This is a good example of the power of #language to reframe positions.
#GeorgeLakoff would be proud.

Occasionally, Trump delivers a line that helps summarize his political troubles. Take this gem, for example: “You know, they have this new word called ‘affordability.’” https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/trump-makes-overdue-discovery-new-word-called-affordability-rcna242345
Tempted to buy a used hardcover copy of Moral Politics by #GeorgeLakoff so I can smack liberals over the head with it when they are futilely making Nurturant Parent arguments at people who are operating exclusively within a Strict Father cognitive framing.

Absolut erstaunlich, dass eine der simpelsten Arten, mit Fake News umzugehen so gut wie keine Anwendung findet.
Dabei sind Überschriften und erste Absätze enorm wichtig, denn da muss das Wahrheits-Sandwich beginnen.
EDIT / EN:
One of the easiest ways reacting to Fake News — The Truth Sandwich — is rarely used, which boggles the mind.
Headlines and first paragraphs are especially important, because the Truth Sandwich has to start there.

Starting tomorrow, the #zone will be flooded with tremendous amounts of 💩, again, and the #media will fail to ignore it, again.
If you can't resist the urge to comment, remember #GeorgeLakoff's "#TruthSandwich":
Always present the truth first, in context. No justifications, no defense, no questioning: Don't let step 2. spill over into this.
Only then, briefly mention the piece of misinformation (bullshit), disinformation (lies), or malinformation (mangled context) that is making headlines. Use reported speech, and label the piece as incorrect, made up, or taken out of context.
Close with another spoonful of truth.
Stop at 1., if you can manage to.
Hurt people hurt people.
But also, the moral politics of #GeorgeLakoff explains a lot.
