Why Framing Is So Important
Remember our favorite Spokane "alleged" pedophile? The guy who's the town's Republican mayor? Well, AOL is on the case, fronting the story -- but NOT as a pedophilia case. Instead, it's framed as "Oh, that poor Mayor! Those evil liberal media types violated his privacy! They could do that to you, too!" and with not a mention of his raping underage boys. (In other words, it's exactly how they treated the outing of White House press corps member (and right-wing stooge) James "Jeff Gannon" Guckert as a $200-an-hour male prostitute.) Check it out.I only WISH I were kidding.
