Control the language, politicians know, and you stand a better chance of controlling the debate.

I’m sure the reason they’re re-working their language has something to do with the remarkable strength and irresistable persuasive power of their position.

Control the language, politicians know, and you stand a better chance of controlling the debate. So the Obama administration, in its push to enact sweeping energy and healthcare policies, has begun refining the phrases it uses in an effort to shape public opinion.

According to the Government, this polar bear cub emits harmful greenhouse gas which contributes to global warming.
