Le Monde: Scheherazade in the White House

This is just an extra article that I found, but it seemed very relevant to our recent discussions about framing. While the idea of framing is probably not new to any of us, the ways in which it is used can be surprising. This particular story gave a few examples of how Hollywood is being used by the White House. It seems like an interesting mix at first, but I was quite shocked at the lengths some of our recent presidents have taken to associate themselves with various cultural icons or values.
