If a media company promotes anti-vaccine and QAnon conspiracies, as the Epoch Times does, I will refuse to look at anything they produce.

Those are my basic standards for how trustworthy a media company is.

You’re free to choose your own.

I happen to know fire personnel in California and also people working as docents in redwood forests. If you choose to have your information laundered through your preferred political channels good luck with that. I think most of us can read or watch perspectives on RT, the BBC etc and know what their perspective is likely to be without being seduced or tainted by it. That video is very close to what I've been hearing from real people on the ground. I urge you to watch it.

Yes, I’d trust my “laundered” sources over some random person’s second hand anecdotal information from unnamed “fire personnel”.

You might be fine with anti-science anti-vaccine conspiracy spreading media sources trying to influence you with their lies but I’ll pass.

Perhaps you can find a less tainted source to share with us?
