English, democracy, diplomacy: politically correct ways to describe deception

Tutoring English, I love colorful phrases. The tutor shares a great one he noticed, with some commentary.

Era Diplomatic Description of Deceit
90s creativity w/ facts
20teens reality distortion field1

Nowadays, it seems, diplomacy is everything. The reason? I’d say it’s because democracy continues to grow. Even the truth, it seems, is “whatever people want it to be.”

In such a context, one must phrase a suggestion that the whole truth is lacking, in a creative, appealing way. After all, speaking from within a “reality distortion field,” the provider of the “incomplete truth” really isn’t responsible. Right?

HTH:)
