Wildfires

“February was the wettest month in downtown Los Angeles since 1998. With over 12 inches of rain drenching the city, it was the fourth-wettest February -- and the seventh-wettest month overall -- in the city’s nearly 150-year recorded history,” said Judson Jones’ report on Los Angeles’ weather on March 2, 2024, in The New York Times. Just under a year later, Los Angeles is on fire and…

In a dramatic moment on FOX 11's Good Day LA, anchor Melvin Robert denied claims of a water shortage affecting firefighters during the Los Angeles wildfires, only to be contradicted by his colleague on-site, Gigi Graciette. This mishap, which spotlighted media bias and spin, led to a stir on social media, where viewers mocked Robert's failed attempt to dismiss former mayoral candidate Rick…

NBC’s Seth Meyers and Comedy Central’s Desi Lydic both attacked President-elect Donald Trump on their respective Thursday editions of Late Night and The Daily Show for politicizing the Los Angeles wildfires with his attacks on President Joe Biden and Gov. Gavin Newsom. Both argued such attacks were not only unseemly but factually wrong; however, both blamed climate change for…

As the Los Angeles-area wildfires continue to burn, the leftist media have found almost every possible way to explain what caused them, while ignoring the obvious facts. On Wednesday’s The 11th Hour, MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle brought in University of Pennsylvania professor and longtime climate alarmist Dr. Michael Mann to hypothesize about the fires as a direct effect of climate change…

As the Los Angeles wildfires rage on, the corporate media are compelled to cover some of the issues that have emerged. But as we see with NBC’s coverage of the shortage of water for fire hydrants, there is a reluctance to cover underlying political incompetence. 

On Wednesday morning, President-elect Trump weighed in on the fires raging through Los Angeles County, blaming California Governor Gavin Newsom for the disaster. During an Inside Politics panel discussion on the matter, CNN’s Nia-Malika Henderson accused Trump of having “no sense that Californians are Americans” and lacking empathy because of his feuds with “Democrat[s] in general.”…

On CNN’s “Thunderdome”, more commonly known as NewsNight with Abby Phillip, the conversation over the response to California’s catastrophic wildfires inevitably led to Donald Trump. To be more precise: pre-imputing a bad response to a man who is still days away from taking power as President of the United States.

Leave it to MSNBC’s Joy Reid to indulge her Trump derangement with no restraint, even in the middle of an ongoing disaster. Such was the case when she and Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) disgustingly politicized the horrific Los Angeles fires in order to score cheap dunks on President-Elect Donald Trump.

On Saturday afternoon, CNN weekend host Fredricka Whitfield devoted a segment to promoting UC San Diego implementing a new requirement that their students take at least one course on the climate, presumably as a way of promoting the liberal theory that humans are to blame for recent natural disasters.

During Wednesday’s Doocy Time at the White House press briefing, one of the questions from Fox White House correspondent Peter Doocy drew looks of incredulousness and disgust from liberal journalists seated next to and behind him. Doocy’s crime? Asking White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre if the response to Hurricane Idalia was smoother vs. the Hawaii wildfires because President…

Smokey haze from the Canadian wildfires continued to cover the East Coast of the United States on Friday, and PBS’s Amanpour and Company used the air pollution to portray Republicans as opposed to a healthy environment. Ironically, Amanpour’s guest, Democratic Senator Chris Coons (DE) spent his air time promoting a bipartisan bill for a carbon border tax.

On Wednesday morning, the broadcast network news shows were hit by a sense of doom as ABC’s Good Morning America, CBS Mornings, and NBC’s Today led with the threat of self-imposed blackouts in California due to the far-left state’s fragile and inept power grid due to extreme heat. Of course, the blackout threat hit amid calls from Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and his…

A meteorologist known for smacking down the sensationalism of eco-fanatics said his website was demonetized by censorship giant Google. University of Alabama, Huntsville Principal Research Scientist Dr. Roy Spencer posted a blog on his website Jan. 7 saying that he had been demonetized for “unreliable and harmful claims.”

On Thursday's The Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC, fill-in host Ayman Mohyeldin devoted a segment to pushing for President Joe Biden to target the fossil fuel industry without the approval of Congress. Setting up a segment with environmental alarmist Bill McKibben, Mohyeldin blamed recent examples of extreme weather on "climate change" and lamented that Democrats have failed to pass…
