I'm watching FoxNews waiting till its time to flip to ESPN2 for soccer.
They have a short thing on about Thomas Hamill, the American who escaped from the FMR during a gunfight with US troops. Besides saying he literally ran to US troops (no shit, he was trying not to get shot), the also called him a Die-hard American. What the hell is this? Is he like Bruce Willis or something? I have no idea what this is supposed to mean, I'd like to know if FoxNews does as well.
From my limited dictionary search, die-hard means:
Stubbornly resisting change or clinging to a seemingly hopeless or outdated cause.
So being an American is a hopeless or outdated cause? Is it really too much to ask for journalists to look up words before they use them so they don't completely look like jackasses?
(Note: not a FoxNews rant, just a rant about idiot journalists)
