ATLANTA, GA—While Empire actor Jussie Smollett has been having a tough week so far, there appears to be a silver lining: cable news channel CNN has offered Smollett a job as an investigative reporter and on-air anchor after witnessing his skills at fabricating a story entirely out of thin air.
CNN producers were reportedly impressed throughout the ongoing saga of Smollett's apparent hoax attack on himself. They realized early on the facts didn't add up but were fascinated with how well the actor kept the narrative going. An HR rep quickly reached out to Smollett to see if he'd be interested in taking on a position at the news organization after news broke that the entire thing was probably fabricated.
"Smollett has exactly the kind of skills we look for at our fine organization," said CNN correspondent Brian Stelter. "He picked a narrative, made up all the relevant facts and details, and stuck with his story in spite of glaring holes in the plot. It's hard to find people who understand our core values here at CNN, but Smollett seems to be just the guy for us."
The actor has accepted the offer and is now undergoing training to learn how to weave even more intricate narratives ex nihilo, according to insiders.
This is hilarious!
Don’t tell me, let me guess. He is going to cover the “Fairy Tale Hour”.
Hard to tell truth from fiction. Had to look and see where it was from. Good thing I saw it was from the BB.
To paraphrase Bond, nobody fakes it better!
Black and queer liar?
I think that BB is providing some of the best reporting in the country these days
:)
Hell, he could work for any media outlet today.

Hell, he’ll fit right in.
Isn’t reporting a phony crime a violation of the law?
I wish some enterprising reporters would start asking Acosta and everyone else from CNN if they have plans to hire Jussie after his wonderful FAKE NEWS performance
This is Jessie Smollett and you’re in the Fabrication Room, where we make up the news and then fake outrage against those who didn’t even know they had done something ... first up, it’s getting dangerously warm because you drove to work.
I love Babylon Bee.
CNN doesn’t have the judgement to be on the air... or cable .. whatever.
This fake hate crime wasn’t even done well... They fell for it and offered the idiot a job - that makes them MORE stupid than the bimbos at MSNBC... think about that for a second...

Uh, it’s the Babylon Bee...
Jim has asked people who do satire to mention it in the headline. Liberals are nuts today - CNN DID offer a job to Flake - and to Brennan. There’s no reason to think they might not offer a job to Smollett.
Check with the mods about the ‘satire’ tag...
He should do a show with Al Sharpton and The Covington Indian guy - they could all be specialists on hoaxes and getting the media to run with their lies.
