A Bit of a Hoot!

SEE HERE No Rush didn't get on Time. He just doesn't fit their narrative. I keep hearing this word "narrative" used in that sort of way to describe news. Now I think it's accurate, but sad too. A narrative is a constructed story. Now the story can be true or false, but to call a news story a "narrative" and to worry about its construction is to be spinning the story to achieve a particular purpose, i.e. to be agenda driven. The problem we have these days is too much agenda driven journalism. There was a time, nominally before 1960 when journalism was supposed to be about facts and interpretation, spin, and agendas were supposed to be limited to commentary. Now everything is agenda driven and you have to despin the news just to try to figure out what it is about and de-toxify it to get to a set of rock solid facts that might then be used to draw conclusions. The long and short of it is that Rush got the story right here. Don't hold your breath waiting for anyone to notice. It doesn't fit their narrative.
