Over the past few months, we have covered the closure of numerous businesses in San Francisco. One thing that many of them have in common is the out of control crime being experienced by the city.

Now the mainstream media is starting to take notice. The situation is so bad that they can no longer ignore it.

On Good Morning America this week, they did a report on some of the closures, and at the end of the story, the reporter says that they’re not filming downtown because they were told it’s too dangerous.

RedState has details:

Two stories this week illustrate just how decadent and dangerous the formerly proud city of San Francisco has become. In the first, RedState‘s Sister Toldjah reported on how conservative author Shelby Steele and his filmmaker son Eli were robbed of tens of thousands of dollars in equipment Wednesday as they tried to film a documentary. The police were overwhelmed—as they always are in San Francisco due to defunding—and were of no help. The irony? The movie the Steeles were making “explores how defunding the police has hurt society.”

Then on Wednesday, ABC reporter Matt Gutman told his live audience that downtown San Francisco was simply too dangerous an area for his crew to film in. I remember watching news crews covering the ’92 L.A. riots, and during the George Floyd mayhem, you’d always find a reporter in a helmet roaming around describing the “mostly peaceful protests.”

Gutman himself was “a Jerusalem-based reporter for seven years, covering every major conflict in the Middle East,” according to his ABC bio. But downtown San Francisco? No—that’s simply too perilous.

Watch the video below to the end:

Left wing policies are driving this problem.

San Francisco's iconic downtown Westfield shopping center is laying a path to shut down amid a "deteriorating situation" where crimes & theft are routine. California has lax laws & punishment around theft & violent misdemeanor crimes in the name of equity.https://t.co/UfGmkEWIlR

San Francisco is in a death spiral. Their leaders had better get serious about dealing with this issue, and fast.

Spotify has parted ways with Harry and Meghan, ending a deal they inked back in 2020.

The media outlet reportedly paid them $20 million for a series of podcasts. They ended up making twelve episodes. That’s really nice work if you can get it.

Is this what the left means when they talk about privilege? Who else gets to make that kind of money for this kind of work?

NBC News reports:

Prince Harry and Meghan’s deal with Spotify ends as they agree to ‘part ways’

Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, have announced another high-profile split.

The couple’s lucrative deal to produce podcasts for Spotify has come to an end, both parties revealed Thursday.

“Spotify and Archewell Audio have mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together,” the audio streaming giant and the production company launched by the Sussexes said in a joint statement.

The development comes after the couple produced just one series, “Archetypes,” a podcast launched in August 2022 and hosted by Meghan that sought to “investigate, dissect, and subvert the labels that try to hold women back,” under their Archewell Audio podcast imprint…

The royals’ deal with Spotify was reported to have been made in 2020 for a reported $20 million. NBC News was not immediately able to verify that figure.

One employee for Spotify said that the former royals were lazy compared to the Obamas. Oof.

Page Six reported:

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were branded “lazy” and “f–king grifters” by Spotify employees Friday after the podcasting network canned their $20 million deal.

Bill Simmons, the sportscaster who is also head of Spotify’s international sports content, said on his own podcast, “’The f–king grifters.’ That’s the podcast we shoulda launched with them.”

His attack deepened the couple’s crisis as sources said they were “lazy” compared to the Obamas, who also had a Spotify contract.

Harry and Meghan will probably not be missed.

When was the last time you even heard anyone talk about listening to their podcast?
