CNN Calls War on Terror "So-Called" On Home Page

How fast until this disappears (bold is mine):

Here is the pic and text:


U.S. President George W. Bush gains reassurances from Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf that Pakistan is doing everything it can to help in the so-called war on terror -- and that both sides will remain in close coordination in the hunt for al Qaeda terrorists.

http://www.cnn.com/

Also, Howard Fineman in his latest article uses quotes around the phrase (he also put quotes around "the homeland.")

The main reason of course, is that the simple, black-and-white solutions that the president sketched for us in the "war on terror" haven't materialized. Most Americans now consider the war in Iraq to have been a mistake, one that has made us less secure here in what is now called "the homeland."

I will never forgive the media for shirking their duties for 5 years. But that doesn't mean I can't take great pleasure in little tidbits like those above.

Ain't life grand?
