Hey media use a different phrase.

I sometimes read where MAGA traitors were shown to have "stormed" the Capitol on 6 January.

Attention media, the 1st Infantry Division stormed the beaches of Normandy, and the 2nd Marine Division stormed the beaches of Tarawa.

Maybe the phrase the media should use is: "MAGA beshitted the Capitol with insurrectionist intent on 6 January."

There, fixed it for you.

1. I just wish they would quit calling Trump the "front runner"

Based only on polling, no voting yet, and I never hear Joe Biden referred to as the front runner. It’s part of the whole media hyping of trump, they don’t even know they’re doing it. That’s part of the problem with the media bias toward Trump, they’re in such denial they’re not even aware when they do it

3. Ugh. You are probably right, they do live in a different world with their high salaries and constant exposure on TV

4. "Hey media use a different phrase" could be a forum in its own right

or a perpetual thread. Squatters are settlers, insurrectionists are legislators, coconspirators are judges.

6. On a local sports radio show they have a segment titled "Headline Re-Writes"...

in which they pick various current headlines and discuss what the "real" story is behind the headline.

Usually interesting in a sports related way.

We could do that around here. It would make an interesting sub-forum.

virtually everyone used "collusion," instead of the actual CRIME of "conspiracy."

I also dislike the word, "selfie."
