THE T-WORD. Twice in one day! Media Backspin notices what may be a trend

First from AP:
In the latest violence, however, the hospital became part of the conflict. Gunmen took positions on the hospital's rooftops and surrounding towers. Militants fired at each other inside the facility, terrorizing patients and doctors alike.
That, though, is a description of terrorist vs. terrorist. But then from the NY Times:
A green Hamas flag flies over the building, a tourist site for Hamas members and their families. Um Omran came to see where her son had been tortured. She said he was killed in 2003 by Fatah. Her husband’s brother had also been held there. He was Adnan al-Ghul, the man credited with inventing the first Qassam rocket in 2001, a weapon that Hamas has used to terrorize Israeli cities like Sderot. He was killed by the Israelis in 2004.
True, it's not the word 'terrorist'--but then again, we are dealing here with the media.
We need to be patient.
