There is an effort to police a frame around the president’s son. The effort is on the right.
There’s a simple reason this has gained traction. The allegation is difficult to disprove and easy to insinuate, as have been so many allegations in the past. This particular allegation, though, is also powered by a media-elite narrative of the type often disparaged by the right — but in this case, it’s the right that’s powering it.This was made obvious to me last week when an interview I’d given got an unexpected — and dishonest — level of attention.
Such things become self-fulfilling, with the rhetoric powering the belief and the belief rewarding the rhetoric. The result is an environment in which the competition for attention centers on overhyping new developments, on being the one to identify the most recent smoking gun or to contextualize something in the most favorable light possible for what is already believed.The parallels to the right’s presentation of the Russia investigation are obvious.
