Stenographialism

So I talked to a reporter from one of the major legal news journals in the United States this afternoon. She seemed completely unaware that, sometimes, people have self-serving reasons to misrepresent the facts, stretch the truth, let alone lie. And here I thought journos were supposed to be skeptical, even cynical.

And that's your first new word for 2012.

And, just to be clear, I wasn't misrepresenting the facts, stretching the truth, or lying. I was bringing the knowledge. As the kids were saying 10 years ago. (15?)
