A Reference Guide to the Language of Politics

15

Politics is the focus of the latest edition of Update-1. Specifically, the language of politics and the terms and phrases we hear on a daily basis. Broadcast Committee member Jared Rizzi, the White House correspondent for SiriusXM Satellite Radio, interviews Chuck McCutcheon, a co-author of "Dog Whistles, Walk-Backs, and Washington Handshakes: Decoding the Jargon, Slang, and Bluster of American Political Speech." They discuss who uses what terms against whom, and some surprising examples of their use.
