How do you get the Associated Press to use the word “terrorism” in an article without scare quotes?
Simple. Just distort the meaning of the word so badly that it’s unrecognizable. Bam! No scare quotes! Vietnam to try American for terrorism.
HANOI, Vietnam - A Vietnamese-American and two Vietnamese nationals will be put on trial on charges of terrorism for allegedly planning to distribute anti-government pamphlets in Vietnam, an official said Thursday.
