So, the only thing science has going for it, a precisely defined and definable vocabulary, will succumb to the rhetoric of marketing. Words will no longer mean anything. "Science", as in the magazine, will become "USA Today" or "Fox News". How sad.
No, there is no need to lie. When the Right wing frames, it has to lie and spin. With the truth on our side, we can frame without lying or spinning. But without framing, by hoping that truth on its own has the capability to change minds, we lose.
