In a scandalous example of corrupt media supporting the Obama agenda, a mainstream newspaper reporter simultaneously wrote “objective news” about the First Lady’s contentious public school lunch program while secretly promoting it for a district, a Judicial Watch probe has found.
It involves a small public school district in Weston Wisconsin. Last month a student at the high school, D.C. Everest High, organized a boycott of the new and despised school lunch, which is part of Michelle Obama’s $4.5 billion law (Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act) to combat childhood obesity and end childhood hunger in low-income neighborhoods. The student, a senior who is also the editor-in-chief of the school newspaper, organized a successful boycott that got enough media coverage to catch the feds’ attention.
When officials from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the agency responsible for implementing the First Lady’s costly law, contacted the small school in a tiny Wisconsin town, Judicial Watch launched an investigation. It appeared in news reports as if the administration was attempting to silence or intimidate the students from expressing their disdain for the federally-mandated, low-calorie lunches that kids nationwide have called disgusting and repulsive.

This has ignited fury among students and parents nationwide as well as a few media outlets, though we’ve seen plenty of evidence that much of the coverage has been less than objective. In the Wisconsin case, a reporter covering the story for Gannett, the nation’s largest newspaper publisher, was secretly writing copy for the D.C. Everest school district to push the hated federal lunch program to parents, documents obtained by JW show. The reporter, Michelle Rothmeyer, covered the story, presumably objectively, for Gannett’s Wausau Daily Herald.
