Is that CNN that wants us to believe that people who are only "edumacated" are now "educated" and not just pompous elitists of no substance?

Why I think I'll not tune them in anymore ~ as if I ever did.

So much for the value of their "edumacations". I despise elitists ~ they are so smarmy.

They so want their power back to twist language - Power that has been usurped by blogs and the internet? That’s rich.

Note to CNN: “Educated” and “elitist” are not synonimous. If CNN were “educated” they would understand the mathematical concept of “subset”, as in “elitist” is a subset of “educated”. But then, that is not even true. There are elitists that are educated, and there are educated that are not elitist. there are even “uneducated” that are elitist.

That’s the problem with so many liberals. They don’t understand that words have precise meanings. They should learn to use the words that most precisely impart to the reader/listener what they are actually trying to communicate. After all, that is why conservatives use the word “elitist”. They are not talking about a person’s educatiion level. They are talking about their attitude.

IE,

instead of cover words, they tell the truth.

We ARE referring to elitists as the enemy of freedom.
And rich [business] people ARE job creators.
