Great point. The word "mural" implies artistic quality. It's not a mural. It's a fucking sign.

The mainstream media knows that painting bumper sticker slogans on public roadways are not murals, but they intentionally incorrectly use the term in an attempt to stifle pushback.

ABC news referred to painting over BLM graffiti as "destruction of an art installation".

Yes. I've always thought a mural had to be on a wall. I think it's even in the root of the word if I remember my 7th grade spanish (I don't as I skipped constantly).

SPEZ: Corectamundo! From the latin muralis.... "of a wall" https://www.etymonline.com/word/mural

Can’t believe they don’t support the border mural

Just how they use “racist” for anything they disagree with. Changing the meaning of words is their specialty

It isn’t on a wall, it isn’t art, it isn’t a mural. Communists have never understood definitions though.

They aren't doing anything "incorrectly", it's warfare, the information phase. Calling it "mistakes", "hypocrisy", and so on is a big mistake. Or a distraction, depending on who's doing it.

Communist slogans are not murals.

This particular communist slogan, when not immediately affirmed by a young White mother, was the cause of her murder.

Yet mayors have the communist political slogan painted on public taxpayer funded roads.

Yeah I don't see painting letters on the ground as a "mural". Now the sistine chapel, THAT's a mural

Mural

What they call it.

Graffiti

What it actually is.

The definition of the word that includes the word? I guess they could stretch it into there.

To that I'd ask for anyone to show me a single time in the past that any MSM outlet referred to painting letters on a public thoroughfare as a "mural".

Do you think if the Open America protests adopted this tactic that they would apply the same leeway?
