This deserves a post of its own: the MSM protected Omar for years
Even though I wrote an earlier post today about the allegations that Ilhad Omar is guilty of multiple legal violations, including marrying her brother in order to commit immigration fraud, this article at PJ by David Steinberg on Omar deserves a new post of its own.
It’s titled “Ilhan Omar Happened Because Media Chose to Lie to You.” Steinberg is the writer who’s been investigating Omar for years, and trying to inform the press in order to publicize her history and the suspicious elements in it. All to no avail. He also wrote this post at Powerline that I linked to in my earlier post today on the topic.
Busy guy.
And if you read that PJ article, you can well understand why Steinberg is on fire with this. He’s been working for years on getting the word out, and has been continually frustrated by the MSM’s refusal to cover the story.
Here’s an excerpt from Steinberg’s PJ piece:
Three years ago, most American newsrooms picked Ilhan Omar — despite her crawling Jew-hatred and evidence of an extensive criminal past — to be the transcendent face America needed to fight bigotry and federal corruption. Reporters apparently chose to lie about Omar to help birth a more trusting country…
In the first hours after Omar was elected to Congress in November 2018, the media — literally, the media in its entirety — made a similar choice…
No outlet besides the Star Tribune seems to bear more fault for marching national disgrace Ilhan Omar into office, where she promptly stirred a global rise in anti-Semitism. Yet in finally covering Omar’s past, the Star Tribune did not mention the reporters whose work comprised virtually the entire case against her. Or that it had seemingly done nothing with our private offers to share evidence.
We were referred to as nameless “conservative activists.”
Similarly, the Washington Examiner — having mostly passed on our Omar story for three years until the Star Tribune deemed it an acceptable topic — flew a reporter to Minneapolis. The reporter published an article on Omar which was a duplicate of virtually all of our work as well. It was touted by the reporter as an “EXCLUSIVE”. The reporter praised herself on social media for flying to Minneapolis and finding so much evidence in just 48 hours.
Please read the whole thing.
It illustrates the old adage (well, not so very old—written 6 years ago—but oft-quoted) by Iowahawk:
Journalism is about covering important stories. With a pillow, until they stop moving.

but was it any different in the UK when the press basically let the wolves have the girls as their sheep?
This is how you create a social pressure cooker…
the lid is the people who cap the pot by not believing anything is wrong
the pressure is all the common knowlege people who know
like the amish teens that been beating people up…
eventually people either riot or take things into their own hands…
then the hero steps in (govt) and says with a lot more power we can clean this up and we give it permission to do things we would never give it otherwise.
wonderful people up North in Minnesota, I lived there for three years in the 1980 sold my snow blower and moved back to Texas. Those folks up there are goofy, Jesse Ventura for Gov., Al Franken for Rep just because, they are so nice and polite and when I left there was not one person I had a connection to and I am a meeter and greeter.
At the time I lived there Regan was in office and the news almost every day in the Star-Tribun was the plight of the homeless and what the Republican government was doing to the poor downtrodden. I never saw more white people in my life worrying about the black folk in the South, they knew the rednecks were about to kill black people just because.
While we were there they imported their own blacks from Somalia and all sort of churches were helping them, what we did not want to move we donated to their assistance programs and we all felt wonderful helping them out. The populist culture in Minnesota prevails and there is a worker’s party ethic that might bite them in the backside some day. They are such nice well spoken people.
Scott Johnson at Power Line attended a meeting at a large synagogue in the district before the primary (which is the election, since the district is very leftist). Omar told them she did not support BDS. She is now introducing a resolution in support of BDS in Congress. Lying appears to be natural to her.

I presume that this is a reference to the Rotherham sex grooming/sex slave scandal. If so, I’m agree with Art. How is this stuff possible? In Rotherham, it wasn’t just that no one responsible got the information, or that people weren’t paying attention.
Highly concerned people and parents were shoving the crime info. in the faces of the local and mid-level law enforcement officials and they actively rejected it. Because “Asians” are untouchable (in the Chicago mob sense, not the India sense) in the U.K.
If Romney were president, they’d still be protecting her.
“She is now introducing a resolution in support of BDS in Congress. Lying appears to be natural to her.”
It’s called taquiya.
I’m not absolutely sure of this, but am under the impression didn’t wear a headscarf up to the election, but has worn one ever since. Part of the Muslim practice of taquiya (or however it’s spelled) which means lying to the infidels in order to advance Islam.
If you take a look at some photos and videos on her 2018 campaign website, you’ll see she did wear the headscarf then.
Scott Johnson was on Tucker Carlson tonight to speak about Mr. Steinberg’s investigations on Omar.
One of the more shocking allegations is that Ilhan is not an Omar. The claim is that Ilhan’s family split or splintered and a portion successfully sought asylum in the U.K. using their real surname. Ilhan and a sibling of hers sought refuge in the U.S. using chain migration to the Omar family (already in the U.S.) which is not her real family.
Ilhan notOmar should face impeachment.
But of course, the democrats will never do it.
They are OWNED by the 4 mares of the apocalypse.
you hit the nail on the head tommy… that was what i was referring to
If only there were a Republican at the helm at DOJ, the FBI, or the White House all these years. Then certainly these totally credible allegations would’ve been investigated!
Manju:
If only you had a brain. Not that the DOJ, the FBI, and the White House haven’t had a few other things to do besides looking into immigration fraud, tax fraud and such on the part of one two bit one term congress critter.
She’s your millstone, chuckles, enjoy your swim.
“…your millstone…”
Actually. The entire country’s.
Though to be sure, there are quite a few who just love millstones…and can’t get enough of them. (They love ’em so much they aren’t even millstones.)

So why are you such a fervent supporter of the antisemitic party, manju?
One example that shows why many cannot trust the dinosaur media. Clear, blatant bias in favor of Dems/Progs. A Conservative could never hope for their actions to be overlooked.
One must start the indoctrination as early as possible.
This is how it’s done (and masterfully—insidiously—at that):

It doesn’t take too much of an imagination to see that the US is liable to being similarly targeted. (There may, however, be more pushback by more people.)
One must start the indoctrination as early as possible.
They don’t report the news because they aren’t reporters, they are journalists and they promote the narrative of the day. Remember the “journalist” website where all the supposed reporters would check in every day to receive their talking points and sound bites?
