MI-GOV: Abdul continues his daily scorched earth attacks against Whitmer.

238. You seem to be ignoring what Crains wrote and their speculation.

They also told you outright that they had no evidence to back up anything they were saying, it pointed out that a loop hole existed, not that anyone used it, they implied that she did, because Abdul said she did.

To me, and anyone else who actually read it for comprehension and not for confirmation of their own bias, it's pretty plain that Abdul was implying something he had no evidence to back up, and that Crain's was indulging the speculation and also failed to back up anything, which is the issue here.

What we did have was proof that the loophole was used by Abdul, and his buddy and dark money pacs who channeled money into amplifying his baseless speculation.

Suppose that Abdul or Crains had said something they had evidence of, rather than rank speculation of something they could not back up, which was intended to smear Abdul's opponent and nothing more.

Imagine if integrity, journalism or critical thought was engaged here! Sadly, we have to because neither party actually did anything but spread propaganda and smears they could not back up to try to take out the woman whose record proves that she wasn't treating BCBS any more favorably than any other company or entity, her voting record was against them in many cases.

I know, asking a desperate politician working on a negative smear campaign of tired old attacks based on nothing because he was in 3rd place, and a media outlet that wasn't too great at doing their actual homework is just too much in this day and age.

Luckily, Michiganders were not fooled by this BS and voted in record numbers for the candidate who wasn't lying, who wasn't smearing and who has actually been on the ground fighting the progressive fight.

I'm sure Crain's will figure out how to do their damned job now they don't have to be elevating Abdul as the rest of the national media have been, while ignoring his tactics or pretending he had a point, when they missed that he was simply projecting. He was helped and helped the GOP with his incessant negative and baseless attacks, and this is a pattern we've seen quite a bit.

He pledged to march in lockstep and do all he could to help her get elected, I'll take him at his word and observe his actions, to see how much integrity he's got. I was hopeful about his candidacy before I learned more about him, so I'm skeptical.

Also, you might wish to learn what Crain's bias is and why they were doing what they were doing.
