"We are in a terrible new world. Our country is under the control of a madman who is doing heinous things, and the mainstream media has been waay too slow to discard their mannered norms in the face of that existential threat. The Reiner case is both obviously off point and absolutely on point.

The Unbearable Politeness of Being the MSM

About midnight last night, we learned from The New York Times, and a little later from The Washington Post, that film director Rob Reiner and his wife had been found dead in their Los Angeles home, apparently a double homicide.

A horrible end to a terrible weekend.

"The sick mind that, without our increasingly loosened guard rails, would conjure up a gulag or wherever autocrats like him send those they hate, usually without any real basis.

Julie Roginsky comments on Trump's psychopathic, cruel, amoral response to the Reiners' murder by saying,

"The president of the United States is a psychopath. This is not about his policies — although lord knows, they will kill millions of people before he is through.

This is about Donald Trump himself — the putrid, malignant soul that occupies his broken-down body."

And the media is complicit

"Meanwhile, many major media companies do not have Trump’s vile post on their front page news coverage, and when they do, it is sanitized to normalize this behavior."
