Regardless of who wins the democratic nomination, someone will do a thesis by running the press stories through a word counter and summarizing the linguistic trends. I am certain that it will show that a preponderance of the descriptors used toward a certain candidate have been substantially and qualitatively different in tone and meaning than the descriptors used toward a certain other candidate.
100 delegates up or down--oh, but how the words were different.
Attack or whine? You be the judge, Trailhead.
