The media strikes again. Why are we calling the 4 freshmen, female Congress people a "squad"? Why not "gang" or "clique" or "alliance" or any number of other
descriptive words? Because "squad" sounds good, benevolent, helpful, like police or firefighters, right? Those are squads. The 4 rabble rousing, ill informed, spotlight seeking, mean girl group is certainly not a squad. We need to stop allowing other voices to define what things are called because they will always try to influence our perceptions.
