The money is gone, the system shrugs, and life goes on.

Still no coverage in NYT, WaPo, CNN, or Minneapolis Star-Tribune of massive fraud being uncovered in Minnesota. The media's willingness to ignore stories that hurt Democrats is truly astonishing. pic.twitter.com/xZcZcbUSm9

Rushing to Ilhan Omar’s Defense, New York Times Hides Somali Fraud Scheme from Readers.
The New York Times recently dedicated more than 1,500 words to President Trump’s “Anti-Somali attacks” — but somehow failed to mention the staggering fraud operation allegedly being run by Minnesota’s Somali community, which precipitated the attacks from Trump.
The piece centers on Representative Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.), who has “long been a target of racist insults by the president.”
And while Omar and the Somali community have undoubtedly faced inappropriate attacks from the president, it is journalistic malpractice that the Times fails to mention the elephant in the room: federal prosecutors said last week that the fraud scandal could end up costing taxpayers around $9 billion.
More than 90 people, the majority of whom belong to Minnesota’s Somali community, have been accused of defrauding public assistance programs.
Without mentioning the fraud as a major driving factor behind Trump’s criticisms and the immigration crackdown in the state, the Times allows Omar, who emigrated to the U.S. from Somalia when she was twelve, to reflect “on the latest cycle of dehumanizing personal attacks on her by the president.”

Somalians are creating fake transportation companies. They pretend to take people to and from appointments, but not a single one ever has a passenger
