Minnesota Daycare Fraud, HUD Billions, and the Media Problem

This episode of The Snark Factor takes a measured look at alleged fraud tied to Minnesota daycare centers, the media’s reaction once the story went viral, and what tends to happen when independent reporting forces coverage. Fingers Malloy and Sarah Smith also break down a HUD review flagging billions in questionable rental assistance payments, along with other examples of large systems struggling with oversight. The Snark Factor airs Sunday mornings on WAAM in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and is presented here in podcast form.
