They're Terrorist Not Activists

If we're fighting a "War on Terrorism" it would appear we have no enemy since they are all "militants", "freedom fighers", "attackers", "activists", etc. It baffles the mind that we are at war with terrorists yet our, and the world's, media are more concerned about being politically correct than winning this war and naming our enemy for who and what they are. Even FOX News, which is a more middle of the road bent than the vast majority of our mainstream media rarely uses the word "terrorist".
