yielded to pressure or laziness over time. Sorry you think the above is only my POV. I take a long view on what I see in the world--from the perspective of thousands of years of history--and not from any fixed standpoint or group membership. FYI, my main news sources are NPR, BBC radio, Radio France
International, Newshour, Deutsche Welle (German radio news), and whatever papers I come across. -

If people need more context to the term, the reader can follow the link to the full article where there is discussion of historical usage of phrase, as well as a link to a separate article (

time I come across a person inserting "so-called" before the phrase "war on terrorism" is when the writer is an opponent of said war, writing in a non-objective media article. (i.e. a partisan political magazine) It very much is your POV that the name is propaganda or that journalists that do not use

Hello- Just a note to explain my template edit adding quotes to the above term: Though widely used in the media in reference to various activities, this expression was invented by U.S. administration political propagandists and is not a legitimate or accurate term for describing the campaigns it is
598:
I agree that the template is utterly unnecessary. Steven, on second read, I think rather than saying simply "good journalists", it would have been more accurate and just for me to say "journalists who are careful with language and not quick to jump on bandwagons"; I'm sure plenty of good ones have
521:
In any case, I was not using the quotes in the negative manner you seem to be implying; I merely don't think WP should use that term without giving some indication that it is a contrived one. Good journalists in the U.S.--and almost all journalists I've heard and read from elsewhere--insert

It says the underlined ones had more than 100 deaths but all of them are underlined. I am deleting this sentence. If anyone who knows more about editing templates would like to change it so only the attacks with over 100 deaths are underlined then go for it.
522:"so-called" before the term "war on terrorism" (and especially before the grammatically lamentable "war on terror"). They do not do so to indicate their POV, but to maintain neutrality and distance themselves from endorsing the term. -
832:
I agree & another reason to not name them that way is that there have been many other attacks which aren't in the template. It makes no sense to say that an attack was the 10th in a particular location when it wasn't.
440:
I dont understand the purpose of this template. 90% of the pages on the template doesnt exist so whats the result of this, all the links are in red. Either you should make all those pages or remove them from the template.
674:
Take it easy---no need to get defensive. I wasn't implying anything about you, no insinuation whatsoever, just clarifying where I'm coming from in reaction to your above comments ("non-objective media article", etc).
517:
I've never encountered the term "scare quotes" before, and from reading the WP article you linked, I'm not at all convinced that it accurately presents the term's definition or the extent to which it is

I also agree the template is not needed. I have a feeling, though, that marking it for deletion at this time would not be successful because the subject is so current. —
