Platitudes are nothing new in our societal milieu. Clichés, phrases and words of self-help advice have been heard plenty, but it’s when we hear them that makes the difference between standing down or taking action. “John Doe” is not telling the radio-listening citizens anything revolutionary when bellowing baseball analogies like, “We can’t win the old ball game unless we have teamwork!” No matter how hackneyed or revolutionary the sentiment, amplification in the media, which frames how information is consumed, can be…
