You could tell from the skeptical, breathless way they covered this 24/7, including the GMA softball interview that they had serious doubts. /s

It seems media people are indeed that stupid

Everything from the time and weather, to the cheesy MAGA slogan, to the rope he wore to the sandwich surviving the attack and making it home all screamed FAKE from the first minute.

Justin Smollett is 10 times more entertaining as a hate crime hoaxer than he ever was as a singer or actor.

Robin Roberts didn’t “probe” a damn thing.

Well, isn’t that special!

Covering for softball interview.

Bleach in 20 below zero (did it burn his jeans?), 2am hit (waiting for him on one of coldest days of the year?), walks in his building with his subway sandwich in his hand (guess he was still hungry), noose still around neck (who would leave it there?).

Makes perfect sense. Nothing to see here...

“ABC employees were dubious about Jussie Smollett’s alleged racist and homophobic assault”
I really want to congratulate the professional way those ABC employees impartially disguised their doubts.

Ping me when this Juicy Smuglett is doing hard time in prison for this hoax hate crime. Anyone guilty of perpetrating a fake hate crime should be charged with double the sentence of an actual hate crime to stop this garbage from happening.

Anyone with an IQ above tap water knew instantly that it was all a lie to begin with:

1. "Homophobic" attacks are always fakes, 100%.

2. "This is MAGA country", White homophobic racists, complete with MAGA hats at 0200 in Chicago? Really?

3.He still had his Subway sandwich.

The question is, who are the powers that be that demanded this story get covered the way it did?

The media is all consolidated, there’s a reason they all speak with one voice.

Snort. Soooo, now they change their tune. It was an obvious hoax 3 weeks ago.

Whatever happened to the media’s employment of the word ‘alleged” when reporting a crime. When the story fits a liberal narrative story of a white racist attacking a black, alleged is never used and it becomes fact. When it does not in the case of a black attacking a white person the word “alleged” cannot be used enough

Most of us on FR were dubious by 3 posts into the first thread about the incident.

The incident seemed too scripted to be real. Turns out, it was — scripted, that is. Also, turns out it wasn’t a very good script, either. Too many hot-button embellishments over-sold the incident.

The corrupt lying press ran away from Michael Avenatti after he pushed the gang rape rooms with long lines too...

Even the corrupt press needs some wiggle room to push out liberal lies on the country.

I wonder what 'tipped off' the ABC 'doubters (other than their credibility taking a major hit)?

Maybe a hint was that Chicago is a 89% Democrat City? Or that the neighborhood in question is half black and half gay? Or that it was 15 degrees outside and the perps were carrying a bottle of bleach 'just in case' they ran into a victim? Or that black Nigerians are seldom rabid Trump Supporters? Or that Smollett’s attackers allowed him to keep his cell phone - and wallet? Or that Smollett wore the noose as a badge of honor for over an hour after the incident? What could possibly tip off the idiots in the press?

Next time ...- a "Smollett" needs to enlist the help of the corrupt ones in the Deep State... they KNOW HOW TO PLAY THE PRESS FOR FOOLS... WHILE FEEDING THEM.

Come on ABC - ask George Stephanopoulos - he ran a war room for Bill Clinton and he knows how the game is played.

An update, also from the NYP...

“Scenes featuring Jussie Smollett on the hit TV show “Empire” have been drastically cut amid the whirlwind of controversy surrounding his alleged hate attack, according to a report Tuesday.

The actor, who plays gay singer-songwriter Jamal Lyon on the show, was supposed to have nine scenes and a big musical performance in the second-to-last episode of Season 5, production sources told TMZ.

But five scenes and the musical number have been axed.

Smollett’s character is also no longer the focus of his remaining four scenes, which will now feature an ensemble of characters.”

From the beginning, this thing smelled like Jussie’s pet gerbil.
