Dems who supported Smollett were so wrong! (Although Trump was right)
By Kelly - Dec 10, 2021
Jussie Smollett has been found guilty on five of six charges for his staged 2019 hate crime hoax. Naturally the mainstream leftist media is ignoring it. CNN, MSNBC are downplaying the conviction, and using the verdict to bash conservatives.
CNN pundit Brian Stelter’s media newsletter “Reliable Sources,” oddly led with criticism of conservative media for pointing out that many liberal news organizations fell for Smollett’s hoax. Instead of scolding reporters and analysts who bought Smollett’s story in the first place, CNN’s media industry newsletter frowned upon the organizations who did hold the liberal media accountable.
Over at MSNBC, Smollett’s conviction was completely ignored by “ReidOut” host Joy Reid, “All In” host Chris Hayes, “The Rachel Maddow Show” host Rachel Maddow,” “The Last Word” host Lawrence O’Donnell as well as “11th Hour” anchor Brian Williams. Even CNN’s far-left host Don Lemon managed to cover the story on-air, but his MSNBC contemporaries didn’t bother.
In fact, MSNBC’s most-watched programs have never covered the hoax since Smollett made his initial claims and as his false narrative unraveled, according to Grabien transcripts, says FOXNews.
But it’s worth looking at who got behind him at the time – immediately leaping on the BLM bandwagon and accusing Trump of causing these types of racist acts.
