This article is just a piece of the long-running right-wing propaganda campaign aimed at discrediting Chesa Boudin. In SF, it's driven by VCs furious that he's sued gig economy companies for worker misclassification. In other cities, like Philadelphia, the backlash is driven by police unions (the DA in Philadelphia was the subject of a similar string of articles in the local and national press and then won reelection by a 2:1 margin over his closest rival).
