Breitbart ^ | 17 Feb 2019 | Alana Mastrangelo

Posted on 02/17/2019 7:17:28 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

Establishment media journalists and pundits uncritically accepted and promoted Jussie Smollett’s elaborate “hate crime” story, just one week after the mainstream media fostered the false narrative surrounding the Covington Catholic students, resulting in a laundry list of impending defamation lawsuits. Here’s 12 establishment media commentators and journalists who fueled the Jussie Smollett flames with impassioned and uncritical reactions to the Empire actor’s imaginative account of his supposed run-in with Trump supporters in “MAGA country” Chicago.

1. Eugene Scott – Washington Post‘s The Fix reporter

2. Don Lemon – CNN journalist

3. Yamiche Alcindor – PBS NewsHour White House correspondent

4. Joyce Vance – MSNBC contributor

5. Jamil Smith – Rolling Stone journalist

6. April Ryan – CNN analyst

7. Jemele Hill – The Atlantic journalist

8. Zerlina Maxwell – MSNBC analyst

9. Joy Reid – MSNBC correspondent

10. Karen Attiah – Washington Post editor

11. Amy Siskind – Huffington Post contributor

12. Brooke Baldwin – CNN journalist and news anchor

Yamiche Alcindor; is this ‘journalist’ any kin to the basketball player formally called Lew Alcindor?

And they’ll do it again.

How about a chart comparing these remarks to what each of these clowns said during the Covington MAGA hoax?

Show them a race hoax and they’ll stand on their heads to make it true.

Disgusting.

“7. Jemele Hill – The Atlantic journalist

“I’ve met @JussieSmollett a few times at social events and he emanates warmth and joy. I’m just disgusted and appalled that he has suffered the unimaginable,” tweeted an uncritical Jemele Hill.”
Is this the one with tampons for earrings? Now she is a “journalist” at the Atlantic? Who is she trying to fool?

I’m not familiar with all of these race hustlers but I’m assuming that many of them are black. Is that correct?

Smollett was pushing the hoax on GMA Friday morning and Robin Roberts never once mentioned that his story was falling apart. She just uncritically believed every lie and disseminated it.

Bad times for the Leftist misinformation machine. First there was the farcical nonsense of the Kavanaugh persecution. Then came the collapse of the smear campaign against the lads from Covington Catholic High School. Now there is the reversal of fortunes in the made up Smollett criminal complaints.

Is it possible this trifecta of lies will awaken the American people as to how they have been bamboozled and manipulated by the MSM for lo so many years? Will the perpetrators of these hoaxes admit their errors and apologize for their being a part of it all?

Uh, no, not likely. Progressivism exists on lies.

The Chicago machine is going to fight back. They will try to drown the charges, Fire the Cops, convince them it’s more lucrative to let it go, and on down the line.

I’ve seen it personally in other long run Dem Municipalities.
