You can think what you like, but that's a deeply paranoid perspective. It's just normal light journalism. Context matters.
Oh, so now I’m paranoid! Sure, context matters and that’s exactly why this being out of context is negative framing at best; that’s not paranoid and it’s how media works, you can generate more clicks based on your headlines and thumbnails & that’s why things are framed certain ways.
Yes, paranoid. In this specific case, the station had already gone viral for being in the middle of nowhere. That was not an original framing by the author, it was an existing framing that they gave context for. If anything, their framing is positive, since they explained that while it looked bizarre, it had a rational explanation.
Maybe if they came up with the "middle of nowhere" framing themself, you'd have a point. But they didn't.
