    As you may have heard, on Friday night there was a mass shooting in Austin, Texas, in the Sixth Street entertainment district.

    Fourteen people were shot; as of this writing, one has died.

    This apparently wasn’t one of those loser-shoots-up-his-school mass shootings, but one of the more common shootings involving “some kind of disturbance between two parties,” as the police put it.

    So the shooter didn’t kill himself or wait around for the police and force them into shooting him.

    He fled, and the police, naturally, put out a description of him.

    The Austin American-Statesman, the local daily, refused to publish that description. Instead, it put this editor’s note at the end of its report:

    Editor’s note: Police have only released a vague description of the suspected shooter as of Saturday morning. The American-Statesman is not including the description as it is too vague at this time to be useful in identifying the shooter and such publication could be harmful in perpetuating stereotypes. If more detailed information is released, we will update our reporting.

    Some of you will have guessed that this “vague description” did not involve a MAGA hat or a Confederate-flag T-shirt.

    In fact, the description put out by the police was that of a black man with a skinny build and dreadlocks.

    Vague? Black men compose about 4 percent of the population of Travis County.

    Skinny black men with dreadlocks (or braids — witnesses sometimes say one when they mean the other) make up an even smaller share of the population.

    In a county of 1.3 million people, eliminating 96 percent or 99 percent of the population is useful.

    A suspect, a minor, was arrested over the weekend. A second suspect remains at large as of this writing. The local newspaper won’t tell you the relevant information about him, either.

    The Statesman here is following a lamentable precedent. The worst episode — the one that stands out most in my mind — involved a cover story in the Philadelphia Daily News, one of those spirited democratic tabloids of which the New York Post is the platonic ideal.

    Philadelphia was suffering a crime wave with an elevated number of murders, and so the Daily News published an interesting piece about the shocking number of fugitives wanted on murder charges who remained at large.

    The cover contained mugshots of all the current fugitives, all of whom were men and none of whom was white.

    The predictable uproar ensued, and the editors of the Daily News allowed themselves to be bullied into publishing an apology for acknowledging the facts. It was one of the all-time-low moments in modern American journalism, one that emboldened practitioners of the now-familiar mob-rule model of media management. Shameful stuff.

    Illegal to own, perhaps not, difficult to obtain, yes, all about access, and currently, there exists little to prevent such

    Default Jeffrey Toobin, the ‘1619 Project’ and the Journalistic Reign of Error

    As long as you further the narrative, no bad behavior or corruption of the truth will go unrewarded.

    If it’s true that to err is human and to forgive divine, then the people who control our media must be the gods they believe themselves to be.

    These days proliferating lapses in journalists’ judgment and standards are not simply forgiven by the editorial establishment.

    They are rewarded.

    As long as they are the right kind of error by the right kind of person.

    Even if Jeffrey Toobin is in fact the indispensable legal mind CNN evidently believes he is, his reinstatement last week must surely fill some of his colleagues with misgivings.

    “Who’s Zoomin’ Who?” the great Aretha Franklin once asked. It’s a valid question that may take new form in the minds of participants in future video calls with the easily distracted Mr. Toobin.

    But his restoration to a more salubrious on-camera role is a helpful reminder of the rules that now govern news.

    The medium is no longer the message: The new reality is that the mission is the message.

    As long as your work furthers the mission, no failure in behavior, no error in reporting or editing, no corruption of the truth or the evidence will go unrewarded.

    All data and facts, all judgment about stories and the people who produce them, are subordinate to the mission. In one of the more ironic developments of this age of progressive hegemony, this is called “moral clarity.”

    As CNN was being restored to its full complement of progressive missionaries, the same message in service of the same mission was more powerfully conveyed by the authorities who every year emerge from the temples of Columbia University to bestow on another crop of journalists the mantle of Joseph Pulitzer.

    The steady conversion of these “prestigious” awards into Hero of the Soviet Union-like ribbons for full-time advocacy of approved causes was nearly complete this year, with almost all the prizes in journalism and literature going to works that fit within the approved range of writing, which now seems to run all the way from economic and racial inequity through the legacy of white supremacy to racist policing methods.

    Last year the Pulitzer judges decreed that facts, as witnessed by documentary historical evidence, were subordinate to the mission when they honored the New York Times’s “1619 Project.”

    This year they expanded the definition of journalism by awarding a special citation to a citizen bystander who captured the death of George Floyd on her smartphone.

    Next year, who knows?

    If you can scribble some quick thoughts about white privilege on the back of a paper napkin, be sure to send it off to the Pulitzer Board, Columbia University, New York, N.Y.

    Early Saturday morning, a gunman shot and injured at least 19 people outside an Austin, Texas, bar.

    But the city’s flagship newspaper, the leftist Austin-American Statesman, refused to release the description of the suspect, a dangerous mass shooter who was still on the run, because—you guessed it—it would be racist.

    The newspaper white-splained in an Editor’s Note appended to its main story on the shooting:

    Editor’s note: Police have only released a vague description of the suspected shooter as of Saturday morning. The Austin American-Statesman is not including the description as it is too vague at this time to be useful in identifying the shooter and such publication could be harmful in perpetuating stereotypes. If more detailed information is released, we will update our reporting.

    The description circulated by police was not, by any stretch of the imagination, “vague.”

    The description, in fact, dramatically reduced the suspect pool in the Austin area, narrowing it down to black males wearing dreadlocks.

    If you’re a police officer (or a citizen at risk from an at-large criminal) wouldn’t you want to know that information?

    And then there’s this bit from the newspaper’s report: “Police said they had zeroed in on two suspects involved in [a] previous dispute and were rapidly working to arrest them.”

    In other words, the Statesman knew that the police knew who the suspects were.

    If the police said the suspects were black, why didn’t the newspaper take the police department at its word?

    I’ll tell you why: the Statesman wants to perpetuate the fictional narrative that dangerous, gun-toting white supremacist rednecks are roaming the city of Austin, hunting black people.

    The Statesman would have us believe that everyone in the Austin area was a potential suspect, when, in fact, the newspaper knew that not to be true. (On a related note, the same public safety issues arise when no one knows whether a suspect is a male or a female because assuming someone’s gender might result in hurt feelings.)

    Austin is not alone in prioritizing the woke agenda over safety.

    San Francisco police released the picture of a black suspect who lit a woman on fire on a BART train, but blurred out the assailant's face, purportedly to avoid perpetuating racial stereotypes.

    Austin and other U.S. cities continue to demonstrate that they care more about being woke than protecting the public from dangerous criminals.

    Dude- Just because we have laws, do you think any law prevents them from being broken?

    Laws cannot prevent crime- BUT THEY SURE DO HAVE A deterring EFFECT DON'T THEY?

    The good news is that they're mostly killing their own constituents.
