NAILED IT: Bill Maher: “Canadian state TV told its reporters, ‘do not refer to the September 11th attacks as terrorist attacks.’ No? Even though the very definition of terrorism is using violence against civilians to pursue ideological goals, what should we call it then? Unruly passengers? A wrong turn taken at the Chrysler Building? Why not just say the planes and the towers got into a fight?”
“I mean, after all, as the BBC advised its reporters, using the word terrorist can be a, ‘barrier rather than an aid to understanding.’ You know what's really a barrier to understanding? Lying.”
