Yeah, same style we see for jury presentations, political ads and news about a crash or other stuff

"routine training mission"
"the troubled new fighter"
"drastic budget cuts"
"unprecedented cost overruns"
"costliest ( insert whatever) in history"

Only problem I see is many folks who just voted in the U.S. and other places/times do not read newsprint and even less read multiple news sources on the 'net. Oh well....
=============
Grandkids here for our holiday got to see the two Space X launches and landings. A great lesson for them about what an entrepreneur can do without the majority of the cost paid by we proles. Not that Elon doesn't get some subsidies, but nowadays, he is getting paid by the customer and not launching a one-time rocket for a big government program. Besides, at 50 to 60 million $$$$ per lurch, nobody on Earth can come close. Hell, they are even offering "ride share" launches for small stuff at a coupla million $$. Takeoff two Starlinks and put the customer's doofers up front.
