One of my favorite media prevarications is referring to overwhelmingly negative feedback as "mixed."
See also: "controversial".
"Controversial" often just means "true, everyone knows it's true, most people agree, but it goes again the narrative and hurts our feelings."
My favorite: "received backlash"
AKA 5 crazies on Twitter with a combined 500 followers went ballistic. And 99% of people either approved or didn't give a shit.
Generous. Sometimes it's closer to zero than 500. With engagement to match.
Personally I like when they claim it has backlash, and the backlash is from actual extremists who find problem with everything in their particular corner.
Oh The Mary Sue didn't like the women in this one? Fucking shocker! Spike Lee complained about black dudes in someone else's movie? Oh lord that never happens!
I'm vouching for this; all of Florida's new laws have been labeled "controversial" by left wing rags
"Some people did a thing."
