Please keep your eyes open in the future to the media also using these terms. For example, every single time a peaceful protest gets pushed by the police into going violent. See how the media uses extremely charged verbiage during those situations.

Or how about every single time China or North Korea or Russia is brought up. No matter what the news story is about, they will always be labeled the bad guys. And sometimes they are, but sometimes they're not.

Notice how the media will always talk about their "regimes" compare to our "government", their "worker camps" vs our "prisons". By the way our prisons also do force labor, and also torture people. How come our prisons aren't worker camps? Or torture camps?

You're going to see this if you keep watching osely, Communists have been talking about politically charged rhetoric for a very long time. We started calling out the government for using biased language long ago. See: Michael Parenti, for starters.
