I think you might be right. Admittedly, I was projecting my own disgust about neighborhoods around me being razed to build row houses and 3 story wood apartments to house the endless influx of out-of-staters into the city where I live in the northwest. And also my dismay at government corruption seeping into every facet of our personal lives. To rephrase: I'm concerned that terminology distracts from core issues. Spin sways the masses one way or another so that they can be manipulated into voting against their own self-interest. Without context, there's no way to know to what extent NIMBYism or eminent domain plays into these debates. So we should generally consider 2 or more perspectives, but infotainment often only hits us over the head with 1 to achieve a political goal through propaganda.
