The Narrative Pipeline: How The Blob Operates
John A Konrad: The NYTimes, NPR, WaPo, CNN, and the rest don’t just react to news. They function as a distributed, decentralized mission command system for the Democratic Party and the broader Blob.
Step 1: Local Bureau Chiefs – These guys are stationed across the country, watching which stories gain traction and fielding calls from Dem operatives feeding them narratives.
Stories that they need to start controlling
Step 2: New York Editors – Bureau chiefs snip the news and send it to NY, where an editor triages it:
•Will this explode nationwide?
•Will it simmer for days?
•Or should we bury it?
Step 3: Editorial Meeting – The most concerning stories get flagged. Here, editors decide on the narrative framing and who to assign to write it.
But before they assign a journalist, they make one critical call — to the Deep State.
This is a super thread.

Tyson vs Netflix
I don’t know how long this is going to last, but as Netflix servers melt down, there’s a guy in the stands at the Paul vs Tyson fight, broadcasting live on X to 1.5M viewers. Now 2.8M, then to 5.5 and it looks like the streams have been pulled.
May be just as well, it doesn’t sound like things are going well for ol’ Mike. #paultyson

Asteroid Watch
MSNBC saw its audience crater on Thursday and Friday, just days after the left-of-center network beat CNN in election night ratings for the first time ever.
Thursday’s total average daily viewers on Fox News came in at 2.6 million and 375,000 in the coveted 25-54 age demographic, according to Nielsen data. Meanwhile, MSNBC brought in only 596,000 total viewers and 71,000 in the demo. CNN brought in 419,000 total viewers on Thursday and 91,000 viewers in the demo.
Fox News was up some 60 percent year over year for the day, while MSNBC and CNN were down 23 and 40 percent – respectively. In prime time the news was even more bleak for CNN and MSNBC as they shed 30 percent and 54 percent of their viewers, respectively, compared to the same day last year. MSNBC host Alex Wagner had her lowest-rated show ever in terms of total viewers, while Chris Hayes’s show brought in its worst numbers since May of 2016.
And that doesn’t factor in the audience boost from rubberneckers.

No. Next Question?
Is There a Joe Rogan for the Left?
New Narrative Creators
Despite repeated attempts to dismiss alternative media as inconsequential or shame viewers into abandoning it, the legacy media is finally waking up to the fact that average right-leaning Joe citizen has moved on. That act of moving on is now starting to pay dividends.
While Harris’s appearance on SNL the Saturday before the election has since been viewed on YouTube 10 million times, Rogan’s episodes with Trump, JD Vance, and top Trump ally Elon Musk in the week before the election earned a combined 73 million views on YouTube. Not to mention that each of those episodes ran for multiple hours and produced many shorter clips that had their own viral trajectories. In the new economy of influence, these clips possibly helped persuade or fire up more voters than that highly coveted Taylor Swift endorsement.
Rogan With JD Vance
With the helpful assistance of Youtube, the Rogan interview with Trump has reached an estimated 100 million views: Meanwhile, Kamala’s Call Her Daddy podcast appearance has only 750,000…
