This episode contains content that may be triggering for some audiences. Subject: Unpacking the Minimization of Violence: A Must-Listen Episode!  Have you ever noticed how the media tends to downplay acts of terror and violent crimes with soft language? It’s a troubling trend, and in this episode, we're diving deep into the vocabulary used to describe horrific events and why it matters.  We dissect the recent violent incidents, shedding light on terms like “tragedy” and “event.” Is calling a massacre an "event" truly appropriate? Does this softening of language do justice to the gravity of the situation?  Not only will you hear our thoughts on the terminology, but we’ll also discuss statements made by public figures shortly after these acts—which many feel lack the gravity the situation demands. Take, for instance, Allstate's cautious remarks in the wake of tragedy—does focusing on societal divisiveness distract from the real horror of terrorism?  What’s in it for you?
