Barely a week can go by these days where we don't see the "fact-checkers" instinctively run cover for Democrats and whatever the preferred narrative du jour happens to be.
One recent example involved this claim Donald Trump made about the fires in Los Angeles County. Trump said the fire damage was worse because of a shortage of water and empty reservoirs, and CNN's Daniel Dale apparently didn't need to actually find out if that was true before slapping a "FALSE" label on that claim:
"There is no shortage of water in the Los Angeles area. The reservoirs are at or above historical levels. The water is there." - @CNN fact checker Daniel Dalehttps://t.co/FiLpXCvVPb https://t.co/ujikV3wVmz pic.twitter.com/tYQQBSVvGd

That "false" ruling got awkward rather quickly:
A reservoir in the Palisades that holds 117 million gallons of water was offline this month for previously scheduled maintenance. It was empty when the Palisades fire exploded. https://t.co/qLgNpFPwiu

Those kinds of "fact-checks" continue to age badly.
Here's the latest on what happens when Democrats are in charge of things:

"Climate change" -- aka "Democrat incompetence" -- strikes again!
Los Angeles County officials missed dozens of opportunities for water infrastructure improvements that experts say probably would have enabled firefighters to save more homes during the Palisades fire, public records show.
As crews battled the blaze, attempting to extinguish flames that burned huge swaths of L.A. County and killed at least 11 people, some hydrants ran dry.
The lack of water has come under scrutiny since the wildfire broke out Jan. 7, with officials scrambling to explain why the 117-million-gallon Santa Ynez Reservoir was left empty for maintenance.
It's almost like the "fact-checkers" aren't really concerned about actual facts.
Remember when this was “misinformation” like a week ago? https://t.co/Gtu9LM00os

In other words, the "conspiracy theorists" were right yet again.

More "conspiracy theories" that turned out to be true. At least the November election showed that most people have had enough of the lefty media and Democrats' BS.

Will L.A. County voters decide it's time to finally have competent leadership focused on solving actual problems or will they follow the definition of insanity and "fix" this by voting for more Democrats? I have a hunch which one it'll be.
