Well, it IS the Opinion Page, so don’t expect much. You don’t really need facts if you are just going to blame a vague “Narrative” boogeyman.
It’s a common excuse from people claiming to be censored: “I can’t say this or that because it ‘goes against The Narrative.’” OK, so tell us more about this shadowy narrative that’s hiding around every corner! Is The Narrative in the room with us right now?
