CBS ‘News’ Touts Stale Stories in Sad Bid to Appear Relevant in Covering Minnesota Somali Fraud Scandal – Twitchy

Revelations about the massive Somali fraud in Minnesota are dropping by the minute, but CBS ‘News’ wants you to know its ‘journalists’ are on top of this quickly developing story that they haven’t reported on in more than a week. Apparently, the latest news about billions in fraud involving fake daycares and healthcare offices doesn’t warrant any fresh attention. It’s American taxpayer money that’s being stolen. We Americans demand a little less ‘conversation’ and a whole lot more action than what CBS ‘News’ is giving us.

Here’s CBS ‘News’ trying to stay relevant. (READ)

Lots of conversation on here about the massive fraud in Minnesota. Read all our reporting right here: https://t.co/VbUBGkjhuh

The “Minnesota” fraudsters. Can’t bring yourselves to tell the truth can you?

“Somali fraudsters”…fixed it for ya.

You don’t expect CBS ‘News’ to actually point fingers at who is responsible for the fraud, do you?

CBS ‘News’ is proud of its long-distance reporting.

I did as you suggested – I started with your article posted December 11, 2025. What I read was the details in your article came from a federal trial. Or in other words, CBS took the work of others and wrote about it. Why didn’t CBS investigate this themselves?

Wait, and waste valuable resources putting feet on the ground, and accidentally break the even bigger story? Can’t have that happening.

Posters noticed that CBS ‘News’ posted its latest coverage, which was more than a week old. The story has evolved since then.

This isn’t the fraud every one is now talking about.

Your most recent story is from December 20th and it’s about Walz denying the fraud. pic.twitter.com/ASUhlQ4XWh

Riding the coattails with their stale slop!

They interrupted our conversation to call attention to a pitiful, stale collection of underwhelming stories, and for the life of me, I can’t understand why.

‘News’ is 3/4 ‘new.’ Don’t try to pass off your stale stories as news, CBS.

CBS ‘News’ has done some surface reporting of the fraud, but conspicuously took a holiday of sorts from June 2024 to mid-November 2024. Hmm, wonder what was going on then?

CBS has done a lot of reporting on Minnesota fraud but notice the pause from June 14, 2024 to November 19, 2024.

I wonder what was going on then that made them decide to pause the reporting on Minnesota fraud. pic.twitter.com/K1al0Dhpwe

No distractions wanted – leading up to the election

Exactly, ‘journalists’ couldn’t let massive corruption in Tim Walz’s Minnesota undermine their 2024 Democrat presidential ticket.

Thankfully, the Somali fraud story has exploded thanks to independent journalist Nick Shirley. It’s amazing what can be uncovered when one puts feet on the ground where a major story is unfolding. Take notes, CBS ‘News.’ (WATCH)

This is what a real reporter looks like! pic.twitter.com/f7ncWs1Nhj

Why does it take “lots of conversation” for you all to report on something?

That journalist @nickshirleyy – armed with nothing more than an I-Phone – did more substantial investigative journalism than @60Minutes has done in decades should be a wake-up call.

Sadly, it won’t be.

I’m old enough to remember when it would have Mike Wallace and Sixty Minutes knocking on all of those doors.

You’re remembering a long-ago time when CBS ‘News’ employed journalists. Those days are never returning.
