Thunk: "The narrative machine is overloaded."
This means that some big emerging memes will essentially sneak through unengaged by the strategic communications crowd. For example, a Middle Eastern crisis or a breakup of the Eurozone can appear to burst on the narrative scene by surprise. It isnât really like no one was watching â the specialists and beat journalists will be watching them all along â but because the national leaders simply wonât have the talking points to deal with them. Ben Rhodes just cannot write speeches fast enough to cope. -- Belmont Club » Thunk
