It seems like there\u2019s a mass shooting every other day, to the point where some aren\u2019t covered and others get a day or two of media attention before they\u2019re eclipsed by other news.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s also striking is that the deranged loners who had no ties to outside groups, whose families say they had no interest in politics<\/a>, suddenly decide to pursue their grievances and open fire, even at schools. They have access to guns and turn into monsters, often getting themselves killed, or killing themselves, in the process.\u00a0<\/p>\n

MICHIGAN CHURCH SHOOTER’S ROMANCE HISTORY EMERGES AS SUSPECT’S FATHER APOLOGIZES TO VICTIMS’ FAMILIES<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This applies to the Mormon Church shooter<\/a> and arsonist in Michigan, who never got over a breakup with a devout Mormon a decade ago, felt pressure to join the church and started calling it the Antichrist. Some shooters have served in the military.<\/p>\n

And that, with stunning speed, brings us to the blame game. Both the Trump Republicans<\/a> and the Democrats rush to attack the other side, even before we know much about the shooter, who by any reasonable definition is clinically insane.<\/p>\n

Jon Stewart<\/a> had a rant the other night which I mostly agree with:<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s a mass shooting now like every couple of hours. Previously, the routine would be we express our shock; we express our sadness; we offer our thoughts and prayers; we spend a day, maybe two, arguing about the appropriateness of bringing up guns at all; and then we do nothing until the next time. But as our politics becomes more polarized, even that learned cycle of helplessness has been replaced by a new, post-shooting<\/a> pastime. That new pastime is, \u2018Was this one of yours?'” After playing clips of conservative and liberal shows, Stewart said: “The game is so ubiquitous, now we often play it before we even know who the perpetrator is \u2026 Now call me old-fashioned, but I miss the good old days of mass shootings when networks took a principled stance to not shower attention on acts designed to get attention.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

SECOND DETAINEE DIES AFTER DALLAS ICE FACILITY SNIPER ATTACK, FAMILY SPEAKS OUT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The “Daily Show” host says the MSM are following the lead of social media, and the left got to celebrate when the late killer had a Trump\/Vance sign in front of his house.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Who the f*** cares? These mass shootings do not fit neatly into our left-right paradigm.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now I agree that the media are narcissistic, but that\u2019s not what\u2019s at play here. And the reason I never talk or write about these lunatics by name is to avoid giving them the notoriety they crave. We\u2019ve forgotten the names of most of the shooters \u00a0\u2014 even that of the second would \u2014 be assassin who was ready to fire at President Trump<\/a> last year \u2014 and they should all be anonymously condemned to the dustbin of history.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

But there is a left-right paradigm that, honestly, is the foundation of much of the media, especially cable news. It\u2019s what we know. It\u2019s what we do.<\/p>\n

FROM AOC TO ZOHRAN MAMDANI, THE DEMOCRATS ARE PEDDLING FAR-LEFT POLITICS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Most of the recent political violence<\/a> is coming from the left, no question about it. Yet liberals seem unsure what to do about it, with rote statements that try to deflect liability. They\u2019re almost defending the worst of the worst.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why they were buoyant over the Michigan shooter who rooted for Trump and Vance \u2013 to remind people that there are also political shootings from the right wing.<\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s conservatives playing defense \u2013 as if shooting and setting fire to a Mormon church service<\/a> wasn\u2019t horrifying enough, killing at least four people and wounding eight.<\/p>\n

“Why are we taking the bait from these psychos?” Stewart asks.<\/p>\n

But the montage of clips he played don\u2019t feature pundits; they show lawmakers and other leaders being interviewed. Which is part of what the media do to cover an ongoing story, at least as long as it stays in the news.<\/p>\n

We keep falling into the trap. Finger-pointing often crowds out reporting of each tragedy. Maybe we\u2019ve all become inured to it now that mass shootings are so tragically commonplace.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Footnote<\/strong>: While the Washington punditocracy has been trashing <\/i>Kamala Harris\u2019<\/i><\/a> book tour as hurting Democrats and reminding them of <\/i>Joe Biden\u2019s<\/i><\/a> decline, sales of the book are another story. Simon & Schuster says she has sold 350,000 copies so far, and has ordered a fifth printing to bring the total to 500,000. The publisher predicts it will be the best-selling memoir of 2025. So despite the slings and arrows, she\u2019s laughing all the way to the bank.\u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
