Large media companies such as the New York Times, the Washington Post, and most of the major TV networks seem determined that Black Lives Matter should avoid negative coverage.
This continues to be the case despite several bombshells this year regarding apparent financial improprieties by the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, BLM’s mothership. Here’s a handy rundown of just the major items.
>>> Black Lives Matter Continues To Harm America, Money Problems Aside
The Washington Examiner’s Andrew Kerr has broken several stories on the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation. Kerr revealed earlier this year that the foundation had spent $8 million on a Toronto mansion that had been the headquarters of the Communist Party of Canada. The revelation has angered Canadian supporters.
New York Magazine, a liberal media company that has decided to break omerta on BLM, broke the news last Monday that the foundation had purchased a $6 million California mansion and went to great lengths to keep it hidden. In a desperate attempt at obfuscation, board member Shalomyah Bowers said in an email to New York Magazine that the organization had bought the California mansion "to serve as housing as studio for recipients of the Black Joy Creators Fellowship … which provides recording resources and dedicated space for Black creatives."
Never mind that the fellowship wasn’t announced until the following morning.
It's also worth noting that not even the IRS knows where the money that hasn’t gone into real estate has ended up. As Fox Business's Danielle Wallace reported in February, the attorneys general of deep-blue California and Washington have ordered the foundation to submit delinquent financial reports for 2020, and the organization had to cease fundraising.
There's a simple lesson here: Black Lives Matter deserves greater scrutiny.
