In this chapter, you will read about various "frames" that shaped the purportedly objective coverage of Gray Davis's recall. If Lakoff is right, if there is no way to write a story without a frame, then objectivity is not only an ideal but an impossibly distant dream, something we shouldn't hope for or even consider. I'll give you two choices here:
(1) Agree with Lakoff and offer analysis of another article (another frame) as evidence in support of your agreement.
(2) Disagree with Lakogg and offer analysis of an objectively framed article as support of your argument.
