Much of what we do as bloggers is fact-checking and logic-checking of prevailing political narratives, many of which are absurdly and dangerously wrong... and sussing out the morals of the stories.
It's not for nothing that one of the finest bloggers runs a site variously known as "Power of Narrative" and "Once upon a time...."
For a thoughtful post on such themes, see Ian Welsh's "Can't You See! Can't You See?" (inspired by Keith Johnstone's eye-opening book on theatrical improvisation, Impro):
So remember, look before categorizing. Don’t accept sloppy analogies, and always see if the characters in a storyline are acting the way they should.

Pulling at threads
You could also call it pulling at threads. If the sweater unravels, it wasn't made very well.
If all that bloggers did online was chatter about the easy stuff, how interesting and useful would that be? That is my main problem with the whole 11d chess argument. Yes, we know Rush Limbaugh is a big, fat, hypocritical, lying example of everything that is wrong with America. Check, got that, now can we discuss something that isn't so fucking obvious?
