Reading the News Like a Rorschach Drawing
3rd April 2021
Today’s at the Capitol, a car crashed into a barrier, injuring two officers. The driver of the car got out with a knife, and was shot by authorities. I think. So I went to the Fox News website, to see what they know about all this. Not much, as it turns out, which is understandable – this just happened a couple hours ago. The news article did not identify the shooter, except to refer to him as “a lone wolf” which is generally media-speak for a devoted member of al-Qaeda or some other Muslim terrorist group. But perhaps not this time. Hard to say. I have no idea, of course. There are very few facts to be had, this early on.
