Why does the media keep saying Russia “meddled”?
President Trump uses it.
So do most left and right leaning media use it.
They’re using the word “meddle” to describe Russia’s actions during the 2017 election.
Linguistically ( and nothing is ever just about the language, is it?) it’s really a strange choice. Here’s why.
“to meddle”
Nosy neighbors meddle
“Friends” meddle
And, mother-in-laws meddle
But….foreign governments:
Disrupt
Tamper with
Sabotage
