Is it any wonder that American news consumers are at the end of their ropes of patience with the “mainstream media”?
Three weeks ago, when I first documented troubling questions, contradictions and doubts about Trump-hating, attention-craving actor Jussie Smollett’s absurd hate crime claims, few in the “professional” journalism herd paid heed. Now, with a grand jury investigation on the horizon, everyone’s a Johnny-come-lately debunker.
And everyone’s making excuses: How could we have known? Why would anyone lie about racism? What could have possibly prepared us for such a scandalous swindle?
I’m especially looking at you, Robin Roberts. You and ABC’s “Good Morning America” willingly played public relations agents for Smollett last week while his story was already falling apart and he refused to be fully transparent with investigators. Now, you defend yourselves by hiding behind a veil of ignorance about hate crimes hoaxes.
Listen and learn, addled enablers of fraud. Fake Noose is a sick phenomenon that has run rampant across the country unchecked. I’ve chronicled the self-victimization pathology in my books, columns and blog posts for years:

The MSM and Hollywood idiots care not at all it was a hoax, and when it is confirmed as a hoax they will simply bury it and will move on to the next hoax event and promote it with the same ferocity.
The hoax serves the same purpose as a lying witness; it is an opportunity to advance the narrative.
A lying witness is always best to the Left.
Yup. Furthered their goal of portraying Trumpers as evil for a good two and a half weeks so it was worth the effort. Some call it ‘playing to their base’. Others call it outright lying.
They have a fixation with the noose maybe they are having a premonition, keep up your nonsense
What is bhm?
Bone Ham Meat
Black hysterics month? Oh, history..............
The veracity of the story is of no concern to the MSM. Their “reporting” is merely a way to damage Trump.
They will say anything and everything they can to post headlines that put Trump and his supporters in a negative light.
Yes, this story and all the others have fallen apart and have later been found to be untrue, but the damage is done. The low information crowd gradually succumbs to the propaganda.
It’s sad he had to hire immigrants, because there’s not enough Americans to do the hate crimes the left needs to be done.
We need accountability in the media, the lies are corrupt, they need to be prosecuted.
Black Hoaxes Matter?
Yes I agree with rktman
She left off a particularly good incident: the black Air Force cadet who was facing being dropped from the school, and perpetrated a hoax likely to try to gain sympathy and create an alternate explanation for their poor performance.
Bkmrk
American news consumers are at the end of their tropes.
I hope we start prosecuting these hoaxes to the fullest extent of the law so this will be discouraged. Probably need to make stronger laws against hoaxes, in addition to paying expenses to police diverted from other crimes.
Thanks rktman.
