I visit the Real News network regularly and it seems like a really good source of news and opinion....I mean it seems that way. BUT: a couple of things are bugging me. I was just there and saw an interview with Mike Gravel talking about the 'Democrat' primaries.

I've heard Paul Jay, the main interviewer, use the term 'nukyular' instead of nuclear numerous times, but I let it go, even though it makes the fillings in my teeth hurt every time I hear it.
Perhaps, my good friends at DU, someone can enlighten me about what, if anything, might be done about this...I already joined and posted a very civil comment there. If anybody's trying to start a thought virus at that site, perhaps some others would be interested in joining in with the protest?
Opinions, please. Oh, and if you're going to give me a 'get over it' post, plese do it in a polite manner. Thanks.
