A man gets on the train. And something happened.

It’s a local crime story. It’s got no legs. No interest to a national audience, right?

The media have a narrative. Not a story. A narrative. It’s different.

Remember Kermit Gosnell? The doctor. The butcher. They called it a local crime story. A local crime. A doctor who killed babies. That’s a local crime. That’s not a national story. Not a national narrative. You know why? Because it didn’t fit the narrative. It wasn’t about what they wanted it to be about. The narrative had no room for it. It would have clogged the plumbing. So they flushed it. A local crime. A local man. A local story.

They’re not journalists. They’re salesmen. Pitching a vision. Not a vision of what is, but a vision of what they want you to believe is. The good guys. The bad guys. The victims. The villains. All pre-selected. All with a role to play. The narrative is the thing. The narrative is the product. The truth? The truth is just static. A distraction. A glitch in the machine. A local crime story.

They tell you what to see. Not what’s there.

A young Ukrainian girl was killed by a black man on the train. That’s not national news. The black man didn’t know her. He called her a “white bitch.” Local crime story. The killer had been released by several judges after several violent felonies. Ignore it.

They call it the news. What is it? You see it. You hear it. It’s a thing. It’s an event. A thing happened.

But that’s not what it is. Not anymore.

We can’t be trusted with what happened because we might realize something. We might demand something. The elites in charge are too worried about our reaction so they relegate the truth to local crime story.

It’s not about what happened. Never was. It’s about what it means. What it’s supposed to mean. Who it’s supposed to mean it to.

The question is, they’re not serving the people. Who are they serving?
