Californians' red future, 'disinfo' zealot rises at NPR and other commentary
Briefly

Merrill Matthews predicts the 'two likely results' of the LA fires, suggesting that thousands of displaced Californians may choose to relocate to red states or push to remove incompetent local officials, as seen in prior recall elections.
He argues that while California's leadership, including Gov. Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass, have evaded accountability for the ongoing crises, the combination of recent devastations and public sentiment may lead to politicians' replacements, potentially shifting the political landscape.
Matt Taibbi criticizes NPR CEO Ryan Merkley for his past involvement in efforts to combat disinformation, suggesting his strategies may suppress free expression rather than encourage open dialogue, as seen in his actions during the Aspen Institute's Commission on Information Disorder.
Hochul's 'Money In Your Pockets' plan illustrates a broader trend of Albany focusing on short-term incentives rather than implementing sustainable economic growth strategies, raising concerns about long-term economic planning in New York.
