What exactly does the term, “Weasel Words” mean? Lets ask the FBI

I hear the term, “Weasel Words” thrown around these days like I heard the term, “paradigm” in the 90s, or how every sentence started with the word “so” around 2015.

Then someone sent me this video which makes it perfectly clear exactly what the term means. I would like to thank the FBI for the excellent example of it, and Ed Snowdon for the clarity on the issue.

HT ML.

Another excellent example of the term, Weasel Words”.

Notice how this phrase from Statistics Canada says: “Indirect impacts” when what they really refer to are the consequences of government policy implemented with the excuse of Covid. A brilliant example of Weasel Words.

  1. Why doesn’t anyone ever publish the total number of deaths period
    In each province for the last 10 years

    Not much difference in Alberta each year for these totals
