The Culture of Enhancement

The adoption by journalist to the phrase "EIT" is the clearest evidence of bullshit objectivity.

Is it true that George W. Bush became President through Enhanced Vote Counting Techniques?

And I suppose that Enron was using Enhanced Accounting Techniques to keep its books.

In general, when you're with the 1% you can Enhance your way to fame and fortune. Occupy the Enhancers!

And, you guessed it, BP was using Enhanced Drilling Techniques in the Gulf and they just got out of control.

The persistent use of “enhanced interrogation techniques” newspeak says it all to me.

And then there's the Enhanced Recovery Techniques that FEMA perfected after Katrina. 

The Bush Administration: Enhancement you could count on!

What? You say it's not rape, but Enhanced Sexual Congress?

Fox News, Enhanced Truthiness is our business.

Seriously, fellow members of the press: do NOT go along with this Orwell newspeak formulation of “EITs.” They can say it. We don’t have to.
