59. Ah, that link.

The link that has somebody saying something that isn't really all that clear, until it has the right frame.

Then the frame dictates what the speakers meant.

It's like in Spiderman cartoons, where the newspaper shows a picture of Spidey doing something out of context and labels it a crime. But in context he's fighting bad guys. The reader sees the picture and assumes that "crime" is what is being shown--it's proven that Spidey is a criminal. Thing is, the picture shows nothing of the sort. Instead it's the caption, the interpretation placed on it, that slithers into the reader's mind and conveys all the information that the reader attributes to the picture.

Doesn't matter that the editor believes he's correct. He's not lying; he's just grasping for straws to support what he desperately believes to be true.
