Telemundo found a way to report the massive fraud exposed in Minnesota by independent journalist Nick Shirley. In so doing, they reveal the extent to which Shirley embarrassed the media.
Watch as climate correspondent Vanessa Hauc quickly goes to the “far-right YouTuber” card, as a reverse appeal to authority against what she is forced to report:
NICK SHIRLEY: That’s just a simple question. Where are the children at?
VANESSA HAUC: This all comes after a video by a far-right YouTuber went viral on social media. In the video recorded by Nick Shirley, who identifies as an independent journalist, he says he visited daycare centers that receive federal and state subsidies but found no children inside. NBC News contacted Shirley to find out what time he visited the centers but received no response. The footage was filmed in the area inhabited by Minneapolis' Somali community, and has already garnered over 100 million views.
