That reminds me of my local newspaper. There are frequently headlines that refer to someone being arrested on "porn" charges. Then you read the article, and discover that the case was about child pornography.

Porn: legal
Child porn: illegal
Hacking: good
Cracking: not good

But no one at the paper cares, or perhaps they see an advantage in obscuring the issue.
