Grr

Ranting...don't worry not political.

I'm sitting here waiting for Discovery to launch and I just realized how sick and tired I am of media peeps saying "so called". Some dumb @ss must have said "so called" about 20 times now.

Okay...direct quote: "the so-called foam"....look it's foam, not so-called, it is foam...so call it foam....

You'll hear this crap alot on CNN. I thought you used the term "so-called" when there was a 'slang' term for something but apparently CNN is re-writing Webster's Dictionary.

One of the many that drives me nuts:
"no question", in response to a question;
often used by the genius sports talking heads.

We've had nothing but tabloid reporting since Walter Cronkite retired - He said when you start adding adjectives, you are nolonger reporting, but giving opinion.
