Z-Man has it.
...You see the power of narrative in this story about January 6th. It is about content creators suing for access to video of January 6th. “Without full public access to the complete historical record, there is concern that an ideologically-based narrative of an already polarizing event will take hold in the public consciousness, with destabilizing risks to the legitimacy of Congress, the Capitol Police, and the various federal investigations and prosecutions of Jan. 6 crimes.”
In other words, the claim here is that without the proper narrative, people may come to an unwanted conclusion about the events of that day. Most people would read that and think the content creators are afraid of having their lies exposed. That may be part of it, but the main reason for the letter is they think narrative is reality. They think Tucker Carlson will create a new narrative to supplant the old narrative, which is the reality in which all of them exist.
What we are seeing with our ruling class is they have come to think of their tall tales as reality, while reality itself is a conspiracy theory. In the case of January 6th, they think the insurrection story is real. In that story, cops were killed by an angry mob trying to overthrow the government. It is a conspiracy theory to point out that the only person killed was a white woman executed by a black man. The former is their reality, while reality is a reckless conspiracy theory....
That particular madness happens to infect nearly everyone in D.C. and mutatis mutandis in every State capitol and even in the city halls in Big Cities (e.g., NYC, LA, Chicago, St Louis, DC--we can go on).
It is precisely 'madness' here; a detachment from reality directly descended from the "Great Man" theory Z discusses: "I/We are great, therefore what we want to be real is real.'
Variants include the madness of Making the World Conform to Our Model (the war on Russia) and Making the Grunts Obey (the Vaxx.)
This will not end well for them.
