I don’t think Steyn would’ve said it unless he’d heard reports to that effect. We have mini-tyrants in every location these days. A big fair might not have been shut down, but who knows what goes on in smaller venues.

It’s like the ‘pet eating’ reports out of Ohio. Some folks say it’s happening, others say it isn’t. Who to believe? I’ll go with Steyn.

Steyn, like a lot of people, sees a single story in some comment or on X and they take it as “real.”

That is dangerous. I usually like the guy, but in this case he is simply trying to evoke anger in people. That’s what is wrong with “commentary” being presented as if its news.

We see a lot of articles where the headline reads “X is happening in state Y” where state Y has ten million people and X is happening in one location where ten people congregate.

It is a bit irritating.
