Mainstream Media Responds to Nick Shirley

Nick Shirley ate the establishment media’s lunch by blowing the lid off the multi-$billion Somali fraud scandal that conflicts with its leftist narrative. No longer able to keep the story hidden, mainstream journalists have been forced to respond.

CNN’s Whitney Wilde tried her hand at investigative journalism by calling Somali daycare centers to ask whether they are fraudulent. Only one of them answered the phone, but that one told Whitney it is not fraudulent. Good enough for CNN, which implies that Shirley made the whole thing up. For evidence, they present Somali fraudsters dragging children into an exposed phony daycare center for the sake of their cameras.

Seriously, the liberal establishment passes this off as journalism:

CNN disputes that there’s fraud in Minnesota Somali daycares because they called a bunch of daycares, one answered so they asked if they’re committing fraud, and the daycare responded that they’re not

Not all MSM responses have been as humorous. In the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk assassination, Josh Gerstein of Politico suggests that violence might be employed to shut up independent journalists like Shirley:

At some point, the amateur effort to knock on doors of home daycares intersects with robust stand-your-ground laws

Other moonbats agree that it is time to “be mean” to Shirley:

Lunatic leftist is rallying people to be mean to Nick Shirley just because he exposed the fraud in Minnesota. She can’t handle that he isn’t buried in student loan debt and that he has a protective mom. pic.twitter.com/0JlU4QWWeM

Given the current mindset of liberals, no one should be surprised that Shirley has received death threats for exposing Somali fraud. Via Fox News:

Shirley described the threats during a Dec. 31 appearance on the PBD Podcast, and said he was warned he would be “Kirked,” a reference to the September assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

No wonder hardly anyone does real journalism anymore. These days, it’s dangerous work.
