Comment on Husband needs proof news is censored
MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 4 days agoWords to watch out for are things like “attacked”, “bashed” or “slammed” instead of “criticised”; “forced” instead of “chose”, eg “company forced to cut jobs”; “muzzled” or “gagged” instead of perhaps “censored”. The implied violence charges the story emotionally, it’s the most common form of news manipulation. They’re trying to make you feel - usually fear or anger - rather than think.

I’m so sick of seeing “slammed” in news.
