@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.
You could only find few words to base your thesis of manipulation when a news article gone contrary to what you have been manipulated to believe. You sure it isn't really you who have been manipulated to believe in what you believe considering the media you consume is the one that uses those words heavily, creating a matrix of misinformation making it really difficult for you to keep your world view unaffected by that matrix you live in.
