本期播客邀请到23岁的独立调查记者尼克·雪利,他通过一段42分钟的视频揭露了明尼苏达州高达90亿美元的福利欺诈案,视频观看量已突破1亿次。这起持续十多年的系统性欺诈涉及日托中心、医疗补助等多个政府项目,而主流媒体长期对此保持沉默。
尼克·雪利的调查不仅揭露了明尼苏达州的巨额福利欺诈,更点燃了公众对政府项目透明度的关注。这起案件凸显了传统媒体的失职、政治系统的纵容,以及新一代独立记者通过数字平台改变新闻生态的力量。随着更多“尼克·雪利”的出现,美国可能迎来一场自下而上的政府问责运动,而这场运动的核心武器很简单:勇气、手机和一颗追求真相的心。
收听提示:完整对话包含更多细节,包括尼克在波特兰的调查经历、传教工作如何影响他的调查风格、媒体攻击他的具体方式等。建议通过原播客深入了解。
