Media Matters - Mass Media adopting GOP slang of "Democrat"
It is a long time ploy of Republicans to not use the adjective "Democratic" in connection with the Democratic Party. Instead they convert the word "Democrat," a noun, into an adjective. Just a bit of a silly word game on their part to deny the favorable term democratic. A problem is that the media is increasingly following their usage. Remember, Democrat is not an adjective.
This is related to another Republican practice to always say that America is a republic, not a democracy. The truth is that it is both, but Republicans want to push that word republic.
