Also (a lot off topic, a few months old, but in the news today), one
countries torture is another countries Waterboarding..

From the early 1930s until the modern story broke in 2004, the
newspapers that covered waterboarding almost uniformly called the
practice torture or implied it was torture: The New York Times
characterized it thus in 81.5% (44 of 54) of articles on the subject
and The Los Angeles Times did so in 96.3% of articles (26 of 27). By
contrast, from 2002‐2008, the studied newspapers almost never referred
to waterboarding as torture. The New York Times called waterboarding
torture or implied it was torture in just 2 of 143 articles (1.4%).

Totally. We should add 'purposefully out of context' to Wil Andersons
regime of jokes which mostly are: about 'bogans' and/or plagiarised
and/or just plain old not funny.
