not calling terrorists 'terrorists'

07-15-2005, 12:51 AM

wtf... stupidity department, that's right up there with when we changed Suicide Bomber to Homicide Bomber.

The BBC's guidelines state that its credibility is undermined by the
"careless use of words which carry emotional or value judgments".

Consequently, "the word 'terrorist' itself can be a barrier rather
than an aid to understanding" and its use should be "avoided", the
guidelines say.

so.. are they worried about hurting the terrorists feelings.. or what?

People are stupid... why the fuck is "terrorist" or "suicide bomber" not politically correct?

As my mother has told me "If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck."

People are too sensitive these days...

I think terrorist and suicide are both equally harsh words for TV. I don't see BBC's point.

They wanna substitute the word terrorist (which implies what they are - animals who kills innocents to drive an ideological agenda) with suicide (which they intend to convince us that they aren't bad people just persecuted to the point of hopelessness - we drove them to do this and therefore we deserve it). Pathetic!

Fox's use of the term "homicide bomber" is stupid. They say they say that as not to "honor" the terrorist. WTF that means.

Logic would say that ANY bomber that intends on killing others is a HOMICIDE bomber. DUH! How does one differentiate between "suicide bomber" and bomber like Timothy McVeigh, Eric Rudolph or the Unibomber if you don't use the word SUICIDE? I guess in the world of Fox News McVeigh, Rudolph and the Unibomber weren't "homicide" bombers. Hell they don't even call these guys terrorists even though they are/were. How is McViegh any less of terrorist than the 9-11 guys? He killed 168 people all buy himself.

One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter. Even the "liberators" in Iraq killed innocent people. Just because one man has a stick of explosive taped to himself and the other has a button tat controls a Cruise Missilethe deaths of innocent people are the same.

If the Muslims had the arsenal that the US had they would not be sending suicide bombers, they would be sitting around a table and talking.

Fox News took it's cue for using the term from the Bush administration. I remember seeing the president attempt to explain the rationale for the term. After the initial flack, Fox News was the main ones using it and the president went back to using "terrorists".

Terrorist is a blanket word used against anyone these days. Giving them a more defined name makes the public better informed. Calling all terrorist groups 'al qeada' is also really really misleading. A terrorist is anyone from a hacker to those eco jackasses that torch hummer sales lots to the ira to various whacky religous groups to islamic fundamentalists. The term is too vague imo.

Homicide Bomber(still used by Fox News) is laughable and goes more to show other things about Faux News than anything else.

News, especially American news, is NOT supposed to pass judgements on their stories through inflection, word choice, or anything else. Impartiality would be ideal. "Just the facts Ma'am."

Still pretty non-descript. These people do these things for a reason. They believe in what they are doing enough to kill themselves in the process. Labeling them with a blanket term that evokes so much emotion or implies certain things just helps dumb down the public and labels all with a broad brush.

because he compares suicide bombers to american soldiers who don't intend to kill civilians while the terrorists' main target is innocent and unarmed children, women etc'...

that's just fucking moronic...

Correct. These are the same people who take away ridicule in schools, dodge ball, and grading papers in blue or black instead of getting your F in red. A planet of sissies.

Are not the victims of each just as dead?

To me it seems slightly moronic to not separate terrorists from enemy combatants and call another poster a name after "over-reading" into his post

Thanks to the US media, the term has completely lost any and all meaning or credibility.

The BBC is playing it smart and is catering to a person's intelligence instead of their emotions like so much trashy US news.
