Sure, let’s have lawyers cross examine traumatized children. No way forcing them to go though that in a adversarial way could make the trauma worse or intimidate victims into silence.
The headline suggests that acts which are currently considered to be sexual assault are no longer going to be considered sexual assault. “Ease sex assault rules.” Yes, the headline is “technically true,” but it is purposely misleading.
Same as this one from the same source. “Trump Admin Emails Air Traffic Controllers: Quit Your Jobs”. Yes, technically true, and still horrible, but it’s the same email that all federal employees got. The administration didn’t specially pick out ATC.
This is how propaganda works. Word things in such a way that they’re true to a very careful reader, and whistle idly while most readers digest a misleading message.
I’m not bOtH sIdEsing this. A lot more propaganda has been put out by the fascists, for longer, and to a greater degree of falsehood. That doesn’t make messages that you want to hear immune from being propagandized. These examples are small potatoes by comparison, sure, but if you want to make accurate judgments and !resist@fedia.io fascists effectively, do so on the basis of actual facts, and point out propagandizing when you see it.
