A Brief Reflection on Narrative

          Last week a gaming culture and media site did something every agency dreads. It broke narrative. I will not go into the specifics of the event, but I will use it as a way to jump into this commentary. Narrative is the story that news agencies want to tell you, or make you believe. Different news agencies have different narratives depending on which politician their sponsors have bought. Both left, and right wing news agencies do this. The events they choose to report on and filtered down to only those that fit their narrative, then they use dishonest rhetoric to sell it even further. The result being that unless you diversify your media intake between stations representing multiple interests, foreign and domestic, you're only being feed one sided propaganda. 

          Of course, nothing really matters. Huff Po, Fox, and MSNBC are the worst. None of us owes anyone else anything, and we all have to die someday. - Cheers
