As we all know, the manner in which situations are presented - the words and photos used - make a difference in how they are perceived by the public. That's why many of us focus on semantics despite a not-infrequent pushback against doing so.
Case in point:
"Survey" shown on the Las Vegas News 3 website today -
Poll:
Who would you like to see as the next president of the United States?
Donald Trump
Any other GOP candidate
The Democratic candidate
Pope Francis
Readers are urged to vote, given only these silly options - yet the news media wants us to take them seriously...
Seriously?
