Fox News terminology: "anti-Iraqi forces"

[Cocoa]

is this new? They've been using it very consistently, there must have been one of those memos.

I was a little surprised it was used to represent the insurgents.

Maybe a more accurate term for the insurgents would be "anti-American forces."

1. Fallujah is "Terror dense"

According to their morning show this morning.

2. Yup, fair and balanced all right

:puke:

3. And we're all "anti-Americans". Rightwingnuts are stoopid.

And yes the "anti-Iraqi forces" crap comes from the bush admin, who told Allawi to use it. And of course, being nothing but good little stenos, the US State Media faithfully uses the term themselves.

5. that's what I thought

Bush admin. Orwellian nonsense adopted by the media like it's normal. :puke:

4. Iraqi freedom fighters is closer

at least Iraqi resistance, or Partisan forces

[Cocoa]

6. which is very confusing

because many of the nasties we're fighting now are the mujahideen, who in the 80's we celebrated as "freedom fighters" but who have since come somehow to hate freedom. :crazy:

7. My newspaper call thems "Rebels"

not insurgents or dead enders or even....terrorists.

[ET Awful]

8. Even 'rebels' isn't accurate, if there isn't a legitimate government

you can't exactly rebel against it.

[AlCzervik]

10. Thats true but at one time my paper referred to them as terrorists

i think the fact that they changed their terminology says something.

9. Bunch of orwellian dorks. This, the net that refers to "homicide bombers"

instead of what they really are.

Also, count how many times they say "the democrat party".

[strauss_sucks]

11. Patriots

Call me crazy, but isn't that what our forefathers were called when they defended our homeland from outside oppressors. What's the difference here?
