The pattern is familiar. When a story threatens the political left, the major newsrooms move into blackout mode. We saw it with the Hunter Biden laptop. We are seeing it again with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and the Feeding Our Future scandal.

Under Walz’s administration, more than one billion dollars in taxpayer funds disappeared through one of the largest COVID-era fraud schemes in the country. Dozens of individuals have been indicted, and more than fifty have already been convicted. Federal prosecutors allege that some of the stolen money was routed to the terrorist group Al Shabaab. House Oversight is reviewing the case. The Treasury Department is investigating possible terror financing. And Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, who received campaign money from individuals tied to the scheme, was recorded pledging to protect their “small business” from shutdown.

Despite this, the Monday evening newscasts on ABC, CBS, and NBC gave the scandal zero coverage. Absolute silence. And when the silence becomes impossible to maintain, the next stage in the media playbook is predictable. The networks will finally acknowledge the story, then shift into protection mode and reinterpret the facts to paint Walz as the victim and shield him from political damage.

This is not a fringe theory. Last year, nearly 480 employees of the Minnesota Department of Human Services publicly asked Kamala Harris and the DNC to pull their support from Walz. They detailed widespread fraud, hundreds of millions in waste, and retaliation against whistleblowers. Their warning received almost no national media attention.

While the major outlets continue to bury stories that reflect poorly on their preferred political figures, the MRC documents every omission. With your support, we shine a light on the facts that powerful institutions work very hard to hide.

Thank you for standing with us in this fight.
