When The Narrative Replaces The News

The massacres at three massage parlors in the Atlanta area this week, leaving eight human beings dead, others injured, and their families scarred, were horrifying. Read this deeply moving story about the son of one of the women killed to remind yourself of this. It’s brutal. The grief will spread and resonate some more.

But this story has also been deeply instructive about our national discourse and the state of the American mainstream and elite media. This story’s coverage is proof, it seems to me, that American journalists have officially abandoned the habit of attempting any kind of “objectivity” in reporting these stories. We are now in the enlightened social justice world of “moral clarity” and “narrative-shaping.”

Matt Gurney: China is a hostile state and Trudeau is out of excuses for his silence

It’s old news now, but the prime minister, back when he was simply leader of the third-place party in Parliament, infamously stepped in it by expressing admiration for China’s “basic dictatorship.” But now, to Justin Trudeau’s admiration of China’s government, he can add some gratitude. By announcing that the two Michaels, Kovrig and Spavor, will soon face trial on their trumped-up espionage charges, China has clarified things for Canada’s prime minister. China is a hostile state. We can treat it that way. Indeed, we must.
