[ale] Celebrate - Usama killed!

[Damon Chesser]

Astounding.  We went in three emails from Bin Laden is dead to Fox Sucks.  What one has to do with the other is beyond me.  After having watched the breaking news on FNN, I never once saw anybody guess on what Mr. Obama would say, other than The President is scheduled to speak soon.

I don't care what news source you prefer, btw.  I am merely objecting to three emails to go from first post to political/biased/fox sucks.

I happen to LIKE the description of homicide bomber vs. suicide bomber.  I think Homicide is more honest.  Suicide implies other people died as an after effect of the suicide.

Am I stupid?

I liked the fact that CNN refused to speculate on what the President was
going to say even when they had one source.   They waited until they had
3 sources confirming it and the President had delayed for quite a while
before they reported it.

Fox knows how to mispronounce things.  While most reasonable people
understand that "suicide bomber" simply designated that the murderer
killed himself instead of doing a remote detonation Fox decided everyone
was too stupid to understand that.   Accordingly they came up with
"homicide bombers".   They also showed how reliable a news source they
are by continuing to employ Geraldo after he claimed to be in the midst
of a battle he was 300 miles away from and called it a "mistake".   How
the heck does someone not know the difference between bullets wizzing
past their ears and NOT wizzing past their ears?

I have to note though that it seemed that FOX was the only one that
spelled it with a U, while all the others were spelling it as Osama.
Doesn't matter as long as he's dead, bullet to the head from the
President's announcement.
