Policy analysts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta were told of the list of forbidden words at a meeting Thursday with senior CDC officials who oversee the budget, according to an analyst who took part in the 90-minute briefing. The forbidden words are "vulnerable," "entitlement," "diversity," "transgender," "fetus," "evidence-based" and "science-based."

  This is media 101.

  Put words into your opponents mouth then make them live up to the lie you made up. Been watching this shit for 30+ years and they never change. The continue to pretend they are there for us. When the reality is they are waiting around for anyone to screw up so they can wave a mike around and look like the morally superior saviors. They got lazy in the past few years. They are now just starting to get back on their game.
