Author looks at the way mainstream news organizations are serving terrorists by using biased, relativistic-sounding language that calls terrorists "alleged" or "suspected hijackers," and who talk of using a "level playing field."

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The 19 suspects in the airborne assaults on the United States spent about $500,000 preparing the operation and four of the hijackers were trained in camps in Afghanistan run by Osama bin Laden, The Washington Post reported on Saturday.This is so disgusting. "Airborne assaults" are what paratroopers did behind Normandy.

From the link:Reuters has decreed that, in the words of its news chief, Steven Jukes, "We're trying to treat everyone on a level playing field, however tragic it's been and however awful and cataclysmic for the American people . . ." Steven Jukes has also written that, "We all know," he wrote, "that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter and that Reuters upholds the principle that we do not use the word terrorist . . ."
Suspected propagandist Steven Jukes is a man of "principle." Got it?
Simple. The media supports terrorist because terrorism benefits the media.
