The WaPo's weird coverage of a massacre

 Thomas Lifson:

The headline that appeared at the top of the following tweet from the Washington Post, about the massacre in Waukesha, Wisconsin, appeared to have been written by the Babylon Bee.  What you see is a screen grab saved by a blogger who writes under the title "Dan from Squirrel Hills' Blog" because the WaPo is still (barely) capable of shame and took it down.

The "tragedy" (not "attack") was caused by the SUV.  

Forget about blaming Darrell Brooks; he's a Black man and therefore cannot be blamed for anything he does.  Apparently, the WaPo has such contempt for African Americans that they have no personal agency.  They are merely the accompaniment to the actions of the machines they use.  The machines are the responsible party.  How dehumanizing is that!

This vanished tweet is not some troll making fun of the WaPo.  It is real.

...

Liberals have a hard time reporting when crimes do not fit their preferred narrative.

Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
