Loaded Language in the press 10:36 - Jun 23 with 1939 views

I quite enjoy looking at reports of the same event from different sides of the political spectrum just to see how by reporting exactly the same thing, their use of language really changes the tone of the piece.

Boris's neighbour talking to the press is a wonderful example of this.

In the BBC he 'defends' taping the row - pretty neutral, thay is what he is doing having been attacked in the media for doing so.

In The Guardian he 'goes public' - pretty benign reporting.

So far as The Telegraph is concerned he 'admits' taping the row. That is a beautifully loaded term, it states the truth same way as the previous two but the use of 'admits' suggests he was somehow trying to hide it before.

Not hard to tell which of those is on his side and who is against him.

That our future PM possibly being a domestic abuser is something of public interest?
