| #4 I hereby vote that we change the designation of MSM - Main Stream Media to TM - Terrorist Media. I mean, when you think about it, aren't they their good buddies and allies to begin with? |

| #2 Sorry the link no longer works. To check for your favorite media outlet, here is the list: Assailants - National Public Radio. Attackers – the Economist. Bombers – the Guardian. Captors – the Associated Press. Commandos – Agence France-Presse refers to the terrorists both as "membres du commando" and "commando." Criminals - the Times (London). Extremists – United Press International. Fighters – the Washington Post. Group – the Australian. Guerrillas: in a New York Post editorial. Gunmen – Reuters. Hostage-takers - the Los Angeles Times. Insurgents – in a New York Times headline. Kidnappers – the Observer (London). Militants – the Chicago Tribune. Perpetrators – the New York Times. Radicals – the BBC. Rebels – in a Sydney Morning Herald headline. Separatists – the Christian Science Monitor. And Pipes' favorite: Activists – the Pakistan Times. Here is another link |

| #1 They don't like any "T" words. For instance they won't call Kerry a Traitor, or Jimmah Carter a Twit, or Clinton a Twathound. It's far to much to ask for members of the RoP to be called Terrorists. |
