    Pfft. I didn’t say I agreed with it. I said it’s not censorship.

    If it is, it's correcting the politically correct censorship of the left, and that's OK by me. I like plain english and despise the corruption of our language by the left.

    You like plain English? Apparently it. The term fetus is a politically correct term? :Roflmao Okie Dokie.

    I stand by it not being censorship. Also, here’s where ITL, UOT and others will say we’re not allowed to bring up how team zero banned the words “jihad”, and “Islamic terrorism” (among others)in their reports.

    The words banned from government documents (only) are descriptors used to convey a hyper liberal message. They are inaccurate. The unborn child is a human. Calling it a fetus allows liberals to dehumanize the child making the guilt associated with murder less (due to abortion) likely. Just one example.

    Wrong. First of all, Bush W. banned those words. It was wrong. Obama continuing the ban was also wrong.

    Perhaps it is wrong. I’m staying out of right or wrong. It is not censorship.

    So this turns out to be a false report ?

    Man. With all this fake news it’s hard to have a decent argument.

    Rev Mitch, you my friend have posted fake news. CDC director emphatically stated no such order exists.

    Well it appears that I have been hoodwinked by one of Mitch’s websites. I should have know better. I’m sure he’ll be along soon to acknowledge it.

    Also, you done putting words in my mouth that I’ve never said? Didn’t even know Bush or Obama had such policy.

    Not at all. And since this is a false report I consider the horse dead.

    The Ministry of Truth is hard at work making sure of Newspeak compliance.

    A follow up story suggests that this list is not an outright ban but are suggestions on words to avoid in budget proposals if they want funding. So not a ban, just blackmail instead.

    Uproar Over Purported Ban at C.D.C. of Words Like ‘Fetus’

    It is very telling that evidence-based is considered an undesireable phrase.
