Local4 says it will refer to “militia” as “domestic terrorists”

[lovinlife101]

This group was not a militia.
They were not called up to supplement a regular army. They were not in opposition of a regular army. Most of these guys don’t look to be able-bodied.
Furthermore... they were also not well regulated so, while their right to bear arms is protected by the 2nd amendment, their right to form as a militia is not.
I’m alleging that the original poster of this topic only feels this way because she shares the same political views as these TERRORISTS.
I can’t prove it but that’s just my opinion.

Why has a local television station decided to call innocent people "terrorists"?

If I were the manager of a newsroom, I would have chosen to use “alleged terrorists” or “accused terrorists”.
I certainly would not call them a militia.

The station owners of 2 and 7 should call 4 out on it. Nothing like a little healthy competition, oh, and some journalistic ethics.

No... they should not. That would be incredibly unprofessional. Nothing about your suggestion breeds healthy competition and calling out your peers is not part of journalistic ethics. In fact... your idea is the exact opposite of healthy and ethical. Even if it weren’t, the owners of 2 and 7 have more important things to do than carry on with your silly little vendetta.

So it's okay for a news organization to convict someone before they are convicted? "Terrorism" is the accusation.

Are you okay with cops not calling out bad cops?

This is why society rarely improves.

No and news organizations do not have the authority to convict anyone. That’s just silly.
No

You’re being dramatic

So, they don’t convict, but label innocent people who have not gone to trial AS IF they are already guilty. Got it.

Journalistic malpractice.

Allegedly

Not “allegedly.” Local 4 really did convict them BEFORE and in spite of a trial.

Ma’am... Local 4 is a TV station. They have no power to convict anyone for anything. Courts do that. Judges and juries do that. TV stations make TV shows and sell ad time.
And how does one go about doing something in spite of an event that hasn’t happened yet?

Note: I did my best to delete all the other posts that would have been included in this quote other than the one I was responding to. And my response was more than one word.

Local 4 refers to innocent people, accused and charged with “terrorism,” as “terrorists” prior to and despite a conviction.

Therefore, in the feeble minds of the Local 4 newsroom, a conviction has already taken place. That, or they’re simply liars, political hacks with no ethics or integrity.

If they did something despite a conviction, it would be exoneration. Look it up!

Or they made a mistake... that’s also a possibility.

Local 4 is judge, jury, executioner, ignorant, and morally bankrupt.

You'll have to forgive us if we don't take your opinion regarding what is "moral" too seriously.

But please, carry on.

What’s that, faggot?

You had all day to think of a witty comeback and that's the best you can come up with? Tsk.

Oh well, this was an entertaining diversion, but I'm going to go talk to the grownups now. I sincerely hope that one day you reach out for help in figuring out what chain of events led you to this place in life.

Honesty and accuracy is the best policy. If you can’t take it, that’s your choice.
