Welcome Aboard

Tuesday I complained about The Washington Post calling people who opposed recent activities in Washington "haters." I'm happy to see that the good folk at Breitbart Big Journalism also find it offensive.

So does Scott Rasmussen; writing for the Rasmussen Media Group website, he opines:
What troubles me more than the performance of Congress, though, is how the Washington Post came up with the designation of Haters. Was it an unconscious mistake or a deliberate attempt to stigmatize those who don't share the political class worldview?
WaPo appears to be deliberately pandering to the local audience of politicians, public employees and associated hangers-on, to whom the "hater" designation would be pitch perfect.
