Peddling Fake News is how ABC News and Hillary Clinton roll. This time they set their sights on the horrendous brush fires decimating several areas in Australia. ABC News decided to use a map to show everyone how bad the fires are.
Nice map isn’t it? Looking at it, one sees that the fire map covers most of the U.S. and portions of Canada. Which leads readers to believe that all of Australia is on fire.
Not so fast. You see, if you don’t go past the headline or neglect to actually READ the article, readers will miss some key information.
“The raging fires in Australia have burned over 12.35 million acres of land — with at least 24 people killed and more than 2,000 homes destroyed by the blazes, officials said.
The size of the fires across the country are twice as large as the state of Maryland and bigger than several other states, including Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and New Jersey.
A superimposed map of Australia over the United States shows the hot spots around the country as the massive wildfires have spread Down Under.”
Wait just a minute! The ABC article says that the fires only cover an area that, in the U.S., would only include FIVE states. Five states is a whole lot less than what they are showing. For better perspective.

OH. That’s quite a difference. ABC News has kept their story up with the original map, which Vodka Pundit has a screen shot of, just in case. However, they did delete their tweet. That’s something I guess.
Except that misleading maps are now flooding social media. Maps like this.

The wildfires are horrendous, and it will take years and decades for the areas hit to recover. Believe me, I know. In Yellowstone National Park, there is an entire section of forested land that is no longer because of the 1988 fires. All you can see is grass and thousands of burnt trees.
Never mind that. Let’s have ABC News peddle a completely fake map and join in with the chorus of idiot actors who spent their evening at the Golden Globes unknotting their shorts after Ricky Gervais gave them a righteous smack down. What did they do? Among other things, they blamed the fires on climate change.
Hillary Clinton decided to open her yap and drop some stupid as well.
Australia’s bushfire emergency, spurred by climate change, has killed 24 people, destroyed thousands of homes, and led to the loss of an estimated half a billion animals. Here are ways you can help: https://t.co/0oajjMJwIh

Hillary, you never ever learn do you? The fires aren’t caused by climate change. Try ARSON as the cause.
“Almost 100 firebugs have deliberately started blazes across Queensland that have destroyed homes and consumed thousands of hectares of bushland.
Some 65 fires continued to burn across the state on Friday, jumping from 55 reported on Thursday, as the fire threat deepened heading into the weekend.
As firefighters remained on high alert, police revealed 103 of the destructive fires that had lashed Queensland since September were deliberately lit.
Figures obtained by AAP revealed police had dealt with 98 people – 31 adults and 67 juveniles – for deliberately setting fires.”
Thousands of animals are being killed and injured because of arsonists. Homes and land have now become ash heaps because of arsonists. And the danger is still ongoing.
But sure! Let’s have the U.S. media, ignorant actors and actresses along with Hillary Clinton peddle Fake News because it fits their narrative.
Lovely bunch of people aren’t they?
Just like the California wildfires in the last few years, placing the blame on climate change for decades of mismanagement is all about choosing narrative over reality, to the detriment of those who have to fight the fires and those who have to deal with the aftermath.
Peddling Fake News only makes the peddlers look like fools. ABC News and Hillary Clinton are in excellent company then.
