This is similar to what was discussed on one of the US news
channels yesterday.
When on-air, It was stated that News people need to use a grade 8
vocabulary in order to reach their max audience.
The analysts stated Donald Trump has been using a grade 4
vocabulary i.e. very, very simple language (I am a winner, I am
great, name calling, you are a loser, high level generalities
like NAFTA is bad without any specific references to what parts
are bad) to reach his base audience.
Interesting times.
