MONTAGE: WATCH THE MEDIA UNCRITICALLY ACCEPT ANOTHER OUTLANDISH ‘HATE CRIME’ (Jussie Smollett hoax)

When TMZ first reported that actor Jussie Smollett was the victim of a vicious hate crime, it sounded almost impossible to believe.

Upon leaving a Chicago Subway sandwich shop circa 2 AM one sub-zero night in late January, two masked men recognized him as the openly gay black actor starring in Fox’s ‘Empire,’ hurled racist and homophobic slurs at him, beat him to the point of breaking his ribs, doused him with bleach, tied a noose around his neck, before pronouncing “This is MAGA Country!” and fleeing.

Making such astonishing claims, the national media owed it to their viewers to give this story the circumspect coverage responsible journalism demands.

If only.

Instead the major media used their platform to uncritically parrot TMZ’s original report, even adding new details along the way (such as that the attackers wore “Make America Great Again” hats). This vicious hate crime, they said, painted a disturbing picture of America in 2019.

As Smollett’s claims have unraveled over the intervening weeks, it’s worth revisiting how the story was originally covered.

And they wonder why Trump refers to them as "Fake News."

When you’re one of George Soros’ flying monkeys, and he tells you to fly, you’d best be up in the air, screeching and flapping your wings and throwing your crap, and not asking questions.

The beauty of #FakeNews (for them) is they don’t have to waste time and money vetting stories.

Or, as in the Smollet case, spend two minutes applying some critical thinking.

But but... in theory it could have happened the way Jussie said it did and that is all that matters.

Signed, MSM, Hollywood, ACLU, LGBTXYZ...

In the Jim Crow South many years ago the same types of democrat thugs had a different 'choice of victim' they accepted the word of any white person against any black person.

Think 'Emmett Till'...

Now they accept the word of any thug willing to make up lies about traditional Americans.

Today's democrat thugs in the press do the same thing to traditional Americans that they used to do to blacks in the South. Same thuggy actions, same thuggy press, different choice of victim.

Yes, the current people at MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, Washington POst and New York Times are evil... as evil as they were 60 years ago. Democrats are members of a mindless group-think mob - - history's nightmares - back with a new choice of victim.
