Like clockwork, an American President in getting embroiled in a scandal, so there is a school shooting somewhere. This time the shooting is at a college three miles from where the President is staying. Three or Five or Seven dead, who knows? The media just puts a by-line and whatever the police tweet them. Drudge had a below-the-fold report on it Friday night, but it is gone now, the next day.
Drudge stayed with the scandal headlines, he did not switch to the schools shooting headlines. Saturday, one day after the Santa Monica murders, Drudge has no mention. And actually, why should we bother reading about the shooting. We already know the story, the guy was trained to kill by the military or some such, and the guy was on medication to get him to do things people do not normally do. He was under medical supervision, but to protect the government medical records are kept secret. He shot up a school because they are gun free zones, and the police formed a perimeter so at no point was any officer in any danger. Ho hum, same thing over and over.
What is different is Drudge is not distracted. He is sticking on the scandal, not the diversion. I wonder if he has permission to do this, and if so, who gave it. A fascinating moment in USA history.
