My main problem with most journalism today is the overuse of loaded adjectives specifically, but loaded language in general.
It's rare to find a news story at all these days that reports something as
'X happened on this day. A and B parties were involved. Y was the consequence of X.'
Instead news.is always reported more like.
'&adjective, &adjective X was the most &loaded_descriptor event ever. The &negative_adjective, &dehumanizing_term A's, &negative_adjective &negative_verb the &positive_adjective B's. Everybody should hate the &negative_adjective A's.'
