What national media is certain to get wrong if Chesa Boudin is recalled

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : Despite mixed crime data -- shoplifting is up while assaults and robberies are down -- she wants to increase the police budget by $50 million to $708 million over the next year.
49% : "The pendulum has changed from what it was a couple of years ago with George Floyd and Black Lives Matter and total reform."
46% : Schubert won endorsements from law enforcement organizations and others for her tough-on-crime approach and has ridiculed Boudin, Bonta and Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón for being too lenient.
39% : Also predicted to romp Tuesday is Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is embraced by criminal justice reformers for his support of closing state prisons, the legalization of cannabis and backing Proposition 47, the 2014 ballot measure that reclassified certain theft and drug possession charges from felonies to misdemeanors, including shoplifting of items under $950.
36% : Other reformers are winning: It's hard to say Boudin's recall means that criminal justice reform is dead when Democratic Attorney General Rob Bonta -- a reformer who Republicans frequently tie to Boudin -- will be the overwhelming choice of voters in San Francisco.
