A video posted in the past week, claiming to expose fraud at Somali-run child care centers in Minnesota, has been viewed by millions of people. The scale of the reaction to the video highlights the way the White House seeds narratives, then rewards sympathetic creators who deliver viral content.

Can you please report on something using concrete statements for once in your pathetic wasteful fucking life? Those videos are nothing but creepy weirdos attempting to break into daycares over imaginary and asinine claims of fraud, the fact this isn’t in the headline is an insult to journalism.

Cheese and Milk that’s your name? Much of the fraud is going to illegals. State budgets can’t directly allocate funds to illegals so this back door way of allocating funds to businesses who then give these funds is given to illegals. Same thing is happening in Maine but through Gateway Medicaid

Once again, you are assuming because it's impacting Somali Americans that they must be "illegals". That is bullshit. You are being primed into this racist position where anyone who isn't white is automatically deemed as an "illegal".

It took you 16 paragraphs to mention this YouTuber has a long history of incorrect and inflammatory videos and 18 paragraphs to mention that local news reporting has shown that most of the sites he mentioned are actually operating as daycare centers. That should have been in paragraph 1.

Do a story on how denying child care funds over a single incident will drastically affect the lives of children? Hell no, that would take courage, integrity, and most of all EMPATHY. Much like the orange blowhard you prop up, you have none of those qualities.

The NYT loves to find euphemisms to give cover to Trump and the Trump admin. Participating in a trafficking ring is “bonded over their pursuit of women.”

Yeah, and it was completely false, & now daycare centers that cater to the Somali community are being burglarized. You pushed the story uncritically, & now you're running a followup headline that doesn't clearly state how the video was BS propaganda

How can the "paper of record" be so poor at writing clear headlines? Is it on purpose? "claiming to expose" Did it or did it not? Was it total bullshit? You do employ reporters, right? Your supposed to be a newspaper but I suspect you just carry water for the rich, powerful, and morally unsound.

Thank you for the clip. I’m so glad I deactivated Facebook and deleted Twitter. Most of my time would be spent arguing with people that fall for this crap.

An alt right hit job on something mainstream outlets had covered for years, coverage that included reporting on the dozens charged in relation to the fraud. The NYT was more interested in currying favour with the current criminal administration.

How long before attention seeking kippers (and their fellow travellers) start supplying similar 'content' to heebie Geebie News and like minded outlets? The Heil and torygraph have been inventing these faux 'outrages' for years Unlikely? How quickly did Blair incorporate the 'Welfare Queen' Lie?

This has been their playbook for years: manufacture an issue out of whole cloth, whip the sheeple into a frenzy about it, and then act in support of the mirage giving the sheeple their release. Rinse and repeat

Even if the truth comes out after investigation, ordinary people are going to go away with the vague impression that Walz and Omar conspired with the Somalians to defraud America of billions of dollars for empty daycares.

Trump’s flailing c***d s*x crimes coverup is viewed by 77% of Americans as unacceptable, but @nytimes.com doesn’t care about making money. 🤷‍♂️

Ten days since Trump blew his deadline for complying with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Four days since he followed his announcement of a “powerful and deadly strike” on Nigeria with a defensive “Merry Christmas” rant about the Epstein “hoax.” Zero “Epstein” headlines at @nytimes.com
