We’re going to go out on a limb and say the legacy media has settled on how they are going to ‘cover’ (or cover up) the Minnesota Somali fraud story. Instead of this being a story of rampant defrauding of American taxpayers for billions of dollars, it will instead be framed as a Republican partisan attack on the real ‘victims’ of the story - the Somali people.

Republicans seize!
— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) December 29, 2025
Like so many legacy media stories, it’s not the Democrat-enabled crimes, it’s how Republicans react to them. Thus, we get ‘Republicans seize’ or ‘Republicans pounce’ in the headline or story.
Posters laugh that such a blatantly biased lefty-written headline appears in a so-called ‘Centrist’ publication.

We know better than to trust AllSides.
It’s not centrist to call the act of Republicans simply noticing and exposing obvious criminal activity as ‘attacks.’ It’s just lying.
Who knew that calling out billions in fraud among a community with 3/4+ on government assistance was so controversial?

I truly wish more such communities would be “attacked” this way.

"Attacks" = "dude with a phone asking 'where are the kids'"?

Guy with a phone asking questions is literal White Supremacy

I think a more accurate term would be:

Taxpayer Supremacy.
‘Journalists’ hate taxpayers, too. In their eyes, we taxpayers are oppressing those who engage in welfare fraud and other crimes that involve stealing taxpayer money. We're the bad guys.

Posters say Forbes deserves huge recognition for this ‘reporting.’
This is hall of fame gaslighting by Forbes.

Imagine the conversations among the Forbes writers and editors. “The billions in welfare fraud are really not important as a news story. The Somali population deserves it because the US was founded in slavery and colonialism. Anyone investigating and trying to stop it is racist”

Followed by a hearty round of congratulatory handshakes and self-important feelings for being anti-racist.

How long do we think they sit around thinking about ways to skew these headlines and articles? It has to be a lot more time consuming and arduous than reporting the facts.

It’s automatic at this point. ‘Journalists’ already know how they’re going to cover stories before they start writing them. The facts don’t matter, only the fake narratives do. Oh, and the obligatory ‘pouncing’ and ‘seizing’ of Republicans. Can’t forget to lead with that! Everyone knows that's always the real story.
