[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content]If you’ve been paying attention to the tragic case of the shooting of young Ralph Yarl — and politics over the past few years — you may not be too surprised by the latest development.
For those who haven’t been following, last Thursday night the 16-year-old was supposed to be picking up his younger brothers from their friend’s house but went to the wrong Kansas City, Missouri address by accident. When he rang the doorbell, the homeowner, 84-year-old Andrew Lester, apparently freaked out, opened the inner door, and shot the honor roll student in the head, right through the glass outer door. Then he allegedly shot the boy again on the ground. Miraculously, Yarl was able to get up and run to a nearby house, where neighbors tried to stop the bleeding until paramedics arrived. He is still being treated for his serious wounds — but so far the news sounds surprisingly good considering he was SHOT IN THE HEAD. You can still donate to the GoFundMe to help support the teen HERE.

Meanwhile Lester was charged with two felonies — assault in the first degree and armed criminal action. He turned himself in to police but pleaded not guilty, claiming he was “scared to death” when his doorbell got him out of bed, and he saw a “Black male approximately 6 feet tall” trying to pull on the outer door. According to court docs:
Yarl says he never tried to open the door, just rang the bell. But even in his own version of events, Lester doesn’t try to ask what the young man wants, he isn’t neighborly, he isn’t verbally threatened. He just gets scared seeing a Black man at his door and opens fire.

Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor Brian Stelter is getting ready to write a new chapter in his ongoing analysis of Fox News Channel. The former anchor of CNN’s “Reliable Sources” is gearing up for “Network of Lies: The Epic Saga of Fox News, Donald Trump, and the Battle for American Democracy,” a look at the Fox Corp. cable outlet’s trajectory following the 2020 election and through the much-scrutinized defamation trial brought against it by Dominion Voting Systems. That court proceeding is slated to open Monday. “Network of Lies” is billed as a sequel of sorts to Stelter’s 2020 book “Hoax,” which offered a deep look behind the mechanics of how Fox News Channel produces its news coverage and opinion programming. Stelter’s new book proposes to examine how Fox News proceeded after the election of President Joe Biden and how it oriented itself after President Donald Trump left office. The book, published by One Signal, an imprint of Simon & Schuster’s Atria division, is scheduled to debut in November of 2023.
