Can We Pause a Moment and Appreciate How Moronic Jessica Tarlov Is?
Matt Margolis


Jessica Tarlov, Fox News' resident liberal panelist on The Five, has demonstrated her lack of intelligence once again. When independent reporter Nick Shirley's explosive investigation into alleged fraud at Somali daycare centers in Minnesota came up for discussion, Tarlov questioned the scope of his findings while missing the point so spectacularly that I felt compelled to highlight it.

Shirley's investigation uncovered what appears to be a massive fraud scheme involving Minnesota daycare programs; we're talking over $100 million worth of alleged fraud. To her credit, she admitted that the scandal would complicate Walz’s reelection campaign and ambitions for higher office.

"It's going to get incredibly complicated for him, and I'm sure that he and his team are talking about whether he could mount another, you know, I don't want to say challenge because Donald Trump won't be running again, but obviously he's been considering 2028," she said.

She at least acknowledged that, even if Walz wasn’t personally involved, the scandal reflects poorly on his administration because it happened on his watch.

“I think that that will be more difficult when something like this has gone on in your state while you are in office, even if you're not personally involved in it. The program that he was talking about… which I've seen no fraud about that, that kids go to school and they get lunch and they should. Yes, school lunch is a good thing, sometimes breakfast too, even.”

Then came the real gem.

Tarlov actually questioned whether Shirley, working mainly on his own, could have genuinely uncovered the full scale of the alleged fraud. "Nick Shirley's reporting - there's no way that this kid walking around uncovered $100 million worth of fraud on his own," she declared.

“This kid walking around?” That's how Tarlov describes an independent journalist doing actual investigative work? The condescension is almost impressive. She went on to insist that "tons of people" have been working behind the scenes on this story. "There have been tons of people working behind the scenes quietly, including independent local journalists that have been exposing this," she said.

Did she not watch his 40+/- long video... He interviews a fellow that has done the research and goes with him to several locations to investigate. Yeah, I agree, the kid is NOT the brains of the operation, but when you meet the right people and do the shoe leather walking to get the story, he deserves a lot of credit. The older fellow that did the research is the real brains behind this, and deserves a heck of a lot of appreciation... but the kid had the nads to take up others findings and put a camera up for the rest of us to view (thus making it partially his findings too).

Has this dummy never heard of "beat" reporters," "gumshoes," or "doing the legwork"?

Anymore, these hacks just send a few emails or make a few calls, and publish whatever is put in front of them, no questions asked...Heaven forbid they actually leave their cubicle and hit the streets to do REAL investigative reporting like Nick Shirley did.
