Check out BagNewsNotes on framing images. Most of the framing talk -- particularly Matt Bai's old-news article about Lakoff -- tends to twirl around the same old block, saying what we heard before but louder. The idea that you can lose on visual cues as surely as aural ones, though, hadn't occurred to me, but after seeing Bag's post, I'm convinced we're probably doing it. Definitely worth a read.
