- The Associated Press (AP) has spectacularly beclowned itself in a brief video — lasting only 1:35, a record for such stupidity — by suggesting the smoke blowing over from Canadian wildfires is racist.
- The video claims that the smoke is “particularly hard on poor and minority communities that are more likely to live near polluting plants.”
- The video also notes: “Detroit, a mostly black city with a poverty rate of about 30%, had the worst air quality in the U.S. on Wednesday.” By coincidence, Detroit is just across the river from Ontario, Canada.
