The media chooses their words wisely to push their agenda to the masses that arent smart enough to read between the lines
It wasn't that long ago - well, to me, anyway - that Ted Turner famously trumpeted that any CNN staffer caught using their word "foreign", as in foreign correspondents, foreign citizens, etc., would be fined. Instead, they were immediately to start using "international" instead.
And it was a CNN interview from just a few short years ago that got my attention. Remember when a woman got in trouble with an Akron area school district because she falsified official resident documents so her child would go to a "better" school district, instead of the one they actually lived in?
The media ignored the woman's forgeries, and instead cast the school district as a huge unfair bully. Mark Gallagos, interviewing the superintendent, said, "Sir, you know how this is playing out, don't you? The woman just wants the best for her kid, and it appears you are preventing her and her child from an education." (A lie - the district was doing no such thing, the mother was free to send her child to their actual resident school district)
Translation: "Sir, you know how we are framing the story, don't you? No, we are not going to talk about the mother forging official documents. No sir, we are not going there, we have already determined how we want our viewers to think. You are our target, not her."
