   Rule of thumb: A "news" story that attaches adjectives to every phrase is not just telling you information; it's telling you what to think about that information.

   "unfounded", "baseless", "innocent", "disturbing", "major", "critical", "extreme", "breaking", "shocking", "right-wing", "left-wing". Also "black", "white", "trans", "gay", "cis" when it's immaterial to the story

   It isn't news. It's propaganda.

     @SirBemrose my favorite trick is "X happens, after Y" to create a potential causal link between x and y in people's minds when they are really only saying that two separate events occurred at different time periods and most likely have nothing to do with each other
