Roger Simon gives the British owned Reuters a lesson in English. He's not happy.
Of course that is a Big Lie. Reuters is no more impartial than I am. Language itself is not impartial--it always seeks to persuade, covertly or overtly. The word "insurgent" glamorizes fascists and its use assists the fascist cause. Do I go too far? Let me ask the people at Reuters a simple question, although I am dubious any of them would respond. Can they identify one single Iraqi "insurgent" whose politics was not Baathist or Jihadist, both different sides of the fascist coin? Well, I realize some are common criminals as well, but other than that... I'm waiting...
I'm not.
I'll post the picture that got Roger riled.
