If they graded hoaxes like hurricanes

Laird Wilcox, arguably the nation’s foremost hate crime hoax detector, has had a lot to keep himself busy lately.

The Jussie Smollett hoax has finally forced the mainstream media to acknowledge what Wilcox and others paying attention have known for decades: The left has been shamelessly spinning politically useful hoaxes since the October Revolution a century ago.

Wilcox’s 1994 book, ”Crying Wolf: Hate Crime Hoaxes in America,” is still the standard in the field. Wilcox is no crank. His research collection is housed at the Spencer Library at the University of Kansas.

According to Wilcox, “80 percent of the events that happen on campus are hoaxes or pranks.” He noted, “It’s a place where consciousness of discrimination, sexism and homophobia is at a peak, and when there’s nothing happening, and they need something to happen, they can make it happen.”

I totally disagree. The media will continue to ignore this hoax. And instead they will create a new hoax. And focus on it.

It's all out of the Alinsky/Obama playbook of manufactured crises.

Wilcox’s 1994 book, ”Crying Wolf: Hate Crime Hoaxes in America,”...wow - he's probably been able to write a half-dozen new volumes in the last two years alone......
