   I think the problem with calling the #J6 prisoners "hostages" is that with hostages there's the presumption that they're being held for some form of ransom. The clear intent of jailing the J6ers was to put them under the jail for what they had done, not to use them as a bargaining chip.

     Do you really think people use loaded language in an attempt to be objective and honest? OF course they are prisoners and not hostages by any objective reading. But not a single person who used the word "hostage" did so because they that that was the most honest word to use, they did it because its the word that sells their agenda the best, thats it, thats all it ever is.
