From the 'Glorious Revolution,' (and the 'Immortal Seven'), to the 'Nazis,' to 'White Supremacy,' to 'Anti-Semitism,' to 'Far Right,' to 'Holocaust/Climate Change Denialist,' to 'Dreamers,' etc. etc.
This linguistic trickery - using control of organs of mass influence to introduce weaponized linguistics into mass consciousness - seems to be a very common tactic of this tribe.
Weaponized language like this, used repeatedly, plants an understanding in the target's subconscious mind, without them being consciously aware of it, and without raising the attention of any 'fact checkers.'
It's one way 'journalists' can deceive and manipulate without being overtly untruthful, and thus retaining the patina of 'reputability.'
There are others, which is worthy of a post of its own.
