Fun with Semantics at ThinkProgress | NewsReal Blog: "Semantics–the study of meanings and interpretation of meanings-can be fun. Take, for example, the liberal blog ThinkProgress. On its website, the blog proudly touts that it is “a project of the Center for American Progress Action Fund. The Center for American Progress Action Fund is a nonpartisan organization.” Yet, in the very next paragraph, they trumpet being named one of the “Best Liberal Blogs” as an accomplishment.
So how can the CAP run a hard-core leftist blog (and one that is decidedly partisan in favor of anyone with a D in front of their name) and still maintain that it’s “nonpartisan.” Semantics, my friends. All just semantics. All a matter of how you define partisan, and how you define who “own” and “runs” what site."
