In a figurative sense, '''framing''' is often applied to arguments, political speech, and other agenda, where one person or the moderator creates a particular outcome by setting the question in a particular foundation.  This can be neutral, such as saying "Tonight's debate will focus on the Economy" or it can be a form of deceit by cornering the speaker into a position he or she does not agree with. "yes or no, have you stopped beating your wife yet" - the speaker who does NOT beat his wife cannot ever truthfully answer the question as framed.  This is a form of deceit.

'''Framing''' is also used in the legal context when referring to someone being '''framed''' for a crime. This means that the true criminal has set things up so that a different person (the person being '''framed''') is assumed to be guilty.
