are ANY media outlets, besides FOX, reporting on the Somali fraud in MN?

I’ve looked for statements and reporting from major leaders, as well as media outlets that traditionally cover “the other side,” regarding the [Nick Shirley] bombshell Somali fraud scheme. I’ve searched local Minnesota news sites, as well as the obvious (CNN and MSNBC).
Nada.
It’s rather staggering, to be honest. This story has the potential to be (non-hyperbole) foundational shifting, as far as federal funding, policy, and fraud prosecution goes, yet the media coverage from the left, as well as from their political leaders, is virtually non-existent.
Guess we’ll hear from Fetterman soon, and that’ll be about it.

Faux News isn't a real news organization, its a propaganda arm for the neocon war monger wing of the GOP establishment

Please give us examples of stories that were not buried by either the NYT, Reuters or CBS?

I’ve seen general tidbits about Walz from a week or so ago, but nothing regarding the current Nick Shirley story.
But again, the fact that it’s not the leading headline is utterly bewildering.

Wrong. It’s controlled opposition.

Yet another data point (as if we needed any additional) to underscore that legacy MSM “investigative journalism” in this country is dead.
Why WOULDN’T they report on this?
MSM is not a watchdog for the public, they are a guard dog for the corrupt establishment.

Regardless of your opinion on FOXNews’ intentions, it’s still considered a major media outlet.

Major failures by Minnesota’s Education Department allowed the rampant misuse of a federal program meant to feed children during the pandemic, according to a state audit report released Thursday.
The Minnesota Department of Education did not properly oversee Feeding Our Future, the nonprofit at the center of an alleged $250 million Covid relief scheme that federal prosecutors say is the largest of its kind, Minnesota’s Office of the Legislative Auditor said in a 103-page report.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Minnesota has charged 70 people in the massive fraud scheme involving Feeding Our Future. Eighteen have pleaded guilty and five were convicted last week, officials said.

Local? KSTP out of St. Paul has been all over this story. There is an entire section of their website dedicated to the Fraud stories.
Posted on 12/28/25 at 1:42 pm to Wellborn
Yes. OAN has been all over it and covering it even more than Faux News.

Again, neither one of these two “stories” is about the Nick Shirley bombshell video (that has over 88M views) widely circulated yesterday.
