they were not trapped or stranded... they were re-scheduled.
This sort of shit happens a lot. the whole "stranded" wordage is being repeated by the MSM seemingly at the behest of the Trump administration and associated cronies.
You're over-correcting and understating. "Nothing to see here" is not how we describe 8 days turning into 9 months.
Don't be angry about hype. Everyone has access to what the astronauts say themselves. In this case, their remarks have been ambiguous, probably because they don't want to be drawn into a shit-storm. They didn't want to be "victims" in any way, so they were not "stranded". But their Boeing shuttle did suffer problems, and that isn't nothing, nor is it a "scheduling issue".
End of the day, it was great to see the parachutes open. Health complications can arise for astronauts stuck in space that long. Their return was overdue to the point of being concerning for most people. Fair?
Weaponizing language is old news in politics. The US have been doing it since before I was born and so have everyone else. It's pretty much what politics is.
If you find you're suddenly offended by the words of the clown class you're likely to have been massively partisan to the last in-charge circus-troupe
