A local Fox News affiliate anchor in Los Angeles tried to do an on-the-spot fact-check that quickly blew up in his face. Former Mayoral candidate, Rick Caruso, stated that firefighters did not have any water. The anchor countered saying that no firefighters had told their news station this information. Seconds later the program cuts to a reporter on location who leads off her piece by stating firefighters say there is no water.

Too funny! (WATCH)

This news anchor tried to come to the defense of elected Democrats by claiming that Rick Caruso was wrong about firefighters not having water to put out fires but then the reporter on the ground jumps in to confirm that there’s NO WATER.

National reporters are trying to push narratives that shift blame for the fires and lackluster response away from elected Democrat officials. But, this is first incident where we’ve seen a local news employee try to do it.

Based reporter on the scene. Facts always break down propaganda. The male reporter should be fired for what he said. He is promulgating his narrative due to a political agenda.

I may be wrong, but i think that is what Robby was saying – criminal behavior across the board.

@robbystarbuck Fake news strikes again. Can’t believe they’d try to spin this disaster to protect Democrat failures. Thankfully, the reporter on the ground set the record straight – NO WATER to fight the fires. Unacceptable!

Reports are already widespread that firefighters are not able to get water from hydrants, so it’s strange the anchor would not already know this.
