Media Wonders Why Public Trusts Them Less After Ignoring Billions
Mainstream media's selective outrage takes another hit with the story of the alleged $9 billion childcare fraud in Minnesota. Apparently, the reason outlets like CNN or The New York Times initially kept mum wasn't because it involved systemic issues, but, as some claim, because talking about it was 'racist.' The same 'brave' journalists who demand accountability for every minor mishap abroad
suddenly find their pens seizing up when a domestic scandal involves a protected demographic. This selective hearing is peculiar, especially when compared to their aggressive pursuit of stories—any story—that might bolster narratives supporting, say, increased military spending or foreign intervention. Perhaps if the alleged Minnesota fraudsters had funneled even a fraction of that $9 billion into
a lobbying group pushing for, say, more interventionist foreign policy, the 'legacy media' might have covered it as a 'vital national security interest.' Instead, it was framed as a politically inconvenient truth, too 'woke' to touch. It makes one ponder: are billions in domestic fraud less newsworthy than, for instance, a single tweet from a designated adversary? What else are we not hearing
about because it doesn't fit the approved narrative or, worse, challenges the 'right' people?
