Depoliticized language is the deliberately misleading, agenda-masking language used by people who want their viewpoints to remain hidden behind a patina of objectivity.

You mean like the American Civil Liberties Union, People For The American Way, and radio programs named Democracy Now and All Things Considered?

The ACLU says they fight for civil liberties, and that they do, for the Klan or for students' rights (though they're hardly perfect; they had a shameful period of collusion with the FBI). The People For The American Way has the neutral-sounding name of the interest group.
