The fox station in la has been doing pretty much continuous coverage of the fire for the last few days.

Has had a few people on showing they're leftist by standing up for mayor bass and gov newsome and saying the right wingers and musk shouldn't be politicizing the situation right now

Well, they were showing air drops on the calabassas fire, till they broke away for a human interest story on a family that lost their home

It looked like they had kept the fire from getting to homes and structures before they broke away

They’re just stalling while they think of a way to blame it all on Trump or Dubya, Reagan or McKinley... anything, anybody to place the blame anywhere except where it belongs.

I thought a lot of illegal aliens would have been living in the mansions in the Palisades, and wouldn’t they be living in the best parts of wealthy Calabasas?
