The Left likes to control language and its meaning. Thus homosexual became gay. Liberal, which meant something different years ago, now is coopted, as is progressive. Jihad has a negative connotation so they’ve devalued it to use as a pejorative anti-Republican word. It also steals its real meaning and makes it impossible to describe a real jihadist with any sense of what that means. Now by using it thusly a jihadist will no longer be viewed as somebody who will kill innocent parade goers but it’s a man in a suit and tie who you don’t agree with.

The news media has distorted the truth and twisted words and meanings for years. Few people in this country ever heard of a “jihad” until a few years before 9-11. Like the Clinton’s did back in their hay day, throw it against the wall enough times and sooner or later it will stick. Nothing has changed.

Shameful is the most charitable thing that can be said of this political boost to Hillary. Right down to using Media Matters, Hillarys creation, as the source for attacking FOX News. (What is new here?) This permanent talking head and sometime newsman has sped up the inevitable loss of all credibility at the once respected Washington Post.
