As everyone knows, the news media knows what's best for us and they always tell the truth. The only problem is that they use really big and complicated words that we simple folk just don't understand. How will you ever keep up? Well, don't worry! We prepared this special translation guide just for you, so the next time you're watching the news you'll be able to follow along!
1) "Debunked conspiracy theory" = a completely factual event that is 100% true and we don't like it
2) "This is dangerous misinformation" = we don't really agree with it but people are still sharing it
3) "Farm animal bacterial infection treatment" = penicillin
4) "Conservative panelist" = guy who once voted for Ronald Reagan, possibly by mistake
5) "Super-spreader event" = gatherings of people we don't like
6) "This is the end of democracy" = Trump said a thing
7) "Settled science" = a non-reviewed study by a possibly fictitious organization that just came out this morning
8) "Widespread outrage" = 3 people on Twitter got mad
9) "Racist statements" = literally means nothing
10) "Informal gathering of like-minded people that fosters a sense of camaraderie and community among friends and neighbors" = bread lines
11) "Zero" = anywhere from zero to several trillion
12) "Republicans pounce" = uh oh... a Democrat raped someone
13) "Mostly peaceful" = it was hyper-violent but we agree with it
14) "Racist dog whistle" = a super-secret whistle that only racists can hear and only we heard it
15) "Anonymous sources" = we totally made this up
16) "This is an apple" = this is a banana
“debunked”
~~~
Right around election time last year, that was one of the favorite words of the media. Almost every time I heard the word “debunked” it was used in political punditry, and not actual news reporting. If there was a red-flag list of propaganda words, this one would have to be very high on it.
How would anything become debunked at all?
Is there an official library of debunked facts somewhere?
Who manages it? How are debunked statements referenced, when not in print or without footnotes?
The word got worn out fast, but it is still sporadically employed. If Trump ever got back into power, you can count on CNN just running live video with the subtitle “debunked” running repeatedly
Let’s go, Brandon! - a poetic example of trochaic dimeter, just like the other phrase you might have thought you heard the crowd chanting but were obviously mistaken.
17. Controversial
Anything or any one that we disagree with and are trying to cancel and destroy
"Political refugees" = They have no idea what rights are enumerated in the U.S. Constitution - indeed, have only a vague idea about what "rights" are, in the first place - but want to come here and begin "reshaping" America to resemble the sh*thole country from whence they came.

Don't they already have a "chyron" for that?

“That’s old news.“ - We never said a word about it, you heard about it on conservative media outlets only. There’s nothing to see here.
17) “riots with looting” = mostly peaceful.

“hold accountable” in the media actually means “ we are going to screw this CONSERVATIVES” life with lies and fabrications”.
