Re: Trouble at Boston Marathon?
I've been calling them Thing 1 & Thing 2.
I think it's time to stop referring to Hardword #1 and Hardword #2 as "suspects." This punctilious adherence to "innocent 'till proven guilty" by the media becomes a maddening verbal tic at this point. Nobody's gonna sue anybody, nobody's gonna have their press credentials revoked by referring to these two as "terrorists" or "bombers" or whatever.
In an earlier age would our media have referred to Heinrich Himmler as the "alleged" author of the Holocaust?
