WTF
Now I know corporate news stations are selling the news - but something I've started to notice in particular with American reportage is the all the sloganeering (you'll have to read on to find out what this means... i think i made it up) they use.
One short step away from singing about waffles being waffley versatile we have these 'catchphrases' for news events/ people. The newest one I've come across is KSM, but of course before him it was OBL.
And of course, the introduction of the phrase 9-11 into our vocabulary. I mean fair enough, but then shouldn't we also have recognition of the phrase 3-19?
5-15?
8-6?

Eventually all american news with be a mix of numbers, accronyms and verbs. Sure makes scanning the drivel easier!
