this could also be in politics...
News is supposed to relay facts to the public. What bothers me, among other things, is how so many times the choice of adjectives is deliberately misleading.
Example... "Justice Breyer is facing pressure to resign.." How do you "pressure" someone with a lifetime appointment?
Also, so many times when news reports discuss actions of Pres. Biden, there is a reference to something Pres. Trump did, there is a negative adjective placed before the description. i.e. unfair, disastrous, etc. When they do this I immediately feel that they are slanting their report and I have a tendency to give less credence to the report in general. |
