A fair balance definition

A fair balance. : What that means? Drilling for oil in Alaska National Park? No, of course it doesn’t mean that, it means “exploring for energy”, as Luntz recommends saying. And he also recommends saying “American” instead of “domestic” source of energy. In his book, “Words that work: it's not what you say, it's what people hear”, he explains that he did that because “’drilling for oil’ reminds people of Jed Clampett shooting at the ground, conjuring images of liquid black gushing into the sky, and ‘domestic’ is to much of a financial term” (167), instead “’American energy sources’ has a more patriotic feel to it. Increasing exploration for American energy resources sounds energy-independent. One example of his exit on changing the words using is a survey that demonstrate that “exploring for energy in ANWR is 10 percent more popular than ‘drilling for oil’” (168).
