UNEXPECTEDLY: The Nashville school shooting brings out the worst in our media.
ABC’s Terry Moran noted the passage of Tennessee’s legislation during his live report, as a possible and thus far speculative motive. New York Times and NBC News contributor Benjamin Ryan, in a since deleted tweet, noted that Nashville “is home to the Daily Wire, a hub of anti-trans activity by @MattWalshBlog, @BenShapiro and @MichaelJKnowles.”
Several other outlets, including NPR, the New York Times and USA Today took time to correct Nashville law enforcement for previously misgendering the mass shooter and not using “his” desired pronouns. Prior to the confirmation of the shooter’s identity, the Washington Post, also in a since deleted tweet, wrote “GOP congressman from Nashville district ‘heartbroken’ by shooting. A 2021 photo shows his family with firearms.”
This sorry display bears hallmarks of the reaction to the 2017 congressional baseball field shooting by James Hodgkinson, a Bernie Sanders campaign volunteer and avid MSNBC viewer. Shortly after that attack, host Joy Reid attempted to vilify House representative Steve Scalise as he was fighting for his life. “It’s a delicate thing because, obviously everybody is wishing the congressman well and hoping that he recovers. But Steve Scalise has a history that we’ve all been forced to sort of ignore on race.” The trope that coursed through the liberal media was that while the shooting was tragic, because of the politics of the people being shot at, they kind of deserved it.

EVS AND THE YUGOS OF THE 21ST CENTURY: Being a car guy and having covered the auto industry for the bigger part of my journalism career (1985 to 2010), I remember all too well when Yugos were imported into the U.S. They rapidly became jokes and disappeared from these shores because they so poorly designed and built.
Today, Issues & Insights explains why EVs are present era’s Yugos:
“Fast forward to today, and a new class of cars has a similar problem. A minor accident can cause a total loss, even if the car’s been driven only a few miles. The only difference is that these cars aren’t cheap imports from some godforsaken socialist state. These are state-of-art electric vehicles that come with an average sticker price of $55,000.
“Why are insurance companies totaling low-mileage EVs that have been in a fender bender? For the same reason you could total a new Yugo when backing out of a parking spot. The cost of repair is exorbitant.
“As Reuters reported recently, ‘For many electric vehicles, there is no way to repair or assess even slightly damaged battery packs after accidents,’ which means the only viable option is to replace the battery, which represents about half the cost of the car.”
More evidence for why, as I’ve said before, they will only be able to take my internal combustion-powered vehicle away from me when they pry my cold dead fingers off the steering wheel.
