What? But the media keeps describing him as an “independent journalist”! They wouldn’t just blithely report about him and his “findings” without doing their due diligence first, would they?

He is a farce cosplaying “investigative reporter”, reported from an actual investigator reporter. That he decided that bringing a recording device to a childcare center and a clinic, especially with the news about AI deepfakes and CSAM, is such a braindead idea.

Independent journalist? He’s a racist schmuck. Midas Touch and David Pakman are journalists! This guy is a Maga tool.

In an interview with Walter Masterson, his fucking mom had to step in to correct his talking points. This kid is just a parrot trained to recite his parents vile opinions.

Shocking. Most of his story has been debunked. Sucks that the right can’t critically think to condemn this.

From the looks of him, I’d say he’s the descendant of immigrants. Maybe he should self deport.

I’ve been getting Nick Shirley’s videos recommended to me for a good chunk of last year. If it’s a video and not a livestream, it seems like he only includes the people who don’t have the best answers to his super loaded, right-wing framed questions. Definitely comes across as a bad faith actor.

His parents are accused of defrauding a business of up to $1,000,000 themselves. His mother, the formerly accused, is his journalistic accomplice.
In many cases, they’re just throwing shit to see if it sticks, or making stuff up altogether.

The majority of White people who voted wanted this circus to happen. Of those who voted, 60% of white men and 53% of white women voted for the racist, fascist, sexist pedophile on November 5th, 2024.

Its wild (not really) that people don’t do research lol. When right-wingers ask, “Why isn’t Minnesota doing anything?” they collectively ignore that Waltz and his Staff have been investigating this fraud for YEARS now.

The only proof Shirley provided was that the daycare centers had locked doors, on some day of the week, at a certain time.
He didn’t provide proof that he visited them during operating hours.
It’s unlikely the centers would pay anyone to be there outside of working hours, there would be no reason for them to be there.
>All 50 states will have to provide additional levels of verification and administrative data before they receive more funding from the Child Care and Development Fund, according to a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services spokesperson. However, before Minnesota can receive child care funds again, it will have to provide even more verification for child care centers in that state that are suspected of fraud, such as attendance and licensing records, past enforcement actions and inspection reports.

>State regulators said Monday that inspectors had visited the day cares mentioned in the video in the past six months, according to the Minnesota Star Tribune, that there was no evidence of fraud at the sites during those unannounced visits,
[“The state auditor’s office found that “the threat of legal consequences and negative media attention” affected the state’s decision-making process about regulatory action against Feeding Our Future.”](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/minnesota-fraud-schemes-what-we-know/) That’s a quote from CBS about the reliability of attempts to hold that sort of fraud to account. Why am I meant to believe Minnesotan authorities have suddenly developed a spine?
The same goes for other times things like this are brought up. The article spends virtually no time actually criticising the factual elements of his video. It’s telling that The Intercept is more concerned about being seen as racist than by investigating fraud.

This story has been confusing af from a European perspective. So Minnesota has a ripe history of fraud say most, but not with somalians, except the somalians that were in another case a few years back, the fraud we see right now isnt fraud, but the state is still losing tens of millions to fraud
Like holy shit i havent seen one single straight story that isnt weaving like a skier during the Olympics. Is there or isnt there fraud?? Or is everything just bullshit. And non of that mostly bs or partially bs cause ask 5 people about this and youll get 5 completely different stories.
