Debbie Schlussel: All the News Fit to Cover Up: When Islamists Coopt Your Local Newspaper
Yesterday, I told you about how Michigan's Governor has apparently chosen Islamist Ismael Ahmed to run the Michigan Department of Human Services, with a budget of well over a billion dollars, including all Michigan Medicaid spending.
You'd think that the fact that Ahmed heads a Muslim-dominated Arab agency that DEFRAUDED (and continues to) Medicaid would be news, since he'll now oversee Medicaid. Wouldn't it be news if someone hired a drug-abuser to become the state's top law enforcement agent? This is the same thing.
But you'd be wrong. Today's Detroit Free Press has been co-opted, and reporter Jack Kresnak either didn't do his homework or drank the pan-Arabist Kool Aid. Either way he committed journalistic malpractice. Kresnak's article on Ahmed as the choice to run the MDHS is filled with gushing and glowing mash notes. There isn't a single mention of the fact that Ahmed's agency was raided this year for immigration fraud and in 2002 for Medicaid fraud. There was no mention that his agency spent thousands in federal job-training money to train Al-Qaeda terrorists.
I'm sure those facts are just not relevant. I mean, why would citizens of Michigan, Detroit-area readers care how Ismael Ahmed defrauded them of and wasted their tax money?
Ismael Ahmed blames me for getting trounced when he ran for Regent of the University of Michigan. But, unfortunately, I can't stop this absurd appointment. In this case, he's being chosen by an electorate of one--the cronyist liberal Governatrix of Michigan, Jennifer "Gran-HO" Granholm.
A bigger political prostitute than her you'll be hard-pressed to find.
