- Misrepresentation: Calling the Russian actions in Ukraine “alleged” is a way of potentially downplaying the severity or validity of documented attacks or violations.
@yogthos 5. Use of emotionally charged language: The words like ‘hysteria’, ‘atrocities’, ‘rampages’ play with the emotions of the readers, leading them to take sides without looking into the facts.
Such manipulation could be intended to steer readers towards a particular point of view on these complex geopolitical issues.
