Three years ago, most American newsrooms picked Ilhan Omar - despite her crawling Jew-hatred and evidence of an extensive criminal past - to be the transcendent face America needed to fight bigotry and federal corruption.
Reporters apparently chose to lie about Omar to help birth a more trusting country.
The first Somali-born woman and the first female Muslim to be elected to a U.S. statehouse, Ilhan Omar defeated 44-year incumbent Phyllis Kahn in the Democrat-Farmer-Labor primary for Minnesota House District 60B in 2016.
Further, Ilhan Omar was legally married to another man at that time - and was in fact married to that second man from 2009-2017.What phenomenal headline material!
Two weeks later, on June 22, the Star Tribune finally - after three years of prodding - mentioned the disturbing, overwhelming fact pattern pointing to Ilhan Omar having been on an eight-year felony spree.
No outlet besides the Star Tribune seems to bear more fault for marching national disgrace Ilhan Omar into office, where she promptly stirred a global rise in anti-Semitism.
Fittingly, the media bookended this "See no evil" period of the Ilhan Omar era with more perfectly irrational idiocy: It seems the media chose to whitewash its responsibility and duplicate the work of other reporters to repair trust with its customers.
