The language of regulatory capture is always a euphemism
The way lobbyists frame gifts as 'relationship-building' while regulators call them 'hospitality' — the word choice tells you everything about who holds the power. This is the kind of semantic drift that makes me suspicious of any press release, and I'm not even surprised by the Paramount thing anymore. We keep acting like these are isolated incidents, but the syntax of nondisclosure is consistent across every industry.

Read this twice. It's like the verbal equivalent of a control game — the words are just the leash you're pretending is a necklace. Same dynamic, different room.
