CNN-ness


Missouri National Guard’s term for Ferguson protesters: ‘Enemy forces’:

CNN is on their PC soap box this morning with what appears to be an objection on how the rioters in Ferguson, Mississippi are being referred to or described.

Washington (CNN)As the Missouri National Guard prepared to deploy to help quell riots in Ferguson, Missouri, that raged sporadically last year, the guard used highly militarized words such as “enemy forces” and “adversaries” to refer to protesters, according to documents obtained by CNN.

According to CNN; somewhere in National Guard records, the people with bricks, bottle, Malakoff cocktails, stick, clubs, guns and whatever else they can get their hands on, that are using these weapons against law enforcement are called enemy forces and adversaries  WELL!!!

The sensationalists always like to embellish their wording to make issues look a lot worse than they really are by using  aggressive descriptions like; enemy forces – adversaries and militarized.  I just got the shiver.

Personally and logically, if some dude or dudes or dudess were coming at me with one of those weapons, I don’t think I would be calling them friendly forces.

I don’t know just how intelligent some of these news media writers are but any one of these weapons can kill a person.

The $64,000.00 question today is. What would CNN or any other PC-possessed organization recommend these enemy forces and adversaries be called?  Flower children?

I can think of a lot worse names for the lawbreakers.

Am I trying to justify what the cops may have done in Ferguson? Not at all; that is a separate issue.

CNN; try to find something positive or encouraging to write about instead of stoking the hatred flames. There are enough headaches out there without trying to orchestrate any new one.
