Leaving aside anything factual, I really hate these rhetoric tricks.
We're talking about interest groups funded by corporations with incentives for some rules fighting against other interest groups funded by corporations with incentives for the opposite rules.
Calling one group a "liberation movement" and the other a "lobby" feels super dishonest.
This is something you often see in mainstream media too. Usually the easiest way to know which ideology a journalist is biased towards is to ask "Which side do they describe with the same lexicon they would use if they were talking about the Rebels in Star Wars vs the Empire?"
- ksec 6y agoThat is a good take. Right now I dont even want journalist to tell me what they think. I just want them to present the fact from both side and let me do the thinking. Instead they are actively shaping their readers thinking directions.
