    “visitors”, huh?

    …guess it falls in line with the “settlers” carrying out a genocide in Gaza, or the “protesters” who carried out an insurrection here in the US, etc.

    Why is so hard for journalist to just call shit what it is?

     

    Edit- well this rubbed folks the wrong way. Just in case my intent came off wrong:

    visitors --> vandals

    settlers --> invaders

    protesters --> domestic terrorists

    …or are we getting brigaded by MAGAts?

      Just taking a stab here, but journalists can be sued for libel. While we interpret these people in this way, a court of law needs to make it official or someone can take you to court.

      Journalism is still a business and a point of authoritative information.
