A "scandal" involving BLM. Anything to get their lamebrain audience riled up. They really are disgusting.

2. INFLATION! INFLATION! INFLATION!
3. Hunter Biden's laptop! (And if the story isn't Hunter Biden's laptob, the story is "Why isn't the LIBRUL MEDIA COVERING Hunter Biden's laptop? It's a CONSPIRACY, I tell ya!"
The war in Ukraine, and Putin's war crimes? Never HEARD of it.
I swear, the state-propaganda radio channel in North Korea isn't as subversive as Fox News; and Fox News isn't even run by a STATE! Just a bunch of plutocrats, and a mass of morons who are more than happy to be conned by them.

I work in non-profits, and transparency is one of the most important things about what we do. When we raise money, the funds go to the very clear thing we say we are raising the money for. We are clear about our mission and our intention. We clearly present our budget, and if emergency funding is needed bc an issue crops up, which has happened, our board makes sure that we dont dip into money already raised that was earmarked for something else. We have to raise funds specifically for that. We have audits and accountability.
It does not seem like BLMGN had those things set up, and they were raising a LOT of money. Money that may have been misappropriated. Money that was raised and used possibly against mission. And the payments to organizations and LLCs controlled by the founders and their family and friends in the pursuit of those endeavors is self-dealing and VERY frowned upon in the non-profit community.
