I tried not to frame it in my post.

This is a staple of Fox News right up there with “some people are saying”. They tell the viewer what they are about to see or hear. It’s very effective. Regardless of the actual content, they’ve framed it in the audience’s minds and then come back after to confirm how they had framed it.
