Governor Cuts Funding

Someone needs to pull funding from Fox News

Facts don’t matter to conservatives, they’re completely fucked in the head.

For anyone wondering: Fox is correct but Newsom is also correct. Newsom did cut the fire budget by $100M but also raised it over his tenure by something like $2B

This is where the information seems to be originating from.

The statement by Fox News is technically correct. He did reduce programs aimed at combating fires by $100M. However, where it is misleading is it does not also explain that the budget for such programs in 2014 was $1.1 Billion dollars and was increased to $3 Billion by 2023. So, net the fire budget had more than doubled since 2014.

This might be one of the craziest pictures I’ve seen.

It’s straight criminal, straight deception and misinformation with the intent to destroy.

From a network on tv… broadcasted to millions… with no consequence. I never seen an image that displays how well we’re absolutely against morals and actually coming together.

Fox News is ACTIVELY dividing this country. And it’s been known for some time but they threw the brakes out of the car at this point.

Luigi should’ve went here instead

I love how Fox News is arguing for higher government spending. If modern day Republicans could think on their own , they would have woken up by now .

I think it’s time for us to stop tolerating the lies of conservative media. And to bring a justice to those that have participated in it. I’m guessing you can treat it like the early days of the iraq war – a “cut off the head of the serpent” idea.

MAGA don’t want facts, if they were interested in facts would they have elected a rapist?

These are very specific claims from both sides. Certainly, they are both deceptive half truths. I would really like to see how this is calculated. Show me the math. I know you’re lying, because that’s the whole game isn’t it? How have you doubled the size of your firefighting army? Army? What do you mean by army? Doubled? This appears to be comparing the 2017 numbers for “permanent staff” to the 2025 numbers for “permanent staff” +”seasonal staff” +”inmate staff” +”people we are funded to hire next year but haven’t hired yet”. Looks like it is a lie. Did newsom cut the fire budget by 100M ? Apparently yes and no? He cut it and doubled it both at the same time? There’s more bullshit here and I’m to sick of the bullshit to track anymore

Gavin newsom is a lying piece of shit

Which side of the argument is able to provide proof and evidence ?

That photo of him next to a photo of a fire was certainly a choice. It’s like they’re mocking our stupidity

This is why musk bought twitter, to spread lies and sow political discord.

He can’t be allowed to get away with this. Boycott all of musk’s companies.

The lying and corrupt misinformation never ends.

So California did cut the budget $100m… After raising it about $2 billion over the last decade.

To never have a fire in California they’d probably have to raise the budget to $10+ billion and have people sweeping the forest floor constantly.

I hope the state of California sues the living shit out of Fox News for this

Oh look, fox spouting bullshit. Shocking.
