Euphemism in Real Time
Posted: April 25th, 2006, 5:20 pm
have any of you noticed the disturbing tendency of the titles of the headlines on mainstream websites containing news sections to switch from one viewing to the next? same story, softer title.
for example, an hour or so ago, we were told, on a website (let's call it "Shotmail") that 'Bush eases environmental rules on gasoline'. Now, the headline is 'Bush seeks to relieve oil pressure.'
altho it sure is erie and disturbing to see, perhaps its good to see the censorship process at work. but how exactly does it work?
