Whatever narrative seemingly works best! ;-)
And the moment, I'm mildly fascinated with how we sometimes speak of getting on *top* of the news, and that a *top* is a toy that spins, creating a weak - yet undeniable - association between news and spin. I can become downright "linguistics conspiracist" about non-standard connections between words at times....
On top of the news sounds like an awful place to be.
I'm quite happy down here.
