This is an older article, but felt it was important enough to share.

    I see no article here.

    I agree with the general premise you present, but let’s be clear: there is a BIG difference between framing this example as “invading horde” and “migrants”. One of these, at least, aims to present an acceptably neutral term, while the other targets a more visceral and inflammatory response. Both sides are not the same.

      Also? One statement is factual. Migrants are people moving from one place to another. That’s what these people are doing- migrating in search of a better life.

      “Invading Horde” is not factual. They aren’t Mongols leading a massive and blooding military incursion into most of Central Europe.
