What a journalist is supposed to be called today
Well since modern journalists are opinionated and lazy and don't want to do real investigating journalism, we'll lets just call them narrative enforcer cuz they work for a private business and
" enforce" a narrative. The term first appeared on fox news.
A psychological condition where someone compulsively interprets their life through the lens of literary tropes and storytelling conventions, combined with an obsessive need to fill any gaps in their understanding with elaborate theories that fit these narrative patterns. Common symptoms include categorizing people as character archetypes, expecting plot twists, and creating complex explanations for simple events to avoid "plot holes" in their personal story.

Mjollniranism views narrative structures as blueprints for manipulating human communication through neural linguistic programming. Practitioners (Mjollnirians do not do such malicious activities) employ intricate storytelling techniques to exploit cognitive biases and drive desired outcomes. By crafting narratives that resonate with deep-seated desires and fears, they guide individuals toward predetermined responses. The approach involves dark psychology, linguistic programming, and strategic storytelling to exert covert influence. Villains seek control through linguistic cues and psychological anchors, ensuring the message is internalized. However, orchestrating these operations successfully requires rare intellectual caliber, often resulting in anticlimactic outcomes.
