Sanitized for Whose Protection?

Ace was right to ruminate that the BBC would change its use of terrorist to describe the actions by those responsible for the 7/7 London attacks into something else. It has been a deliberate sanitizing of the BBC News feeds to eliminate the term terrorist from the stories published. There are even screen captures of the same story, with the word terrorist removed from the headline and elsewhere in the story while every other detail remains untouched.

It's sad. The media refuses to call things as they are.
