    Nice conspiracy theory, but I doubt there are super secret meetings of all "mainstream media" sources to coordinate this plot you believe exists.

    We are are seeing is simply a net result of several cultural characteristics. Let's not forget that journalists are liberal arts majors but their business owners are MBAs. All work for massive multinational conglomerates. If there is a conspiracy, it's to make a boatload of money.

    OMFG! I really thought that was my sarcasm that invented such a stupid arsed title topic but I should have known better. I must have a more centrist view of American politics because I see PRAVDA especially now during the reign of America's Lying King I as being on the extreme right wing as in oligarchical NAZI_FACIST with Russia run by the Vlad The Tyrd and friend of the House of Orange Hair. Maybe the Putinovs and the House of Orange with intermarry to solidify the thrones of perpetual evil.

    Yes an aircraft carrier filled with money and extreme but invisible coordination.

    What secret meetings? It’s totally out in the open! There’s no mystery here. Six of the seven mainstream news media networks are being severely dishonest if they claim to be fairly reporting on all relevant matters in geo-political and social issues. It’s a joke. And I won’t bore you repeating the scores of incidences I could cite where they covered-up left wing scandals faster than a girl running out of Weinstein’s suite. Then they downplay the gravity of the issue which is horribly dishonest and hypocritical.

    Conspiracy my foot. Just plain open agenda. We hate pro-lifers, Christian prudes and their morals, we want to promote perversions of all kinds, we will protect Obama, Hillary, Podesta, et al. by not exposing them the way we will with Trump, tea party, right wing militants, et al. You say their only prime objective is to make money? Ha! They can have both money and influence. There is no way the second one is of any lesser importance.

    Unnamed source. Friday news dump. Washington Post.

    I smell a future hidden retraction.

    ALL of us, Left and Right, should be alarmed at any censorship rules being laid out to forbid the use of words, per se. State control of language, no matter whether the government is hyperliberal or ultra-conservative, is always overbearing, and tyrannical.

    Language is thought!

    Dude, you deny it's a conspiracy then you paint a picture of a conspiracy.

    I don’t think anything will come of it. Yesterday, The US Court of Appeals ruled in favor of “FUCT” brand clothing being perfectly acceptable and any other offensive trademark for public consumption. It violates free speech. I just wonder how important is allowing us to be as vulgar or gross as we want to be really making a difference in helping this nation overcome all its many real problems or failures.

    You doubt the Trump administration would do this or you think they'll retract it?

    It is political correctness just like the political correctness of the left. The only difference is the words.

    No you obviously are either not grounded enough to view the world of politics and ideology from a rational or even keeled point of view or you just do not understand that the spectrum between left and right is rather wide. Or you do not understand what bias is. You appear to think that if a "news network" is not lambasting the position party, their favorite president's critics, and all former presidents of the opposition party on a daily basis hen they are "biased".

    Just because a network reports that the FBI is investigating a POTUS's campaign for possible or likely crimes or other inpropiaties and that is your boy that does not make them biased. Just because a network reports that the opposition party to your favorite POTUS has points that are critical of him or his policies does not make them biased. What makes a network biased is the network that "reports" all criticism, all investigations, and all reports of impropriety as "fake news" regardless of what the facts are or before an investigation is completed. The network that calls for shutting down any investigation into possible or probable criminal activity of their favorite party is biased. The network the broadcasts 24/7 accusing candidate or government officials of the opposing party of murder or purposely letting state department employees die without one bit of evidence is biased. I must add keeps that crap going even after 1727 1/2 hearing and investigations found no evidence.

    The network that gives virtually unlimited air time to any buffoon that claims that the POTUS of the opposing party was not a natural born AMERICAN CITIZEN and fails to very such claims by those buffoons is biased.

    I am not saying that the mostly honest networks do not screw up occasionally because they do and they correct their mistake.

    The network that calls for the immediate resignation of any politician of the opposing party who commits unwanted sexual advances or simulated groping but then says nothing about an admitted child molester running for the Senate where he was going to create the Gang Of Pedophiles caucus.

    BTW NPR rather quickly fired their coopers and butt grabbers but I see that the CEO of unwanted or coerced genital touching is still in the Oval office. Where is the outrage on that from the network that claims to be fair and balanced and not biased ??? ?

    No, no you really don't. And the fact that you can't recognize that, and you are so far out of touch with the political spectrum that you believe you are a centrist, this is a big part of the problem today. Not just "you" specifically, but you generally also. It's the problem with how polarized segments of our country have become (this goes for both sides, extreme left and extreme right) we have people so polarized and so extreme on one side or the other that they can't even see the center anymore. Independent thought has gone out the window in favor of biased news and blogs that spoon-feed the partisans the party line they want to hear. You've simply bought into it hook, line, and sinker, and now here you are promoting it.

    Development of the baby in the womb. Those are just the various stages of the life of that baby.

    I know you are only pro choice

    But the choice you are for is kiling unborn children

    Which is wrong but for me there is a practical side

    Since abortion is for the met part liberal women killing future liberals

    So it helps keep the liberal population in check

    Are you citing the Bible as an authority on biology and our common language? Baby is as accurate as fetus and is our more common term.

    You're pregnant: Now what?

    So — you're pregnant! What's next? What should you eat? What kinds of tests will you and your baby need? What happens if problems come up? Get answers to these questions and more.

    Nobody's controlling anything, this is an internal memo on word usage that has been made public. It doesn't affect anyone other than the CDC. Think of it as "rules of etiquette" for a government agency.

    Today, it may only 'affect' the CDC, but the tentacles of 'newspeak' are like a disease that tends to infect everything. As I said, and deeply believe, "Language is thought!". But, to an American population of English-speakers, where every single sentence it utters must be peppered liberally with, "you know", "I mean", "basically", and other maddeningly-repeated, blithering-idiot "filler", it probably doesn't make any difference at this point anyway.... :psychoitc:

    Ohhh... I just figured it was that nobody in the Trump White House knew what any of those words meant.... thanks for clarifying (I can still say clarifying, right?)
