Thursday's Terrible Absurdities: Media Hacks Politicize a Hurricane as Americans Come to the Rescue

Also of course, DeSantis gave the perfect reply. Take a look:

Typical ridiculous question from partisan reporter gets classic response from Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis

Why, oh, why can’t every Republican officeholder and candidate learn the lessons this man is teaching about how to deal with a biased and corrupt media establishment? They’re the same lessons Ronald Reagan taught 40 years ago, but about 90% of Republicans seem incapable of learning them.

Dan Rather, who apparently has never met anyone in the current generation of “reporters” or in the Biden administration, had this to say:

When the hurricane hits Florida, federal aid will flow into help — paid for by tax dollars from Americans across the country. Airplanes will be full of supplies, not stunts. There will be no "us" and "them." Because this is how America should act, and most Americans know it.

Just a reminder that Dan Rather is the guy who literally invented fake news, and also invented the habit of idiot weather reporters standing out in the middle of Cat 4 hurricanes:

Oof. There’s a reason Gov. DeSantis urged everyone to get the hell out of there, dude. This isn’t a mystery.
