You Smell the Smoke, But Not the Bullsh*t?

They’ll Blame the Wind, the Weeds, the Weekend…Anything But Climate Change.

Here’s how wild journalism has gotten in 2025:

What’s driving the explosive fires in the West?

The Washington Post just wrote a 1,300-word article about wildfires raging across nine states, in the middle of record heat, with more than a million acres burned so far—and somehow never said the words “climate change.”

Not once. Not even a cough. Not a single whisper of the actual crisis.

That’s like writing about a 10-car pileup and forgetting to mention the ice on the road. Or covering a robbery and forgetting to mention the suspect.
