About this listen
We know why we feel the way we do about certain political issues, don't we? Don't we??
It turns out that politicians, political strategists, and the media are working every day to alter what we think about something before we know we're thinking about it. And the way this is done is through "framing."
So what is framing? How long have people been doing it? And most importantly, how can we push back against it? Taking us through the Frame Wars is Dr. Jennifer Mercieca, professor of communication and author of Demagogue for President: The Rhetorical Genius of Donald Trump.
For those who want to know more, check out our episode on Propaganda, as well as Jen's article on Frame Warfare.
