Narrative is an invention of relativist philosophies that hold that man is incapable of knowing anything objectively. This subjective train of thought – personal opinion really – is dubbed “the narrative”, part of the postmodern personal universe in which thought creates reality. It’s a load of horse manure, but journalism has adopted it hook, line and sinker without ever having announced publicly that hence on objective reporting was no longer part of the narrative … if you get my drift. But if you don’t believe in forming opinions based on objective facts, what you do is try to influence people’s minds by manipulating their perception, voila the Obama campaign. The sooner we ditch this nonsense, the better the world will be off: it’s killing us.
