Another clueless reporter is *shocked* that the Jussie Smollett story turned out to be a hoax:.....
If there was a "national outrage" over the dubious incident, it was limited to gullible left-wing journalists, celebrities, politicians, and activists. The "narrative" only seemed "cut-and-dry" to people who were looking at the case through lenses clouded by their anti-Trump bias. It seemed made up to those of us who noticed that Smollett's allegations were outlandish, implausible, and riddled with inconsistencies from the get-go.
Yet even as his story started falling apart (which happened almost immediately), the national media clung to their precious narrative.
There's been much commentary in the past few days about the MSM's lack of critical thinking skills in covering not only the Jussie Smollett "hate crime" fairy tale, but a number of other bogus stories as well.

The stupid is what they think we deplorables are. Make no mistake they know a hoax when they see it. They think we dont. They want to believe they are feeding us and were swallowing it. Electing Trump still has them flummoxed. They are becoming more aware and its driving them to crazier heights. The beat will go on and get worse as it doesnt work.
They’re stupid, biased, Marxists, incompetent, lazy and haters, for $1,000 Alex.
Kamala introduced the Bill. Jussie got "attacked," and the Senate passed the Bill Unanimously!
How convenient!
BTW, when was the last time someone was lynched?
“They are promoting the lie”
Correct, they don’t “fall” for these things, they create them, lately they are thriving on them.
And the WaPo and others are about to find out 250,000,000 reasons why that is not a good business plan.
TRUMP JR IN 2024!!

Doesn’t look like we need new law. Old laws worked.
One can only hope the boy gets it all!
They're active participants.
They dont fall for them. They actively promote them.
why orange man bad
They aren’t “falling” for anything. They eagerly promote and spread these hoaxes. It doesn’t matter to them that they are hoaxes. They know that most people will only remember the initial allegation, and either won’t remember or will never know that they were hoaxes. That suits them just fine, and that is why they just move on to the next hoax without any hesitation.
They know it’s fake but are willing to use stupidity as an excuse. Time and again we’ve seen this from the Clintons on down. When caught they fall back on Plsn B: extreme stupidity.
If Jussie Smollet doesn’t do it himself, they will invent him. They are just as culpable as he is.
Any source of empowerment and/or affirmation just HAS to be true.
Why they just cannot let go of a narrative, even when shown to be fake news.
Because they have eagle eyes searching for ‘anything’ to capture and put a stronghold on their leftist agenda....they view everything through the lens of pushing “perception” regardless of facts.......put it out there and let it roll!
Cause they want them to be true.
And they want it so bad, that they’ll risk being wrong JUST IN CASE they actually encounter one that really is a *hate crime* that they can hyperventilate over.
