This is just a short-answer space. Generally, Spoony means that the public must know Rashad's side of the story first and the media must not forget it. Controlling the narrative means controlling the message the public gets before it is distorted by outside interests. Rashad needs to be seen for who he really is and what really happened before the story gets corrupted by people who want to change it.
