Tell me how you know the media is corrupt without telling me the press has let society down.
Proof you know the media needs reform, shouldn't the press be reassuring the public about facts?
What infuriates me about this is that the governor of a state -- any state -- should have to take even a moment's focus from helping their constituents and responding to a historic catastrophe to combat lies.
Hat tip to Gov. Newsom for doing it but, I resent that he ever had to.
That is exactly my thought. Why do they make him waste the precious time to deal with the disaster? Anybody’s time? On YouTube I saw a video, he had to answer very random questions from a woman who appeared to be a MAGAt. My thoughts were WTF? I am so mad right now.
He's got it handled. So, I recommend that we redirect the anger into action. The best we can do now is spread information to combat the spread of disinformation.
I had to correct someone this morning who swore the firefighting budget was cut. FALSE.
I honestly think we need more Blue Anon crazies to really duke it out with right wingers. No use taking the high ground when they can just dig it out from under you. We need to respond to the crazies with crazier cause it's the only language they understand.
The fact is the forces of nature are so out of control. Trying to stop a fire with hundred mile an hour winds is nearly impossible but, governor Newsom is doing everything he can. That's all you can ask of your public servants. Thanks to the public servants of CA for working tirelessly.
I will repost this as often as needed ....because all the factual info put out, by Newsom , or FEMA , re , the recent NC hurricane ...falls into this space . " A man hears what he wants to hear , and disregards the rest " from the Boxer , Simon/ Garfunkle . !!
California’s Governor having to spend time correcting the lies spewed by the president-elect orange turd.
Yep, that’s what’s happening.
Evil is as evil does and does and keeps on doing.
Sadly, the folks who need to read this the most won't because they like spreading the lies better. I feel I am in a world where the truth is bankrupt, and the lies are billionaires.

FYI
Students are getting Tik Tok videos that are lying about their rights against ICE and Border Patrol agents.
Many corrections are being corrected!
Proven in the UK by research and application, misting puts out a fire faster and with less water. IMHO houses should be retro-fitted with a misting system and it should be incorporated into new builds. As long as there is water pressure from the main supply the system does not need power.
Support?
I'm sure you'll get support from any engineer about this but good luck convincing the bourgeois state to do anything that doesn't further the goals of wealth centralization and economic rent for the largest players
Natural disaster like this mean Big Big Money for land developers, who get to buy up entire destroyed neighborhoods from destroyed families for pennies on the dollar after they lose their insurance coverage and all their assets
Yeah... unfortunately those who will listen already know the facts and those who won't listen will simply ignore this site and/or call it a deep state lie. Introducing facts to the current climate of the US is not actually helping anymore.
Through all this misfortune Governor Newsom now has to spend time fact-checking the lies trump and his cult members are spreading. This is disgraceful. Has Felon trump done anything to help California?
As you can hear, CBS wants the blame story to be political instead of covering what the real problem is - Climate Change. But as we all know that type of coverage is not as provocative, so why bother.
It has nothing to do with climate change. This was arson. Couple that with dry brush (no raking or controlled burns), no water in the reservoir or pressure in fire hydrants, fewer firefighters (fired due to vaccine refusal) Santa Ana winds, & you have a recipe for disaster.
What causes dry brush? What causes lack of water? Please open your mind up to climate change. It doesn’t have to be political. It doesn’t have to be right or left. But it is important for survival.
I don't care what caused it - the issue is that Arsons started it, the wind fueled it, and no water let it rage on.
I agree there is climate change but it's not due to humans. We've had this fearmongering for decades about the sky falling. Fact is, the global ocean temperature has risen 1 degree.
Came here to say this as well. Gavin could be doing other things but noooo. Felon 47 has to stifle him and make the problem even worse. The orange idiot needs to keep California's name out of his fat mouth.
Woke earlier than normal Chicago news was explaining here why no ocean salt water can be used in trucks. For obvious reasons of corrosion in fire equip. They have been using it for air drops. We salt streets when icy that’s why vehicles here rust.
Different salt. Ocean salt water is extremely corrosive. So is road salt but less. Finally using salt water in any mechanical device not designed to resist the corrosive action will result in much earlier equipment failure than design expectations.
Using salt water and having to replace equipment earlier than planned might be less expensive than replacing burned out buildings. Of course, even if you do use salt water, you need to get it from the ocean to the fire. You cannot use the city water distribution system.
Also, there are way to help alleviate some of the negative affects to equipment similarly to what can be done in saltwater pool to prevent corrosion. In pools, a sacrificial element can be place inside where the salt attacks it instead of other elements. Not perfect but better.
The other thing I’ve been trying to know for sure are the reports of a guy arrested, being looked into for starting it. Need to be vigilant now a days watching what people are doing.
Both Trump and his side-kick Vance are spreading constant lies and misinformation about the governor of California just because he’s Democrat! This must be stopped immediately, because telling a lie too often eventually becomes the truth
Trump and his sidekicks told constant lies when he was last in power, and look what happened on January 6, 2020. The capital building was invaded by Trump‘s followers because of the amount of lies he told.
Oooh...they didnt cut their firefighter budget for more police? I mean gavin said so. Also even with increased firefighether budget itd just mitigate the damage of the actual issue of massive corporations in oil, plastics, etc? While Oil just pay off every poletician they can to stfu?
Like the Governor doesn't have enough to do managing his states crisis, he Also has to fight the wild spread of lies from the World's Biggest Megaphone! 😖
Sadly it's much easier for them to lie to support their point.
A tragedy happens and the right just looks for a woman, poc or other minority and pin it all on them shouting how it proves DEI is a curse or whatever.
When the ideology is based on hate, it's very easy to find a simple explanation.
Thank you Governor Newsom it is sad that you have to fight the lies while leading us through this crisis but I thank you for your transparency and leadership. Keep punching back!
Turnabout is fair play. Next hurricane block every nickel to the gulf coast hillbillies. In the meantime California can reject federal aid and extort the money from Texans with property and businesses in their state.
Trump and his followers did the same thing with the Hurricane victims. They had people scared to apply for FEMA because they were told by MAGA people that they had to repay it all.

We know most of us know the truth!!
So glad to see you on here and appreciate your efforts and honesty and dedication!!
We need to fight these lies!!

Trump is a dirt bag!
When an event happens you have to create a website to provide the facts and hope SuckitBerg & Elonia don’t hack it
Wierd to openly admit it.
Yep, that’s what’s happening.
Evil is as evil does and does and keeps on doing.
How much federal aid will our next president offer to "rake the forests" and prevent this from happening (his idea, and I use the word loosely)?
Now to deprogram the millions of conspiracy-pilled minds who won't believe this
That lies becoming the truth

When they go low, fight back with the truth. Quickly.
