This was the first video that popped into my head after watching the video from TFA. I've seen similar ones in the past for talking points against political candidates and such. One that sticks out was "gravitas", a word parroted by media everywhere during an election cycle some years ago. This is a big part of why I avoid "news" anymore.

    'Optics' implies objectivity while 'perception' implies subjectivity. It makes them sound more authoritative.
