Well, they did vehemently deny it was part of their plan.
I wasn't someone who believed their denials, but yes, some people will be surprised by this.
They probably won't believe it's happening even while it's happening.
- watwut 2y agoYou can notice that pattern with conservatives again and again and again. They talk about what they do. Those who read it and believe them are labeled crazy paranoid and polite people are expected to euphemism it. Then they do it. And again and again. While being awarded excessive amount of benefit of doubt again and again. Even now, when I read news, they euphemism and undersell.
- Eddy_Viscosity2 2y agoThe term is 'sane-washing'. The media, even the big media companies so often claimed to be left-leaning, do this. And I think its because the right is just so good at crying victim, that when a news organization just reports what they say, they shout that its an unfair portrayal and fake news. It has been remarkably effective.
