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

And that list is just the initial cell in body of liberal propagandists somehow still referred to as journalists. At least Goebbels knew exactly what he was up to.

This fruit wanted to achieve fame, looks like he succeeded. Before this, 99% of America never heard of him before. Meanwhile the remaining 1%, which consists of the media, are now collectively asking, “Jussie who?”

Fake hate crimes are depressingly common, but what is different is TWO nationally covered stories proven false and given NATIONAL coverage on the retraction.

It is proof of not just fake news but fake hate crimes that normally only get reported on a back page when retracted months later.

The best database tracking the hundreds of fake hate crimes is:

The latest excuse is “mental illness”. That he’s under so much pressure as a gay black man that he acted out what he expected. Or that he’s just crazy, but that doesn’t prove the racist patriarchy conspiracy theory false.

They ignore the many faked hated crimes done to further one’s political career or justify political demands.

He identifies as a gay black activist. It is in his PROFESSIONAL BENEFIT to be the victim of a hate crime, so he can be paid to speak, paid to advocate, probably do a few books. Oh, and he threw in the mention of his TV show to help his acting career, too.

He’s not crazy. He intentionally staged this to further his professional goals - and political goals, too.

On college campuses, they do this in order to justify segregated spaces paid for by administration, forced paid diversity training by all students, bias reporting teams with liberal bullies paid to be political officers, or cushy administrative “diversity” jobs to create some money for their political class.

This is a TACTIC by SJWs to get what they want.

What about Robin Roberts of ABC? Her fawning uncritical interviews were the epitome of fake news.

“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.”

That interview was such sickening crap.

TMZ was all over it, too. IIRC, I read they broke the story.

Leftists are domestic enemies of the US Constitution. They are universally racist and have the common goal to hurt or even eliminate the white race.

This is why they execute their information warfare campaign when a hoax is perpetrated. Their goal is to demoralize white people and have them submit to anti-white government policies like affirmative action. Policies like this are designed to hurt white people, steal their money through force of government and even cause increased death rates in white communities.

It looks like all the hate is from blacks towards whites at this point, but somehow whites must keep apologizing and perhaps even pay reparations for slavery. Sorry. I ain’t buying what you’re selling. You had a good thing going for a while.
