Of course the M$M is being told to use the regime's terms since their owners love to dine with the donald at one of his filthy resorts. Can't allow lowly reporter to get away with correcting the RW new terminology.

Question of how complicit these M$M owners are with the whole program of destroying the US. Are there meetings/secret missives that lay out this plan so Bezos, Murdoch, Sulzberger, etc. can steer their ships appropriately?

Start with the immigrants (we're all immigrants), then hollow out the middle-class. turn the ones that aren't >0.1% into the bourgeoisie and then declare war on them.
