Comment on Vance says administration is pausing some Medicaid funding to Minnesota because of fraud concerns

  I was referring to the ridiculous video by this right-wing “influencer” who uses flimsy methods to try to expose alleged fraud at childcare centers in Minnesota. There is hardly anything accurate about this video.

    Interesting take.

      I think it’s quite likely that the US regime also commissioned this video and then promoted it with Musk’s help.

      They have been doing this for a long time. Another prominent example of such lies, pushed with enormous media power, is the false claim that Trump won the election against Biden, which directly led to the attack on the Capitol by MAGA fanatics on January 6, 2021.

      I don’t believe that MAGA strategists are overly influenced by social media in their approach. Rather, I believe that many of the apparent majority opinions presented on mainstream social media platforms are artificially created to suit their tastes with the support of people like Musk, Zuckerberg, and other media moguls, as these influential billionaires are united on their side and are well capable of accomplishing this.
