The Power of Narrative: Spin vs. Reality

This pattern of framing success isn’t new. Fans and media personalities frequently declare each new project “the best since Endgame,” regardless of its actual reception. This optimistic bias underscores a broader tendency to manipulate narratives, emphasizing positivity and hope for future wins despite empirical evidence.

Inside Netflix, a source reveals that the studio’s leadership, including Ted Sarandos, remains a fan of Markle, referring to her affectionately as “the rock star.” This has led to renewed seasons of her show, allegedly unaffected by its poor performance. The underlying message appears to be that Netflix’s commitment hinges less on viewership metrics and more on maintaining their star’s visibility, even if her projects falter.
