Media Matters has the story of how FOX News has taken to altering AP wire stories that contain the phrase "suicide bomber" to read "homicide bomber," the recently preferred terminology of the White House NewSpeak Bureau. At least once, they actually altered a direct quote from Hillary Clinton in this way.
In none of the cases did they mention to their readers that the original content had been changed.
Besides being just another example of FOX's blatant partisanship, this whole suicide/homicide thing is absurd. What sets these bombers apart is not that they are homicidal, since, you know, ALL bombers are homicidal. It kind of goes with the job. The suicide part is what makes this kind of bombing unique.
Idiots.
