YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS UP ! 🙂

Yesterday’s Kentucky Derby created several unintentionally ironic headlines. NPR —blissfully unaware of its own metaphor— ran with this beauty: “Sovereignty beats out favorite Journalism to win the Kentucky Derby.

Get it? Sovereignty beat Journalism. You can’t make this stuff up. I’m not sure whether it’s sports reporting or prophecy.

NPR did not report this. In an interview just after the race, Sovereignty’s jockey praised and thanked his Lord, Jesus Christ, for the win. So it was a double metaphor.

Pick either metaphor, as you prefer. But either way, I say: place your bets accordingly. Journalism may remain the favorite in the elite’s clubhouse, but Sovereignty’s making a run up the rail— and the gatekeepers are still arguing about pronouns in the paddock. Or words to that effect.

And maybe that’s the real story behind all today’s media malpractice —behind the blackout gaslighting, the Harvard capitulation cosplay, the low-gas-prices anxiety, and the refusal to even mention the possibility of planetary-scale forces at work. It’s not just media’s slipping narrative control, it’s a newfound narrative fragility. The kind of fragility that can’t survive a mild solar flare, a tiny magnetic wobble, or even just a well-timed question.

So it’s fitting that, while Europe went dark and journalists went quiet, the horse named Sovereignty surged ahead of Journalism on live television and won the Kentucky Derby. NPR reported it straight, bless their hearts, without a hint of self-awareness.

Journalism isn’t holding the reins anymore.
