Headline:  “Jay Leno Schools Fox News About ‘Blame Game’”

Subhead:  “Leno ironically hit back against the politicizing of the L.A. fires following the network’s attempts to stoke blame.”

“Former Tonight Show host Jay Leno ironically hit back against the politicizing of the ongoing L.A. fires in a Wednesday Fox News interview following the network’s repeated attempts to fan the flames of blame.

“Leno told host Sandra Smith that he volunteered to serve meals to the firefighters responding to the emergency affecting the greater Los Angeles area because he didn’t want to be a part of the ‘blame game.’

“ ‘The great thing is I haven’t heard a political discussion for the last four days. Nobody’s blaming this, that,’ said Leno. ‘They’re fighting a fire. These guys have no opinion. I’m sure they have opinions, but it’s not a blame game at this point at play, but it’s just a matter of what we’ve got to do to fix this.’ ”

“. . . Last week on Fox News, host Laura Ingraham pointed fingers at “California liberals” for “their environmental fanaticism,” claiming it has affected the emergency response to the fires and ‘shoved common sense thinking out the door.’ ”
