And So It Begins
“Mr. Boehner is known as an avid golfer, a sharp dresser and a regular smoker.”
The caption under a photo of John Boehner in the NYT. The NYT is very subtle using well chosen captions and pictures knowing that few people actually read the article. Code words like ‘golfer’, sharp dresser, and smoker, freeze-frame the persona they wish to project onto the next Speaker of the House, hoping that the ‘small people’ will view Boehner as a showy, shallow conservative who smokes and plays an elitist game while the poor people struggle.
