As is often the case with the Elitist Media, the most important stories are at times the ones that they DON’T cover. Such is the case with two major stories tonight.
Bulldog Award winner Luke Rosiak is in the midst of exposing a massive Medicaid scandal, wherein the state pays people to go to beneficiaries’ homes to perform domestic tasks, or sometimes to hang out. Per the first part of his exposé:
According to a Daily Wire data analysis, Ohio spent a billion dollars on home health care in 2024, the last year for which data is available.
Since the services are performed inside private residences, there is no way to know whether the workers went at all, or what they’re actually doing in exchange for taxpayer funds. An infinite number of small black boxes inside a black box. Multiple signs said the service provided, and billed to the government, was sometimes just “companionship & conversation.”
As people have realized the United States government will pay them to hang out with their own families, northeast Columbus has seen its economy replaced by businesses that bill Medicaid. And Columbus, a city with the second largest Somali population in the country, has become, on the surface, the most unhealthy city on the planet.
“Well if the government is going to pay you to do it,” one home health operator told me. “People see it as lucrative, so they just jump on it.”
The emerging Ohio scandal displays certain parallels with Minnesota, including the specific role of immigrant communities from zero-trust societies in the fleecing of the federal government. The Ohio exposé, similar to Minnesota, is as much about fraud and abuse as it is a cautionary tale of what happens when you recklessly import the Third World into the United States.
The Minnesota fraud took a while before the networks got around to covering it. Such is the case with Ohio, with zero coverage from ABC, CBS or NBC since the story broke.
Likewise, the network news had no time for the FBI raid of the offices of Sen. L. Louise Lucas, Virginia's powerful Senate President Pro Tempore. Per her local CBS affiliate (Portsmouth, VA):
PORTSMOUTH, Va. — State Sen. L. Louise Lucas' business office in Portsmouth was raided by the FBI Wednesday morning in what sources have described as a corruption investigation.
The New York Times cites anonymous sources who said the search was in connection with an investigation opened during the Biden administration, which is examining "possible corruption and bribery related to marijuana dispensary businesses."
The Norfolk FBI office only confirmed it executed a court-authorized federal search warrant in Portsmouth, but did not elaborate.
The report goes on to note that a cannabis dispensary co-owned by Lucas was also searched by federal law enforcement.
Lucas, of course, played a key role in the recent Virginia redistricting that flips four U.S. House seats to the Democrats. The redistricting effort was widely covered by the networks, so why go silent now?
One big reason is because the Lucas investigation, initiated during the Biden administration, doesn’t fall within the media’s preferred “Trump’s weaponization of the DoJ” narrative. Some may try to complain about that in hopes of getting that angle going- just not credibly.
The exclusion of these stories is a powerful reminder that the Elitist Media’s bias by omission is at least as bad, if not worse, than the usual bias by commission we see around here.
