Question:

The Sydney Morning Herald (7 November 2003, p. 9) relayed a report from the Los Angeles Times that The Times had ordered its journalists to stop describing anti-American forces in Iraq as ‘resistance fighters’, saying that the term romanticised them and evoked Second World War heroism; for example, the French underground, or the Jews who fought against the Nazis in the Warsaw ghetto. Staff were asked instead to use the terms ‘insurgents’ or ‘guerrillas’. Compare views in the group on the connotations of the terms resistance fighters, freedom fighters, guerrillas, insurgents, rebels and fanatics. In terms of the 2011 Libyan conflict, what other terms might one have used in news reports that (a) sided with the Libyan ‘rebels’ or (b) supported the ‘coalition’ forces?
