Here is NPR attempting to un-rock the boat, terming the Minnesota Somali fraud scandal old news and Nick Shirley a provocateur. Shirley doesn't need to report "the other side". Indie journalists like him, Andy Ngo and the rest *are* "the other side".

Venez l'admirer dans l'exposition "Le Moyen Âge du 19e siècle".
