Replying to a message of Ross Sauer to DAVE DRUM:

 RS> "Fox And Friends" claim because the Obama administration
 RS> won't say "terrorist," (not true,) it's encouraging
 RS> terrorism.

Actually, those who publicize terrorist acts are encouraging terrorism.
The purpose of those acts is to get as much publicity as possible, and,
of course, to frighten - or at least worry - people.

If the media would ignore such acts those acts would eventually cease.

For three days following the Columbine shootings, the Omaha World Herald carried
big headlines and pictures of crying, bleeding teenagers on its front page.  The fact
of the matter is that in the Omaha World Herald's circulation area - effectively the
entire state of Nebraska - there might have been perhaps two dozen people affected
by the event, to everybody else it wasn't even news - just sensationalism.
