Insurgency Definition, Media Labeling Tactics

The New York Times' use of the word "insurgents" to describe ADOS leaders is analyzed as a tactic to frame the movement as a domestic threat or terrorist group. The formal definition of insurgency involves rebellion and violence against authority, which the hosts argue does not apply to a political movement seeking reparations. They suggest that such language would never be used by the Times to describe groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
