Deconstruction Watch II

Misused in an article about, well, I'm not totally sure, but the words postmodernism and semiotics are used in relation to meta-analysis of the media's coverage of the election:

Are the great American habits of directness, foursquare honesty, and a hearty handshake being undermined by fancy-pants French critical theory? You betcha! From the Obama-McCain struggle to find the proper meta-analysis of the word celebrity to the deconstruction of the mainstream media's treatment of John Edwards, from the "framing" and "repackaging" of political constructs to the rise of identity politics for white people, the trend is clear: We are all postmodernists now.
Again, deconstruction is not a synonym for "unpacking".
