Remember when news anchors just reported the news? Those were the good old days. Now we have to watch them spin fairy tales that would make Disney blush.
The mainstream media has become a circus of wild accusations and baseless theories. Every night, Americans tune in only to hear how everything is somehow connected to racism, billionaires, or both.
As of January 15, 2025, MSNBC’s Joy Reid provided the perfect example of this madness. During her Monday night broadcast, she launched into a bizarre rant about the devastating Los Angeles wildfires that left viewers stunned and fact-checkers working overtime.
The Latest Liberal Meltdown
According to Reid, the “billionaire right” is secretly plotting to use California’s wildfire tragedy to create what she calls “apartheid” conditions. Yes, you read that right. While families are losing their homes and firefighters risk their lives, Reid is spinning conspiracy theories about conservative masterplans.
The current death toll from these fires stands at 25, with over 100,000 people displaced as of January 2025. But instead of focusing on these real victims, Reid decided to create imaginary ones.
Reality Check: The Real Fire Crisis
Let’s examine the actual facts. These fires have destroyed tens of thousands of homes and acres of land across Los Angeles County. Real American families – of all backgrounds – are suffering. They don’t need political conspiracy theories. They need practical solutions and support.
The only thing more shocking than Reid’s claims is that MSNBC continues to give her a platform. While she talks about “vulture capitalists,” actual relief workers are on the ground helping victims regardless of their political beliefs.
When News Becomes Progressive Fan Fiction
“They can drive out the brown people and the black and Asian people,” Reid declared during her January 15 broadcast, “or just sink them into the same apartheid they’ve created in Texas.” This statement isn’t just false – it’s demonstrably wrong.
Texas, which Reid attacks, has experienced remarkable demographic growth. According to recent census data, Texas led the nation in minority population growth in 2024, with a 12.3% increase in diverse communities. But Reid doesn’t want her viewers to know that inconvenient truth.
The Truth About Conservative Leadership
While Reid spins tales about right-wing plots, red states continue to thrive. Florida and Texas – the states she criticizes – lead the nation in job growth, with unemployment rates of 3.2% and 3.4% respectively as of December 2024. Meanwhile, California’s policies have resulted in the highest poverty rate in the nation at 18.4%.
The real story isn’t some imaginary conservative plot. It’s about failed liberal leadership in California that has made natural disasters even more devastating through decades of poor forest management and infrastructure neglect.
Key Takeaways:
- Joy Reid host invents conspiracy theory that conservative billionaires will use wildfires to create apartheid in CA.
- Reid has a long reputation for spreading wild conspiracy theories, but facing little backlash for them.
- Other Democrats have tried to politicize the wildfires, even as Americans lose everything.
