It’s pure schadenfreude. Once again, the media tried to flex its muscles in fact-finding and reporting. Once again, they got their faces beaten in because these people lie. CNN’s latest faceplant is why fact-checkers are being purged from Facebook—these people are idiots.
As the California wildfires rage in Los Angeles County, there’s been legitimate anger and criticism over the lack of water. Firefighters had hydrants either had no water or became exhausted as fires continued to rage.

Daniel Dale tried to argue this week that there’s plenty of water, only to have The Los Angeles Times deliver the fatal blow: the reservoir Dale was referring to in the Palisades was empty when the wildfires erupted:
Daniel Dale was a Canadian reporter who made it to the big leagues by writing viral listicles fact checking every Trump utterance. A reminder that the cottage industry of instant fact checkers doing a google search is no replacement for good local journalism. https://t.co/mdATSCo3Fg pic.twitter.com/LHbbDkgbwd

A reservoir in the Palisades that holds 117 million gallons of water was offline this month for previously scheduled maintenance. It was empty when the Palisades fire exploded. https://t.co/qLgNpFPwiu

🚨 “Officials said that the Santa Ynez Reservoir had been closed since about February for repairs to its cover, leaving a 117-million-gallon water storage complex empty in the heart of the Palisades for ***nearly a year***.” This is… insane.https://t.co/Lv2x7iOxWE https://t.co/mHZtgt6tAR
