So what's the difference between the 'Diversity' guidelines and the guidelines used to protect the democrats, secretly known as the  'Protect the Democratic Party' guidlines?

—Avoid using word combinations such as "Islamic terrorist" or "Muslim extremist (Avoid using word combinations such as 'Liberal democrat" or "Socialist Democrat")

__Ask men and women from within targeted communities to review your coverage and make suggestions. (Ask the DNC to review your coverage and make suggestions)

 — When writing about terrorism, remember to include white supremacist, radical anti-abortionists (When writing about republicans, remember to include white supremacist, radical anti-abortionists)

they can craft "guidelines' like this but can't be bothered to include some common sense or national security guidelines because that would be "censorship!" Nor can they avoid "inflammatory" language whenever referring to American or western military, government or law enforcement..that would be "censorship!" too, no doubt.

what a boiling steaming crock...especially this tidbit:

"— Avoid using terms such as "jihad" unless you are
certain of their precise meaning and include the context when they are used
in quotations. The basic meaning of "jihad" is to exert oneself
for the good of Islam and to better oneself. "

That is *not* the definition of the word, regardless of what some liberal definition of the Koran might be. it was "Holy War" for centuries, and it is understood by those who speak the language that Holy War is what jihad stands for. More doublespeak of Orewllian proportions.

Just for a test, declare "the desire to exert oneself for the good of Islam" on any imam and see how they take it. Or replace anytime some imam or crackpot declares Jihad on the West with this BS definition...it doesn't work. The real definiton however, fits just fine.

Does one have to be schizophrenic to be a journalist these days in order to overcome the constant contradictions and hypocrisy?

"to call an illegal immigrant an "undocumented alien" is the same as calling a streetcorner drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist".

This is sad...they really should do more research on the subject.  The terrorism and jihad these folks participate in is an integral part of Islam and the Q'uran.  CAIR is part of the Jihad....apparently the media can't figure that out...there are 4 parts to Jihad, and one of them is literally politics and public relations, which is CAIR's role in this whole mess.  CAIR needs to be stopped....people need to stop seeing them as the Islamic equivalent of the NAACP.

— Avoid using word combinations such as "Islamic terrorist" or "Muslim extremist" that are misleading because they link whole religions to criminal activity.

In those contexts, "Islamic" modifies "terrorist" and describes the terrorist, and "Muslim" modifies "extremist" and describes the extremist. If those are accurate descriptions, they are not misleading. Any assumption that all Muslims are terrorists or extremists are in the minds of the reader.

— Do not imply that kneeling on the floor praying, listening to Arabic music or reciting from the Quran are peculiar activities.

DO imply that kneeling on the floor, listening to hymns, or reading the Bible are peculiar activites if the person in question is a "fundamentalist" Christian. That seems to be an unwritten rule.

When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.
