NYT: How Outlets on the Left and Right Have Covered the Los Angeles Wildfires

New York Times (1/9/25 ([link removed]) )

This week on CounterSpin: While the New York Times rolls out claptrap ([link removed]) about how both "the left and the right" have ideas about causes behind the devastating Los Angeles wildfires—the right blame DEI hires, while the left blame climate change—many people have moved beyond that sort of stultifying nonsense to work that directly confronts the fossil fuel companies, and their political enablers, for the obvious role ([link removed]) that fossil fuels play in climate disruption, and that climate disruption plays in extreme weather events ([link removed]) . Many are also now calling out insurance companies ([link removed]) that take folks’ money, but then hinder their ability to come out from under when these predictable and predicted crises occur.

Would you be surprised to hear that these powerful industries—fossil fuels and insurers—are intertwined? We talked about it last year ([link removed]) with writer and historian Derek Seidman. We’ll hear that conversation on this week's show.

19th News: Disability advocates breathe a sigh of relief at Supreme Court’s Acheson decision

19th (12/6/23 ([link removed]) )

Also on the show: Did you see the coverage of how people with disabilities are dealing with the California fires’ impact? Probably not, given that the place of people with disabilities ([link removed]) in elite media coverage ranges roughly from afterthought to absent. We talked about that last year ([link removed]) with disability rights advocate and policy analyst Ariel Adelman, in the wake of a Supreme Court case ([link removed]) that considered dismantling civil rights protections for people with disabilities, by criminalizing the ways that we learn about whether those protections are actually real. We’ll hear that too.
