Subtle language differences reveal MSM bias
Posted on 9/23/17 at 12:37 am

The word selection used by the MSM is one of the strongest ways the MSM shows its bias.
Extremely common examples:
Obama "warns"
Trump "threatens"
Obama "critiques"
Trump "attacks" or "slams"
Obama showing emotion was "passionate" or "enthusiastic"
Trump showing emotion is "unhinged"
Obama "states"
Trump "claims"
and the list goes on and on

I'm pretty certain that you are correct, but you should show some examples to really drive the point home.

I noticed it specifically a lot over the past few months with the warns vs. threatens language.
In the MSM, Democrats do a lot of "warning"
Republican "threaten"
Just begin noticing when the media chooses to use warn and when they chose to use threaten. You'll see who they are talking about is the chief factor.

Complete & Absolute utter obliteration with that comment.

That's "total annihilation" verbiage there, Cotton.

What were the US headlines?
Posted on 9/23/17 at 8:46 am to IAmReality
One of my favorites is when something goes wrong on Monday. The Tuesday print headline is:
'Trump is thwarted by ...'
but
'Obama faces challenges.'
'Trump is thwarted by ...'

'Obama faces challenges.'
