I got 5 lines into that piece and counted no less than five emotive / loaded expressions. This is not "journalism" but an outright propaganda piece. It's written more like a yellow-journalism tabloid than a serious article... but more importantly when you come across pieces like this that use such inflammatory rhetoric, you know who the intended audience is.... slow witted, easily manipulated sheeple.
It's very sad because a friends entire family are absolute MSM brainwashed non-thinkers that I know are the exact audience to be manipulated into believing articles like that. They read it, too uneducated to understand it is full of strawman arguments and other logical fallacies to realize it's pure manipulation and does not look into facts at all.

It's "1984" with a more subtle twist.
I've said, Operation Mockingbird meets 1984.
