words - do they really matter?

It is not a 1% drop in (GDP) growth, it is a 1% drop in total (GDP)

A 1% drop in growth would mean that if growth was 5% then a 1% drop in this growth, 0.005% of this, would mean that we were still growing at 4.995%

Words, are they important? If you are passing off highly partisan political narrative as news, not really. Thats modern journalism folks. Why bother with it?
