Killing the Messenger While the Republicans waltz into 2026 over-confident the Dems are defending their governance and in NYC Mamdani extols the virtues and “warm” embrace of "collectivism” to cheers from the unproductive socialist acolytes looking for free money. Of course as massive fraud and scams are being revealed in Minnesota the mainstream media has decided to go after the innocuous Nick Shirley, a video blogger (aka YouTuber) for his boots on the ground door knocking exposing Minnesota Childcare and Healthcare frauds. One stooge condemning Shirley asserted that going out like that is not journalism. “Journalism starts ny making phone calls” he said. Who makes phones calls anymore? It’s not 1960. The basic complaint was that there has always been corruption and Nick Shirley was not telling us anything we did not already know and he is not telling us the right way. The biggest culprit in all this is Whitney Wild. A reporter for CNN, who went out and confronted Shirley questioning his motives and describing him to the CNN audience as a “MAGA YouTuber,” whatever that was supposed to mean. You can check out her feed here on Twitter. The responses are brutal and she may have to kill the account Every left leaning outfit is going after Shirley and let’s be honest why they are doing this. It’s simply because his simple report got more attention than any work they’ve done on the topic of corruption. On the last No Agenda Show you heard a news report from 2015 about the exact same problem. It’s style and approach, though, was old-fashioned, linear, one and done reporting. Shirley was viral with an estimated 300 million views. If you are M5M, this sort of news coverage is no good and must be stopped. It is going to cost them money. Instead of trying to figure out the effectiveness of New Media, which includes podcasting, the legacy media is just going to condemn Nick Shirley and hope that works. Good luck boneheads. |
