Normally I consider NewsBusters fairly reliable, but the headline claim didn't ring true. I DDG-searched, "newsom french laundry" and found articles from:
Politico
LA Times
NY Post
Santa Rosa Press-Democrat (major regional paper)
Fox News
SF Comical
San Jose Murky Skews
Sacramento, Fresno, and Modesto Bee (McClatchy papers)
WashTimes
KPIX (CBS, SF)
San Diego Union-Tribune
KCRA (NBC, Sacto)
KGO (ABC, SF)
AP
Mediaite
KTVU (Fox, Oakland)
The article's claim of a cover-up is somewhere between sketchy and false. The story may not have run on network 6 O'Clock News, but it's gotten lots of coverage in CA (Newsom is the Governor of CA, remember?), including from networks' California stations. Why a resident of Kansas or Ohio needs to know about Newson's hypocrisy eludes me. They have their own governors to keep an eye on.
