Orwellian

Some politician was saying we've got the terminology wrong.

We shouldn't say "shoot to kill"; we should say "shoot to protect".

Of course, that makes all the difference.

Now lets think of a nice way of saying "innocent man with five bullets in his head."

We're learning, I think, to mistrust the media.

It's one of the drawbacks of the kind of rolling news coverage we now enjoy. Facts get reported without being checked and much of what we're told
turns out to be untrue.
