People see “framed” facts hammed down their gullet for so long, accept this, be ok with that, this is the new normal even if it’s only “because we say so”, that when an other option is presented, and one isn’t ordered to “accept this because…” it resonates.

Surely you realize this.

I hope you appreciate the irony of your white-hot rage against framing, and the contrast of you saying:

Why aren't you just stating the facts and letting parent decide? I don't think you are against providing relevant context (i.e. "framing"), you just have a bee in a bonnet about ... something - journalism as practiced today perhaps, but that has very little to to with the topic at thr root if the thread - until you reframed the discussion to be about journalism.

Naw, I’m not mad at all. Sorry I came off that way.

I must have made my point poorly, sorry I wasted your time.
