I've held off on writing about the Flint water disaster here thus far (although I've dealt with it a couple of times in my Detroit News column) because it seems we learn more every day about what happened and why. Sadly but predictably, Michigan media have treated it mainly as a political story, with the early narrative being something along the lines of "Republicans stick Flint with toxic water to save money."
That has prompted absurdities like Michael Moore (who grew up in Flint by the way) showing up and demanding that Republican Gov. Rick Snyder be arrested. For what crime, I'm not exactly sure, but legal niceties scarcely matter when self-righteous liberals think they're winning an argument
