Examines, ala the media watchgroup FAIR, three examples of how reporters frame the question in order to shift our perspective on the facts. One is a quote from Mark Hosenball, Special Correspondent for Newsweek, speaking on NPR's Talk of the Nation about the Inspector General's report on interrogation methods. Two is the winner of Survival International's Most Racist Article of the Year Award. Third is the defense of Van Jones in Ryan Witt's Political Buzz Examiner, saying that he was stupid but not evil.

Music: Autumn Project, Jason Mraz, Snow Patrol
Reads the poem, "Monet Refuses the Operation" by Lisel Mueller, to the music of Autumn Project with This We Take With Us. Describes the effect of myopia in my own formative years. Plays the Onion News Network's "Who Should Be Held Accountable for Minotaur Maze Interrogations?" Updates the indigenous Amazonian situation since the Bagua massacre, and the media war against them. This includes the editorial in a mainstream newspaper suggesting that the natives be bombed with napalm. Proposes that Van Jones, now that he's been heckled out as green jobs advisor, become the highest profile spokesperson the 911 truth movement has had, with all of us behind him...at the suggestion of Glenn Beck.
