Social reality consists of negotiated facts. There are NO "unframed facts" because perception is active not passive and operates at levels of personal and social need.The only time we become aware of "adverse framing" is when our particular needs are not met. George Orwell said it all in "Animal Farm" and "1984",but only a minority of the population would ever understand these works as being more than works of fiction. Your concept of a hypothetical "citizenry comprehending the facts" is your framework, satisfying your needs.
