WDIV Detroit: ... we will be using the term "domestic terrorism" or "domestic terrorist," rather...

[demmiblue]

After much discussion in our newsroom, we've decided that moving forward, we will be using the term "domestic terrorism" or "domestic terrorist," rather than militia. We feel these words better define the subjects of the investigation.

1. Big K&R! nt

[unblock]

2. About time! Hope this catches on....

[Sherman A1]

4. Agreed

[The Magistrate]

3. One Hopes It is the Start Of a Trend, Ma'am

[Fiendish Thingy]

5. Clearly they are not a Sinclair owned station! Nt

[KS Toronado]

9. Sinclair station would be spinning it as a secret Antifa group or even BLM

6. It's about time. Thank you, WDIV.

I hope the term spreads like wildfire. A suggestion though, please precede those terms with "right-wing".

7. This is a big f**king deal. Another form of white privilege is escaping the "Terrorist" label.

That needs to be called out and stamped out.

[Generic Brad]

8. Malcolm Nance called them "Vanilla Isis"

I'm partial to his description.

14. Y'all Qaeda?

10. xlnt news, hope it catches on bigly. nt

[ToxMarz]

11. And the right will say there is no such thing as domestic terrorism in the law

but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be called what it is. And whatever it is called needs to include "terrorism".

[Fla Dem]

12. Definitely not a station owned by the Sinclair Group. Good for them.

[yonder]

13. Finally. Let's see this get traction as it should.

[cayugafalls]

15. About damn time.

Now if we could get the DOJ to classify them as domestic terrorists...

[lambchopp59]

16. It took "much discussion" to call terrorism what it is?

WTF is some of the media rhetoric with "fine people on both sides" shit all about anyway? Foda-se isso. Kudos, channel 4 Detroit for reporting realism. For that matter, any these call-outs of "fake news" echoing DT's bullshit-o-sphere needs the emergency brakes pulled as well.
Fox and hate radio need to be relegated to the media halls of shame forever.

[Nululu]

17. About time nt

[tazmaniac]

18. Great...but I also wish

they'd tie it every time it's talked about to the orange devil's "Liberate Michigan" order!

[IronLionZion]

19. 2020 really is a wild and crazy year

when news media finally acknowledges white terrorism. I remember all those lone wolves going back to Timothy McVeigh and before who supposedly had no political agenda. I was waiting for some DUer to claim a plot to kidnap an American governor isn't political either. Maybe they're just incels.

Good for Local 4 WDIV Detroit for doing the right thing here.

20. yeah, so they have always been

what now? Proper investigative procedure to start telling the truth? GOP are demagogues bent on total domination of state now religion next with Roe v Wade looming on the horizon. Gov Whitmer is the Governor of all. Her leadership says she has allies that will make things happen for the good of her state while still observing necessary health protocols.

Her clown assassin(s) failed. Thank God...whomever. They are and have always been white supremacist terrorists as correctly defined in DIV decision.

21. Use both

tying the two ideas together in the public record.

[Cha]

22. TY WDIV Detroit! That's what they are! Rt!
