Yeah, right, ๐Ÿ˜† I bet it was actually due to your lust for absolute power.

CNN Is very biased

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ CARL, WHAT A SLAP! ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

CNN: โ€œThis is an undocumented immigrant…โ€

Miller: โ€œThey were here ILLEGALLY?โ€

CNN: โ€œI want this to be a good-faith discussion…โ€

Miller: โ€œWhen you use language designed to obscure the truth, thatโ€™s NOT good faith. An ILLEGAL ALIEN is an ILLEGAL ALIEN. Theyโ€™re not โ€˜undocumented immigrantsโ€™.โ€

CNN: โ€œStephen, weโ€™re trying to humanize the debate…โ€

Miller: โ€œHumanize? Then letโ€™s humanize the Penal Code too. The bank robber becomes a โ€˜specialist in unscheduled withdrawalsโ€™. The con artist turns into an โ€˜entrepreneur of alternative financial narrativesโ€™. The guy who breaks into your house uninvited is just a โ€˜visitor with pending documentationโ€™. How about that?โ€

CNN: โ€œThatโ€™s a crude analogy.โ€

Miller: โ€œCrude is pretending federal law vanishes because CNNโ€™s copy desk cooked up a cuddlier euphemism. โ€˜Undocumentedโ€™ sounds like someone who forgot their wallet in an Uber. No. Itโ€™s someone who crossed the border without authorization, stayed, and now the press treats the legal statute like itโ€™s a matter of writing style.โ€

CNN: โ€œBut many contribute to the economy…โ€

Miller: โ€œAh, the classic argument: crime stops being crime if the person washes dishes or builds roofs. By the same token, the cigarette smuggler โ€˜contributesโ€™ too, creates jobs in transport. Want us to call him an โ€˜informal logistics entrepreneurโ€™? Would CNN go for that?โ€

CNN: โ€œYouโ€™re polarizing.โ€

Miller: โ€œNo. Iโ€™m rejecting the marketing dictionary. You change the word, then accuse anyone who uses the legal term of being โ€˜inhumaneโ€™. Itโ€™s the oldest trick in the book: first soften the vocabulary, then declare moral victory. The United States is tired of this theater. Call it what it is. Or admit the goal was never clarityโ€”it was narrative control.โ€
