Her Wikipedia entry states that she formerly worked for an outfit funded by the Heritage Foundation, and now Sinclair. She also is involved in anti-vaccine reporting and tries to link autism to vaccines. So sounds more like the pot calling

I'm not exactly sure what you are arguing. You asked us to give you examples of frameworks based on your criteria ... which just about anything will meet these days.
