Framing political debate
October 28, 2003
If you wondered "how could anyone vote Arnold for Governor" then read this article by George Lakoff on the language of politics. I think this is a large part of the reason so many progressives and liberals are alienated by news and debate -- the questions are all framed from a conservative point of view, and if you control the language, you control the outcome.
