Rolling Stone: Whatever You Do, Don’t Call Massacres ‘Evil’
When atrocities like the Parkland shooting happen, calling evil “evil” offends Rolling Stone’s Jesse Berney. “Evil,” he wrote after the Las Vegas shooting (Rolling Stone recycled the piece for the latest horror), is a “fantasy” the human mind turns to because “It’s comforting to ascribe an external, unknowable motive to events so terrible we can't imagine a motivation.” And anyway, “What if evil…
ABC, WashPost Dislike Poll Result on Mental Health vs. Gun Control
On Tuesday, The Washington Post reported its new ABC News-Washington Post poll on mass shootings on the front page.

CNN, MSNBC Push Debunked Poll 97% Support 'Universal Background Check'
Over the past few days, CNN and MSNBC have again been peddling a discredited poll finding that about 90 percent of Americans -- this time from Quinnipiac with a tally of 97 percent -- supporting the adoption of laws to require background checks for all gun purchases.

Will Automation Kill Our Jobs?
A recent article in The Guardian dons the foreboding title "Robots will destroy our jobs -- and we're not ready for it." The article claims, "For every job created by robotic automation, several more will be eliminated entirely. ... This disruption will have a devastating impact on our workforce."
