The photo caption mentions that is from a group in Wyoming.
Presumably the group in NC is still figuring out a social media person.

I'm not giving dailykos a click. I don't see that caption on the Lemmy post. I'll take your word for it though.

I mean, sure, hate whatever media outlet you wish.
You don’t have to believe what they report, and you don’t have to even bother with reading with what they report, but you offered your thoughts without reading the article, not me.

Best to move on without commenting, or even attempting inferences based on the photo or headline in that circumstance, isn’t it? Otherwise you risk misunderstanding, falling victim to misinformation, or even creating your own misinformation.
I wonder if anyone read your comment, and skipped the article with the assumption that ‘liberal’ news outlets are manufacturing reports of anti-FEMA sentiment.

Well, at least if they don’t also read the article, they’ll know why there’s snow in the photo - assuming they read my initial reply comment. At least there’s that!

I didn't say anything like what you represented me to have said, but nice strawman. Left media isn't manufacturing reports of anti-FEMA sentiment. Right media has been manufacturing anti-FEMA sentiment ever since FEMA botched the Katrina response in 100 different ways. Confusion, blocking relief supplies, illegally seizing legally owned weapons. There are whole webpages dedicated to exposing and defunding FEMA.
