He only calls them “fake” because THEY TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT HIM. Putin has reporters thrown out of high windows who tell the truth about him. These are very very weak men. So weak and insecure, they can’t HANDLE THE TRUTH.

Yes, these poor people have lost not just houses but have lost there tribes!

Local news is the best news.

scott-hutcheson.bsky.social•164 days ago

KTLA has been my go to lately, but I also love KNBC and KABC as well.

cracked-pepper.bsky.social•164 days ago

Why do they all start with k?

luckyluckboy.bsky.social•164 days ago

Because they're west of the Mississippi River. Stations east start with W.

Trump is the actual enemy of the people. Unfortunately there are enough people that are too stupid to realize this. Therefore his tactics are having their desired effects.

kenny2thad.bsky.social•164 days ago

The footage and reporting has been incredible (but absolutely terrifying and heartbreaking).
Its been leading the news over here in the UK.
Thoughts with everyone affected, stay safe!

eggbotme.bsky.social•164 days ago

He recognizes nothing.
He is functionally illiterate.
Has a lifelong drug addiction and has advanced dementia.
He will do absolutely anything to stay out of prison. And is probably as immoral as a human can be.
He doesn't understand public service or helping others. He is a two year old mob boss

msmeredithmm.bsky.social•164 days ago

he can’t recognize his own shoelace!

wildheart4vr.bsky.social•164 days ago

Trump is a cancer on this world.

lisa4017.bsky.social•164 days ago

Bravo!! They have been amazingly brave in the face of these fierce fires!

tonitigerihler.bsky.social•163 days ago

He has the Faux Spews most are on his staff in the White House another bunch of people who want to be a Rapist of anything American 🇺🇸 stands for. Make up these dumb asshat mission to benefit Vlad and Elon the dude who never went up on a rocket 🚀. Owns stock in a company.

sjs73.bsky.social•163 days ago

I think it’s more of a reference to Beltway journalists - they’re of use only if closely follow horse race politics. Here in the DMV, we turn to our local news when s***t hits the fan.

sablue52.bsky.social•164 days ago

I hate to break the news, but Trump's playbook is straight from Putin.

mimi828.bsky.social•164 days ago

Local news is important bc they are there physically & live close. National media sensationalize everything. It’s ALWAYS about politics even in a disaster. I bet racists who are drowning or seeing fire close to their home don’t care if rescuers are PoC, LGBTQ+, female or from a diff party. 💙❤️💚🤎🖤🩷💛💚💜

littlleoldme.bsky.social•164 days ago

This is where we need to be active to combat the bonkers crap on the federal level …. Communities matter.

dabxdee.bsky.social•164 days ago

They don't call him Donnie Douchebag for nothing...

foglightmj.bsky.social•164 days ago

These reporters are essentially first responders at this time along with police and firefighters. Articulate, calm, persistent, brave. Very grateful for them.
Trump seems challenged by the concept of the press, of truthful reporting, or any reporting that does not confirm his biases or flatter him.

mk561.bsky.social•164 days ago

Been working in a Florida newsroom for 2 decades covering hurricanes, this is what we do. While our families and homes are in danger too. Support your local paper! 🙏🏻

the-goddess-speaks.bsky.social•164 days ago

One hundred percent. Well put, Lisa.

prr333.bsky.social•164 days ago

And keep in mind, reporters reporting on these fires LIVE in and near the areas that are burning down. Working when their own homes might be in danger, reporting on fires affecting friends and neighbors.

jburrellvdc5d.bsky.social•164 days ago

Watched Jacob Sobaroff describe his childhood home, school, entire community actively burning, live, backed by flames, then continue reporting for hours

mi-forest.bsky.social•164 days ago

trump demonizes the press because they can hurt his fragile ego and undermine his appeal to his base by spreading the truth - which is very dangerous to trump.

Humanity has so much potential to do better! We see it all the time! We really have to reject the likes of trump, gop, & maga!

markbrandriss.bsky.social•164 days ago

He's not really "failing to recognize them", he's actively despising them for the service they do. Reporters who report the truth undermine his lies about what's happening and what caused it, and he doesn't like it when people refute his lies.

gloria6262.bsky.social•164 days ago

We will depend on the Mainstream Media to report the TRUTH. FOX only reports conspiracy theories.

larry14r.bsky.social•164 days ago

And that is why we tell Trump to go F himself for everytime he says that.

searanger.bsky.social•164 days ago

He’s a pathetic, loser, lying, dick. It’s really disappointing he thinks being an asshole is the best thing to be. We can be better.

dralant.bsky.social•164 days ago

Eh. He attacks them BECAUSE they are community based and do a fine job?⛳

abrocknjock18.bsky.social•164 days ago

It is par for the course that the President-Elect 2.0 went after CA Governor Newsom on his Truth Social platform. The video of all these wildfires, the evacuations, the celebrities who have lost their homes...Scary stuff! A real life "Emergency!" & "9-1-1". Shouldn't be about politics.

lilbigguy.bsky.social•164 days ago

It’s not that he fails to recognize it, he simply just does not care.

angiesuniverse.bsky.social•163 days ago

It's so horrible. We ❤️ you all. We got you.

angiesuniverse.bsky.social•163 days ago

This is fake. Sorry.

juliemccoysav.bsky.social•164 days ago

Amen sister. Journalists are who will keep this country safe. I trust them over politicians everyday of the week.

tambria.bsky.social•164 days ago

Agreed

debraischafer.bsky.social•164 days ago

He fails at everything Lisa so why would anyone think this would be different. Local reporters are the backbone of our communities.

janefrommaine.bsky.social•164 days ago

Why put politics into a crisis of climate change? This is just disgusting.

donworth.bsky.social•164 days ago

Thin skinned Jack Hopkins blocked me for liking your response to him. Must think he is the liberal Joe Rogan. 🤣🤣🤣 no loss. You stood your ground, he was an asshole.

greenled.bsky.social•163 days ago

In times of major crises, the local journalists are the ones doing the best work 99% of the time.

stephenplantsga.bsky.social•164 days ago

tRump doesn’t and never did seek the Truth. He seeks affirmation, something to trigger his rage, and a chance to profit off other people’s grief.

thecursingpoet.bsky.social•164 days ago

I watched hours of ABC7 LA overnight on night one and was amazed at the reporters in the middle of those fire zones. Professional, with a fully empathic response to a massive disaster. A model of humanity that stands in damning contrast to the president elect.

platogue.bsky.social•164 days ago

Yes, absolutely 🙏💙💕

darsi0763.bsky.social•164 days ago

💯 What's awful is I just heard the cut the budget to Cal Fire by 17.5 Million. SMH

meerkatsmiles.bsky.social•164 days ago

This is not true.

ndylan.bsky.social•163 days ago

He hates our state and city, he wants to see us destroyed so this is part of his method. He is one of the most vile despicable wastes of oxygen ever to walk. I’m so sorry for the loss of your home and for all others suffering as well. Heartbroken. Grateful for the reporting & rescuers & firefighters

eddiedillon.bsky.social•164 days ago

Nothing you say about reality gets through to the Orange Clown - he's impervious to that - total confusion lives rent-free in his tiny mind, and occasionally, when all that nonsense builds up and up, a relief valve opens (his mouth) and total garbage gets released.

... and he's your next president.

janice327.bsky.social•164 days ago

The news lied to all of us.

The house I once called home and the place that I once roamed in North Santa Monica is gone.

There is nothing more devastating than watching these Santa Ana wind-driven firestorms burn LA homes to the ground.

A close second: watching Donald Trump’s lie-driven sh*t-storm shred our nation to pieces.

Really feel for you guys in CA right now…it’s a tragedy

cyncesca.bsky.social•164 days ago

We went through the same thing in western NC. While FEMA was on the ground, the governor doing everything he could, mump was trashing the response. It was PAINFUL to have to endure that on top of the intense devastation & loss people experienced. He is vile. Hang on, he will do worse

Stick it to Trump and show your support for the work local journalists do by SUBSCRIBING to your local paper. So many people want their local news for free (and newspapers do make it free during crises) but that can’t last without monetary support from the community.

pegomyheart.bsky.social•163 days ago

Ad dollars aren’t enough anymore thanks to the Zuckerbergs of the world. Stick it to him too.
