Suddenly, Journalists Don’t Want To ‘Follow The Money’

“Just … follow the money.” – Deep Throat, All the President’s Men

That used to be the watchword for investigative journalists. If you want to uncover corruption, find out where the money is coming from and where it is going. At least it used to be.

Today? Not so much. At least not when doing so could implicate Democrats or upset the left’s agenda.

Case in point is the Los Angeles riots. There’s plenty of reason to believe that the riots are being organized and financed by unsavory characters whose mission is to foment division and violence in the United States.

Some of the money is likely coming out of taxpayer pockets.

Marxist Party for Socialism and Liberation, which has ties to the Chinese Communist Party, is said to be behind some of the protests, according to the New York Post. The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles staged a rally last Thursday to protest ICE arrests (but claims it has had nothing to do with the riots). That group got more than $46 million in federal grants in 2022 and 2023, as well as millions from California taxpayers.

“Another group involved in organizing the LA riots is the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), a radical leftist American union with extensive overseas ties,” says Heritage senior fellow Mike Gonzalez. “Then there are the ‘charities’ helping the rioters, such as Mutual Aid Los Angeles Network, Operation Healthy Hearts, LA Poverty Department, and Mutual Aid/Social Therapy.”

“Citizens United “ opposition was a rallying cry for keeping corporate money out of Republican hands and journalists acted like ti was a “grave threat to democracy(mayybe they hadn’t quite worked around to repurposing that phrase); certainly it was part of the “culture of corruption” hobby horse Pelosi rode around. By 2088, Democrats were raking in piles more than Republicans , so it disappeared from the news. Hardly new that they aren’t interested in following the money, including who financed E. Jeanne Carroll , who once again clutched her ill-gained funds, without evidence.

“Follow the money” only refers to Republicans.

Theoretically, journalists want to “Find the story”.

In reality, it’s just “Get Republicans”.

I bet that most of it is still coming from the federal government. Despite President Trump’s efforts to clean it up, too many judges have stymied his efforts for now to shut off the flow of money.

It has slowed a lot, but much more work to be done...

Why would the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party want to expose the finances of the intimidation networks of the Democrat Party?

How did you know I was a Latin King?
At age 24-27 I sponsored their dances in the Catholic Girls school, carried the liability for any death or destruction.

Over 100 worked door to door for Jane Byrne and the Latinos voted overwhelmingly for Jane Byrne to beat the Dem Machine a few years later, led by my protege.

Thats because since that time, the feminization of the media has taken over, and more and more slots are taken up by liberal feminist women and effeminate men, and they are direct supporters and friends of liberal politicians

And they are not going to out what their friends are doing

Thats exactly why the slant of the media is always silent on libs, and always finding a way to throw shade at nonliberals no matter how absurd or a stretch they have to make.

It all boils down to protecting friends, deflection, insults, projection and lies. Feminist manipulations.

There's very few real journalists left - most of them are biased butt-boy propagandists for the democrat party. When the coin of the realm is 'insider information in news packets' bribes and control take that form.
