I pushed the word 'massacre' in all of my comments on this subject. The buzz word at that time was 'Fort Hood Shooting'. CNN adopted Fort Hood Massacre, and that phrase was adopted by MSNBC a couple days later. Must be a sheer coincidence.

I have patiently explained how erroneous the term Militant Muslim or Islamic Militant is in regards to a Muslim who is faithfully following the duty's and obligations of his/her faith as clearly stated in the Koran.

Does the News Media call Christian wing-nuts, Militant Christians, or Christian Militant? Of course not, but they also claim they are faithfully following the verses in their Bible and point out those very verses as commands of their God to them specifically.

In the least, the News Media should start calling these Christian wing-nuts, Christian Militants to help the viewers discern that not all Christians want to blow up abortion clinics, nor do all Christians want to murder followers of Islam regardless of what Army Chaplin's state.

Re the horrific shootings at the US Army base at Ft. Hood:
I have yet to hear anyone ask the question, "How did one shooter with only one pistol manage to kill 13 highly trained US soldiers and wound another 30+ without someone rushing and disarming him? Why was it necessary to wait through the carnage until a civilian cop came and aggressively charged him and finally put him down despite her own wounds?" It seems only logical to me that trained soldiers would have enough sense to mount an attack to subdue this guy before even the second person was shot. What happened? I would hope someone would ask the question.

Good TV, bad politics, kind of leaves a bitter taste in ones mouth don't you think.

When political correctness or any agenda dictates what the media says or reports, what's being reported is no longer news. Sensitivity is one thing; but political correctness and agendas are over the line and often define the difference between news and propaganda and/or indoctrination. When the media bows or otherwise capitulates to political correctness or special interests, they not only deny us our right to be informed, but they also give up their own first ammendment rights to some degree. The right to be a free media.

It not just the religion-related issues. Beginning this year, we've also had the federal government defining which news network(s) are legitimate news organizations and which aren't. And which members of the media are legitimate and which aren't. This not only undermines the Constitution, but also pluarlism upon which our country thrives. Without pluralism who would tell us when the pied piper is leading us to a cliff? Not to mention that a diversity of ideas often lead to the best soultions to problems.

Political correctness can also lead to defamation and disenfranchisement of tens of millions of law-abiding lawful immigrant families. Historically we have used terms resident, nonresident, and illegal alien to denote citizens of a foriegn country and their status in the US.

Unfortunately, pressure from special interests has created a political correctness that has resulted in illegal aliens usually being referred to as immigrants. This in turn has led to portrayal of lawful and law-abiding immigrants as being no different than illegal aliens whose existence in the US revolves around perpetually commiting crimes such as identity theft, document fraud, and/or tax evasion, and fraudulently obtaining benefits. This has now further evolved into a campaign by special interests to portray illegal aliens as little darlings who are the victims, thus providing in the minds of pro-illegal alien special interest groups reason to openly amd shamelessly embark on a campaign to deny free speech to those who oppose their agenda. And celebrate when they perceive that they have denied free speech to US citizens in our own country who oppose their agenda.

In my opinion, it's not just SiNN. It's most media outlets that have become too concerned about political correctness. Concerned to the point that we are no longer the free, informed, and secure society that we once were. We need to care about sensitivity and fairness but also consider political correctness to be a seriously failed experiment.
