SF Food Wars, Earth Hour and the Power of Words
A series of "dud" news trends are revisited, including the San Francisco "Food Wars" and the "Earth Hour" initiative. The hosts emphasize that "words matter," criticizing the linguistic shift from "carbon dioxide" to "poison gas" in climate change discourse. They also note the repetitive use of phrases like "fact of the matter" and "look/listen" in political rhetoric.
