Mr. Collins,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year – literally, a year ago last Wednesday – you sent out a message to MPR’s mailing lists asking if anyone had seen “white supremacists<\/a>” during the civil unrest of the previous weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know this sounds crazy. But it\u2019s 2020. And I\u2019m working on story now about white supremacists coming to Minneapolis to foment race war under cover of the protests. I need your help, and your friends help. Please refer anyone with real, credible info (not rumor or speculation) or sources to me at (I\u2019m gonna redact that)<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

As we go on a year after that request, and a week after President Biden reiterated the nearly two decade old claim that “white supremacist terror” is the greatest danger facing this country, it’s. probably not unreasonable to ask if you found anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A not-entirely-casual search of MPR News’s archives<\/a> indicates “no”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any chance we could get an update? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(I sent Collins an email. Since have it on absolutely <\/em>reliable sources the management at MPR News has told their staff not to engage with peasants, I’d be amazed if I got a response). <\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
