Just curious. I don't doubt we all do it to some degree, but I wonder where people draw the line, if at all.

That's a good example. How quickly I dismiss ideas from a person or article is proportional to how far they get without trying to lie to me. For example, the old favorite of including suicides as "gun violence." I don't care which side you're arguing for or who you are. I'm not reading/watching anything beyond that point. Same with things like "horse medicine" or trying to pivot between "immigrant" and "illegal immigrant" as if the reader can't tell what you're doing.
