s**thole

DEFINITION: The word U. S. President Donald Trump used to describe Haiti, El Salvador and all African countries gave mainstream media pause Thursday evening. Usually, newspapers and broadcasters avoid profanity, but when it comes from the president of the United States, it’s news. The Washington Post, which broke the story, shocked some readers by putting the vulgar word in its headline — a rare occurrence in the paper’s 141-year history. National Post used the expletive in the story but kept it out of the headline, as did The New York Times. CNN and MSNBC repeated the word on the lower part of the TV screen while Fox News censored it with asterisks. ABC World News Tonight reported only that the president used “a profanity we won’t repeat.” Ditto CBC News.
