And tragic news out of the Golden Globes as Morning Wire, the number one ranking show in the hearts of all true Americans, was snubbed for the Best Podcast Award.

The award instead went to Amy Poehler for her show Good Hang.

The Hollywood Foreign Press introduced the Best Podcast Award this year in an effort to recognize creators beyond the scope of traditional Hollywood media.

The only problem is they gave the award to a show where a Hollywood insider interviews other Hollywood insiders.

We're not mad.

We're just disappointed.

That includes the announcement this week from Minnesota Governor Tim Walz that he's dropped out of his race for reelection.

In this episode, we speak to an analyst at the Media Research Center about the role bias has played in the legacy media's coverage of the sprawling scandal.

I'm Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley with Georgia Howe.

This is a weekend edition of Morning Wire.

Joining us now to discuss how the media has covered the widespread fraud scandal in Minnesota is MRC Senior Research Analyst Bill D'Agostino.

Bill, thanks so much for joining us.

So we have this major scandal in Minnesota dealing with massive social services fraud.

Legacy Media appears to have largely avoided this story, at least initially.

Then there's some blame shifting that's been going on since the response has become sort of overwhelming and they have to cover this.

Your team has crunched the numbers.

Can you break down the coverage highlights of CBS, NBC, and ABC?

Well, it's certainly substantially more.

Does this seem like a shift from CBS before Barry Weiss came on board as editor-in-chief?

Really remarkable considering that the allegations here are that $9 billion in fraud has been carried out in the state.
