This article and the ideas discussed is a perfect example of what I mean when I talk about all writers being authors of “propaganda”. It’s the terms we decide to use that frames the discussion that ensues. And or versus. Subtle but distinct difference in the selection. As the author of this article points out:

The lesson is here is simple: pay attention to language. The messages and meanings underlying the terms chosen by interest groups can say more about them than they might intend.
