Question about ABC and the war in Iraq... |
|
On tonight's broadcast, during the report about sniper attacks on American military, the reporter referred to the number of such attacks/deaths since "the American invasion."
Is that standard for ABC or any new outlet? I don't remember anyone else using the word "invasion." Maybe I just haven't been paying attention.

1. I remember Ted Koppel saying invasion the day it all started. |
|
I remember him saying something like, "Make no mistake, this is an invasion."

2. Maybe it's an ABC thing. |
|
It's good, though - call it what it is.

4. I'd go further and call it an invasion and occupation. |
|
But ABC is the only U.S. news organization to use invasion regularly that I know of.

3. Ted Koppel - one of the few that I still respect. |
