A shift in language ? New and Improved Benghazi ?



As I was listening to AM talk radio tonight on the way home, I noticed a shift in language during their Fox News segment at the top and bottom of the hour. Not sure if it means anything...

They talked about Hillary Clinton testifying today in front of committee investigating the deaths of diplomats killed at a US government facility in Libya. What ???? Where's the "BENGHAZI!!!!!!!!".

Not sure if this was a one off or if it's really a change in messaging. Rebranding the incident to serve it up for the next 12 months as "new and improved" ???

Don't know but I thought it was an interesting phrase.

it is often that the language starts shifting during and immediately following a major loss of this type. It sure is a rebranding ploy, been in the world of ugly political speech for some time, I often do a word count for certain terminology to determine what the next round of BS coming down the pike is going to look/sound like.
