In the wake of Tuesday’s attack on the Corinthia Hotel in Libya, an Al Jazeera English executive reportedly sent an e-mail to employees banning the use of terms including “terrorists,” “extremism,” and “Islamist.”

To quote the famous American philosopher Arte Johnson, “Ver-r-ry interesting!”

Who knew Al Jazeera would adopt the same speech code as used at the White House?

Looks like BBC Arabic agrees:

nde.washingtontimes.com/twt-treesaver/article/news/2015/jan/28/charlie-hebdo-attackers-should-not-be-called-terro/

The head of BBC Arabic said the Paris attackers who killed 12 people at the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo should not be called terrorists.

Tarik Kafala said that “terrorist” is “too loaded” of a word to describe the actions of Said and Cherif Kouachi. The two died in a shootout with French authorities on Jan. 9.

I don’t know that Aljezzera is any worst then American news stations.
All the same Fox, CNN, MSNBSN, Comedy Central and Aljezera.
What ever the case maybe, I haven’t watched Television since october 2011. and my life has been better. Everyone here should try it, for a year.

I tried it for a little over a month now and I can’t say I like it. At first it was peaceful, but now I miss breaking news stories and a few of my favorite shows.
