TOPIC: Language is telling...

Language is telling... 3 Years, 8 Months ago  
While it is no great shock that masses are being made unemployed due to our bone-headed response to the virus:

www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-53733440

Look at the language: "The UK economy has been battered by coronavirus..."

NO IT HAS NOT.

It has been battered by a specific Gov response to a perceived threat, i.e lockdown.

Call out this misleading/sloppy use of language whereever you see it.

From the comments on Twitter over this article it looks like more and more people are waking up....

Re:Language is telling... 3 Years, 8 Months ago  
What annoys me is when newspapers and journalists get information from Twitter.

I hate celebrity gossip and news also.

We all might as well get our information from The Onion or Babylon Bee.

My partner watched a glass making competition on Netflix the presenter asked the judges what makes glass ?!

I was in a pub last year they had BBC News on the presenter ( I don't think they are journalists) explained what capital was.

I feel we are getting More stupid as a nation. You don't need skill to be on TV just have good teeth, smile and haircut.
