After Nick Shirley's videos about Somali daycare centers in Minneapolis went viral, many in the media did the predictable "journalism" thing by questioning the integrity of the messenger and not trying to confirm for themselves any fraud that might be taking place.
As we noted earlier, lefties on CNN were spotted blaming Shirley, Trump, and racism instead of the Somali fraudsters.
However, CNN did at least head to Minnesota to investigate ... Nick Shirley. Clearly the CNN reporter was hoping to debunk and discredit what Shirley had on video, so the journo made some phone calls. The effort pretty much backfired. Watch, via @BigFish3000:

The CNN goober reached out to SEVERAL of the daycare centers featured by Shirley's exposé and ONLY ONE answered the phone ... ONE! Yeah ... and that one was probably being answered by someone in Governor Retard's office.
Maybe CNN will report that many of the daycares were so busy helping the kids with their "learing" that they didn't have time to answer the phone.
THAT wouldn't be too terribly surprising!
Super Journalist (Retired) - JOURN-EL of Skrypton (@Magnum_CK) ~ Our "journalism" laugh of the day. Wait for the phone call. 😂 This would be embarrassing for her if "journalists" were capable of feeling embarrassment.
So true. And that willingness to take somebody's word for it would NOT have been extended to anybody in the Trump administration or the Republican Party.
Yeah, but I'm sure this ding dong is more than happy to take some nameless, faceless person's word over the phone as the gospel truth, right?!
Jason (@JCNVV90) ~ “We reached out to the daycares in Nick Shirley’s video. Only one answered and they DID say they are a legitimate business.”
Oh, I guess it’s case closed then - great work CNN!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Monica Porras (@Mons24) ~ Nick shows up with recorded hard proof for everyone to see with their own eyes that daycares are fronts. CNN journalist makes a quick call to a daycare center and takes them at their word. What a freaking joke! Legitimately embarrassing. 🤡
There's just no beating the investigatory grit and determination of the "newshounds" at CNN.
Bob Dorn (@GoGreenRC) ~ 1 answered the phone and said they were legit. Beyond Parody. Too far-fetched even for @TheBabylonBee.
Thomad (@LundThomad) ~ Typical CNN journalism, we called one of the businesses and they told us they're legit, so its all good. What a joke! 😃
