It is astonishing how when we say politicians "lie" we usually mean they "stretch the truth" or "fudge facts" or "jump to conclusions" but when we're talking about Trump we really just mean he lieshttps://twitter.com/raju/status/1314734314488201221 …

I mean yes I do think the use of softening and distancing language for atrocity is creepy and bad I wish newspapers would not say stupid shit like "Breonna Taylor died in an officer-involved shooting"

However, that is preferable to reporting that Breonna Taylor wasn't shot and is still alive Or that Breonna Taylor actually grabbed the gun out of the officer's hands and shot herself Or that there is no such person as Breonna Taylor and never has been and it's all a hoax

Hypocritical euphemisms, esp from prominent people, still reinforce positive social standards. We see daily that the opposite encourages & reinforces the worst behavior.

"Hypocrisy is the compliment vice pays to virtue." You are at least admitting that the truth is not a good look.
