Episode Details

Boortz argues that political language is often used to influence public opinion, focusing on terms like "common sense gun control" and "common sense immigration reform." He contends that labeling a policy as "common sense" implies that anyone who disagrees lacks reason or intelligence. Boortz also challenges the way "mass shootings" are defined and reported, arguing that broad definitions can create misleading perceptions about the frequency and nature of gun violence.
