Editing Doublespeak (section)

=== In politics ===
[[Edward S. Herman]] and [[Noam Chomsky]] comment in their book ''[[Manufacturing Consent|Manufacturing Consent: the Political Economy of the Mass Media]]'' that Orwellian doublespeak is an important component of the manipulation of the English language in American media, through a process called ''dichotomization,'' a component of media propaganda involving "deeply embedded double standards in the reporting of news." For example, the use of state funds by the poor and financially needy is commonly referred to as "[[social welfare]]" or "[[handout]]s," which the "coddled" poor "take advantage of". These terms, however, are not as often applied to other beneficiaries of government spending such as military spending.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Goodwin|first=Jeff|date=March 1994|title=What's Right (And Wrong) about Left Media Criticism?
