The Daily Whatever Show, Sept 8: Framing the Conversation with Shane Yirak
From understanding the Overton window to the Hot Dog Index
Huge thanks to Shane Yirak for joining Dana DuBois and me on The Daily Whatever Show this morning! We spoke about the way the conversation around all issues in this country get framed, and how that frame is often right-wing and biased against any left-leaning perspectives.
We spoke about the Overton Window, and Shane’s latest article:
Not to be missed, I brought up my friend Grey Galaxie’s recent note about hot dog prices, and we decided that the Hot Dog Index is a real thing we need to be talking about more. For real.
