On this Friday edition of The Editors, Rich, Charlie, and MBD are appalled at the skewed media coverage in the wake of the horrific shooting at a Christian school in Nashville.
Charlie doesn’t think he’s “ever seen an incident such as this one in which the perpetrator has been treated, reflexively, as if she were the victim. It seems to me that the press just writes the same thing, whatever happens. If a Christian had killed six transgender people, what would look different about the headlines in media segments that we’ve seen? . . . I can’t move for pieces about how this has ‘sent a chill through the transgender community.’ I have seen precisely zero pieces about how this has and should have scared Christian children.
