Preya Samsundar continues to beat the stuffing out of the Twin Cities institutional media in reporting on Minneapolis DFL legislative candidate Ilhan Omar’s fuzzy marital history.
Only this time, she may have done it with the unwitting help of the City Pages’ DFLer-with-byline Cory Zurowski:
Whether or not Mr. Zurowski realizes it, he has shed new light into the Omar case. The story, which was originally published on Wednesday, October 26, Mr. Zurowski wrote that Ilhan Omar’s father is named “Nur Said Elmi Mohamed”. A day later, Zurowski’s article was changed and now Omar’s father’s name appears in the article as “Nur Omar Mohamed”.
Read the whole thing.
And then ask yourselves why nobody in the Twin Cities media is covering this story.
To use a Glenn Reynolds line, it helps if you think of reporters as Democrat operatives with bylines. Who, in this case, don’t want to be barred from the Saint Paul Grill.
Remember when the Mpls Star-Tribune rented an airplane to fly over Michelle Bachmann’s mother-in-laws farm in Wisconsin? Printed a photo of it in the newspaper and gave its address? I do. I don’t recall why Minnesota media was harassing mom-in-law, but they had some jihad against Michelle Bachmann and were trying to tie in the farm to something.
Curious.
Why hasn’t ICE even bothered to look into this? I’m not convinced of her guilt, but there is enough suspicious details to warrant a peek into the facts.
Also, bravo to Alpha news! We desperately need common sense journalism to counter the fetid feast of foul fodder felched by feckless fools at fucked up forums like the Minnpost.
If y’all haven’t signed up for their newsfeed, you should. These fine folks need support.
That is a funny typo to make.
If not a typo, it is a strange “mistake” to make. Just pull Said Elmi out of the air instead of Omar.
Corey Z needs to tell us a little more about how he heard Omar but thought it was spelled Said Elmi.
And then ask yourselves why nobody in the Twin Cities media is covering this story.
And if you NEED to ask yourself this question, either you are in the wrong informational pursuit game, or you’re an intellectually dishonest political hack.
DG,
Again – you need to respond to this question, and respond to it in detail, before I’m going to entertain any more of your comments.
Although this was too good to miss:
“Alpha News is right wing crap with a poor track record of fact.”
And your writing here, and everywhere, is left-wing echo-chamber fantasy with a solid record of pompous risibility.
And you are the last person on earth who should jabber about “records of fact”.
BTW, DG? I’m also still waiting for the auctioning off of Salem Twin Cities assets that you assured us (via your neighbor, the “expert”!) was imminent.
So – I’ll await answers on both questions.
See to this. Thanks.
“Alpha News is right wing crap with a poor track record of fact.”
In her chemically imbalanced mind, anything to the right of HuffPo is right wing crap with a poor track record of fact.
Which, like the 97 Philadelphia precincts that had zero votes for Romney in 2012, is a mathematical impossibility.
Dog Gone is the last person I would ask to “define fact”.
