Good day all. The massive fraud in Minnesota is now approaching $9 billion dollars. This doesn’t include other massive amounts of fraud being uncovered in other states. These stories have now been “discovered” by the Main Stream Media, but there are a lot of questions on where the Hell the legacy media has been.
Now the Feed Our Future scam has been covered by alt news and blogs for several years now. One has been Powerline Blog. I haven’t followed their stories all that much, but have seen things where they were asking the local papers why they weren’t covering the stories. It appears that they were afraid of being called racists. Here are the details from Fox News:
Minnesota’s sprawling fraud crisis has garnered national headlines in recent weeks, but several critics say the problem festered for years, aided by local media that appeared uninterested in holding people in power accountable.
The MSM loves to consider itself to be the “Guardians of the Truth” who are seeking out crimes and breaking major stories. There are a few that were like that, once upon a time, long, long ago. Today? The Legacy Media is nothing more than propaganda sheets who’s antics would shock the author of 1984, George Orwell.
“In newsrooms, they’re told, ‘We can’t run that because we’re going to be accused of being racist,’” Townhall columnist Dustin Grage recently told Fox News Digital about news outlets in Minnesota essentially enabling the fraud by not calling out shocking taxpayer waste occurring primarily within the local Somali community.
The outlet that is considered by many the top news source in the region, the Minnesota Star Tribune, has faced criticism on social media in recent days over some of its headlines, including “Minnesota Somali community grapples with fraud cases while pushing back against stereotypes” on Nov. 26 and “Trump claims Minnesota lost billions to fraud. The evidence to date isn’t close” on Dec. 11.
I don’t read the Star Tribune. I am aware of them and I have been give to understand that they make the old Soviet Union’s Pravda look balanced and accurate. I am not surprised that they spiked a story that would make a “Protected group” look bad. Like all Progressive Liberal groups and organizations, virtue signaling how “Progressive and inclusive” they are is how they make decisions.
On Thursday, federal prosecutors held a press conference where they revealed that the true scope of the fraud scandal could end up costing taxpayers around $9 billion, prompting some conservatives on social media to point out the Dec. 11 headline.
“The Minnesota Star Tribune masquerades as a newspaper,” New York Post columnist Miranda Devine posted on X. “It’s actually a Democrat front, hiding news, twisting facts, lying outright. One of the worst in the country.”
Additionally, the paper’s CEO is Steve Grove, who served as Gov. Tim Walz’s former commissioner of employment and economic development, which has sparked criticism from some who say that the paper is hesitant to pin Walz to the fraud crisis.
The levels of fraud being discovered in Minnesota alone are staggering. People are starting to ask not how Walz and the state Attorney General Keith Ellison missed all this, but were they actually involved in some way.
Rather then ask questions regarding the fraud, or actually doing some investigative reporting, the Star Tribune is flat out being accused of, if not outright aiding and abetting, at least burying any stories that would damage the Democrats in the state.
“The Minnesota Star Tribune has proven itself to be nothing more than communist fish wrap,” Republican House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, who represents Minnesota 6th Congressional District, told Fox News Digital.
“They’ve shown their true colors throughout their sorry coverage of the massive fraud in my home state. Fraudsters stole over a billion dollars from taxpayers on Tim Walz and [state Attorney General] Keith Ellison’s watch. However, the blame also falls on the largest, most widely read newspaper in the state for failing to hold Minnesota’s so-called ‘leaders’ accountable as decent journalism requires. Their bias stinks to high heaven, but that’s not surprising given that their top dog is a former Tim Walz appointee.”
I’m wondering if maybe it’s time to look into the culpability of the Legacy Media. The fraud cases have been getting prosecuted for several years now, and yet the MSM doesn’t seem interested in informing readers about it. Instead, they would rather go after President Trump over something he said.
Last week, the conservative media watchdog Newsbusters reported that even after the scandal broke into the national spotlight, major news broadcast networks were still downplaying the fraud issue and focusing more on President Donald Trump’s rhetoric on the matter.
I looked at the Newsbusters story. Basically they did an analysis of the time the networks spent covering the Somali fraud network. The short version? It was pathetic. Instead, the Legacy News spent the majority of their time going after President Trump.
Grage told Fox News Digital the news landscape has shifted over the last decade or so from a point where the news was covered fairly in the era of governors like Independent Jesse Ventura and Republican Tim Pawlenty, into “complicit media that carries water for Democrats.”
I’m not surprised. A lot of the newer “Journalists” all went to Propaganda Journalism school. They don’t know how to actually investigate potential criminal activity or government malfeasance. They’ve also been heavily indoctrinated into the Socialist Progressive world view and see themselves as pushing this agenda on the public. Anything that goes against this is shut down.
Grage painted a general picture of newsrooms in Minnesota filled with staffers sympathetic to the DFL, Minnesota’s Democrat Party apparatus, and said a key problem is the fear of being labeled “racist” in their coverage of fraud in the Somali community.
“In regard specifically to the Somali fraud scandal, newsrooms will come back at them and say, ‘Well, we can’t run that because we’re gonna be accused of being racist.’ And at the end of the day, that’s where a lot of this has stemmed from,” Grage told Fox News Digital. “I mean, we can talk about the media complacency, the severe funding deficits for Republicans in our campaigns, but a lot of the time it’s just simply put, people are afraid of being called a racist.”
This is the problem with the Progressive Liberal Democrats. They are, deep down, racist to the core. Where people on the center/right look at this and see a bunch of Somali criminals, the Leftists literally are not able to get past the skin color of the people involved with the fraud. They see everything as racially motivated.
They also consider people with different skin color or eye shapes as being a different race. In many cases, they see them as less than human and in need of help from the “Great White Father/Mother.” (Or is that birthing person and fertilization person?) The vast majority of people do not consider a person’s skin color. They look at the individual. For this, the Progressive Libtards spewing their propaganda will scream “RACIST!!”
The 1st Amendment protects the Mostly Stupid Media from government actions, provided that those organizations are committing actual crimes. They can be sued into oblivion by private citizens if they lie. This is exactly what President Trump has done several times and successfully. I’m not sure if any crimes were committed, or activities that would warrant a civil judgment. I do think that private citizens, doing everything within the law, should do everything they can to completely destroy the Legacy Media. Instead of being the “Protectors of the Truth,” they are actively aiding and abetting.
