California governor calls wildfires raging across state ‘historic’ – live
This “historic” spate of California wildfires have so far displaced hundreds of thousands during a pandemic, killed seven, destroyed at least tens of thousands of structures, burned through the equivalent acreage of a small state and sent plumes of smoke over several regions, forcing millions indoors during a heat wave.
Yet the country’s paper of record – the New York Times – seems unwilling to feature this incredibly newsworthy disaster that has affected millions of Americans prominently on its pages.
California's record-setting wildfires have displaced 120k and are spreading uncontrolled. There's more lightning on the way.

ALL THIS DUE TO FAILED FORESTRY PRACTICES that could have been avoided. Ask those who believe in “old stand forests” how the protected owls are doing when the forest burns to the ground.
“Yet the country’s paper of record – the New York Times”?
By whom is the NYT considered the country’s paper of record?
Certainly not by me. I consider it among the worst of liberal rags which has proven time and again with either carelessly edited articles or willfully false articles that in most instances anything reported in the NYT should be read with caution.
