Hi there! I’m Adam Ringham.

In the post you’re referencing, I point out how media frames your perspective for you, turning information into a weapon for an agenda rather than a neutral lens. I specifically mention that:

  • Reporting often relies on artificial reference framing – choosing angles, comparisons, and baselines that nudge you toward a preselected conclusion
  • Even “data” like temperature readings can be skewed, for example by placing sensors near black tarmac at airports, which runs hotter than surrounding areas and can inflate reported temperatures

The broader observation is that when the frame is manipulated, the public perception of reality shifts—people react to the frame, not the full picture.

Would you like me to break down practical ways to spot this kind of framing in everyday news?
