What is sane washing and why do journalists do it?

If a politician says something that's garbled or hard to understand, a journalist's go-to is to not quote, but paraphrase. But does that do a disservice when it obscures the fact that the politician is often like this? DrSturg breaks down how journalists choose to paraphrase and quote and how that might not work so well in the modern media climate.

Personally love the show. Still maturing in it’s voice, which I find charming. The content and perspectives to analyze any topic from A toolbox of rules, angles, guides to measure the makings of any story. Considerate and logical people, like you, will find this sort of analysis revealing. Some reviews claim this is propaganda of some kind, which is a weird claim considering after listening to the podcast I feel much more prepared with the tools needed to spot such things. Clearly some reviewers need to actually listen, which is a rare skill these days.
Great

This pod series should be taught to high schools! I am learning so much. If there were a written answer test I’ll have my son write his take and send it in.
