Major news outlets are increasingly scrutinized for their editorial guidelines on sensitive topics. Recent reports suggest certain international broadcasters have instructed reporters to avoid specific terminology when covering particular geopolitical situations—replacing more direct language with softer alternatives that potentially alter the narrative. This practice raises questions about journalistic objectivity and editorial independence. When mainstream media outlets impose word choices that reshape public perception of events, it reflects broader concerns about information gatekeeping and institutional bias. The crypto community has long highlighted how centralized narratives can be controlled through subtle language adjustments. This instance demonstrates that media framing extends beyond the blockchain space—institutional gatekeeping exists across all information channels. How much does terminology actually shape our understanding of global events?

Watching this late at night... it's the same old scripted packaging. I've said it before, centralized discourse power is like high gas fees, so expensive it takes your breath away. I'm not surprised by media rephrasing; the crypto world has been playing that game for a long time.

Mainstream media is really playing word games; just changing a word can brainwash the public... This is no different from the scripted tactics used in the crypto circle.

Mainstream media plays word games, we've seen through it long ago... Changing the wording can brainwash people, this trick is the same as those project teams in the crypto circle.

I've seen this tactic so many times, it's like the information asymmetry in the mempool—those who hold the narrative always get to see the opportunities first. When the media changes a word, they shift the narrative; isn't this the ultimate embodiment of centralized narrative? It's even more ruthless than a sandwich attack.

The script review process is now all out in the open. I've always said that the media's narrative authority is more valuable than anything else.
