More media debunkment
I have always cringed when hearing the news media irresponsibly flinging around some of their misleading terminology such as "assault rifle" and "automatic rifle." Whether through deliberate action or indifferent ignorance, they commit the greatest acts of poseur faggotry.
This term, immediately offensive, is profoundly accurate in its modern sense and well placed in its current assignment as written above; "shameless impostors possessed of a grossly limited subject matter depth, masquerading as a subject matter experts -- usually for political or egocentric gains"
Now, if you are like me and don't quite understand how this term shifted meanings you may have some googling ahead of you. But for simplicity sake, consider the following example: a hoplophobe (google it) who publicly attacks responsible gun owners using fabricated and spurious information is the direct, amoral equivalent of a homophobe who publicly attacks homosexual members of society using fabricated and spurious information. Such is the case with the ever-popular "HIV comes from Africans having sex with monkies" The homosexual is "gay", but the homophobe is the faggot.
Thus, in the same way the meaning of the term "gay" has evolved to a new colloquial meaning, so has the term faggot. You might ask, "but WHY the long explanation?" Because the terms to describe this bullying and misleading activity had not been adequately condensed into a single phrase to date.
For your viewing please, enjoy this YouTube video recommended to me by a like minded blogger, as the author debunks several such ignorant media claims. Pay particular attention to the testimony of LAPD Detective James Trahin before the California State assembly, as he not only debunks media claims, but takes a jab at them for repeatedly misreporting based on false information. This segment could easily have been featured on an episode of Penn and Teller's Bullshit.
