Terrorism

[edit]

A remark commonly uttered when telling people not to use terrorism/terrorist in Wikinews's own voice is "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" (hm, really ought to use modernizing gender-neutrality techniques but two-syllable alternatives like "person" have less punch). I recall in a discussion (with BRS) making the point that politicians weaponize these terms. --Pi zero (talk) 03:11, 30 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

I'd be glad to add this quote. Who do I attribute it to? --Gryllida (chat) 03:15, 30 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
