    So today I was watching ABC World News with some guy named Tom Llamas. I've never seen him before and for the first few minutes he was doing ok. Then he gets to a story involving fights which broke out between Trump and anti-Trump suppoters in Huntington Beach, CA. He says how "around two thousand pro-Trump protesters clashed with anti-Trump forces."

    Forces. Huh? what?

    Like they're enemy combatants or soldiers or something.

    I won't get into the pro/anti-Trump politics of it. But just the precedent it sets. When news anchors say things like that, it changes the way we perceive others and ourselves, in a way.

    Now I'm definitely not a news expert so maybe this stuff happens a lot, and this is just some low key thing I'm blowing way out of proportion. I don't know for sure though. So what do you guys think?
