      anyone else have the vague sense that mainstream journo-political industrial complex is kind of not on the verge, but maybe on the verge of the verge of the verge of cracking up correct narrative delivery has felt really clunky lately

      think some of this sense comes from the backlash to the awful Provincetown reporting and the inability to get messaging right on that and then there was the eviction fuckup. how do you even spin that things just seem out of sync

      yeah but the implications were off like it think the spin was supposed to be "we need mandated lockdowns or masks or w/e because the vaccine is not working" but that clashed with the "everyone needs to be vaxxed NOW" project so people started yelling

      nah as always, it's just chaotic because things are confusing and people are incompetent; narratives form not from any coherent spin but spontaneously

      journos do the lemming thing, flocks form, like starlings it looks very planned but it's bottom up sometimes the data is so confusing nobody knows what's going on -i still don't, the situation on the ground is genuinely confusing

      sure. i feel like what eigen is saying is, okay, the murmuration had been swanning around smoothly for ages, forming the Yellow Sign on demand and everything, but now all i'm seeing is a raggedy ass bunch of birds, seems different

      doesn't seem much more chaotic than at other chaotic periods in the past year and a half to me vaguely reminiscent of last december with the uk variant, the data was pretty clear but the switch to 'oh fuck' took a bit because it was so surprising

          I think enough of them want to be in front of the story that it can go wild places, but that's been the case for the last year and a half

          I think Substack has had a meaningful impact in the same way YouTube and Twitch did for consumer media coverage. Suddenly *your brand* matters rather than your paper's and there's a way to leverage having an audience where editors work for you
