Kidnapping is an emotionally loaded term which isn’t used in journalism. Makes sense. Edit: nah I’m wrong. They’d use it for the actual crime of kidnapping.
I hate this shit. We need media to call a spoon a spoon.
In truth, I haven’t, but I’m sincerely looking forward to having the nuances of esoteric cutlery and their proscribed use in polite society explained to me, as if in a cotillion class, by someone with the username “prole.”
Yeah unfortunately while law should mostly exist to protect the vulnerable from the powerful, instead many US laws such as libel exist mostly to allow the powerful to muzzle the vulnerable
Trump’s a litigious piece of shit. If he can prove libel, he’ll prove libel. BBC (and all news networks, really) need to tread lightly and keep him happy or they will get kneecapped with legal actions. Which, even if they win, and have every reason to win…it’s still an expensive and time consuming process, and they still have to tread lightly.
Meanwhile, advertisers and shareholders get very nervous. Granted, this doesn’t apply so much to BBC.
This is what civil justice has come down to. What’s “right” is decided by who can pay lawyers long enough to prove it. Stab each other with plastic forks and see who leaks to death first.

Call lies, lies. “Misinformation”, “inaccuracies” “incorrectly said…” Nah fuck that. Trump lied.
Spoon? Is that like a symmetrical, dull, parabolic knife?
Someone’s never seen a grapefruit spoon

Nah, they’re just cool looking, sharp spoons
they’re not sharp, they’re serrated
That makes sense. I hope my tone came across as more playful than accusatory.
Your MOM’s dull and parabolic, but not symmetrical!
Duh. Her boobs are not the same size.
Alright, Sunflower Eriksen, just calm your tits.
I’ll have you know that my decreasingly ample bosom is in a state of complete relaxation 😁
No, that’s a putty knife. Spoons are elliptical and concave.
