Example of how socialists hijack language
A journalist may normally write:
“Just as the San Luis Obispo City Council was preparing to approve a new clean energy choice law, the vote has been delayed to consider a conflict-of-interest claim.”
Notice how the name of the law almost makes the journalist advocate for it.
This is how the journalist should write that same sentence:
“Just as the San Luis Obispo City Council was preparing to approve the law named “a new clean energy choice”, the vote has been delayed to consider a conflict-of-interest claim.
The impact is the journalist remains neutral without inadvertently advocating the law and the name of the law now is in question.
Reducing fake news requires eternal vigilance.
