The News Media’s ‘Jussie Smollett Problem’ is Far Bigger Than Just Him, and It’s Helping Trump​



OP-ED: News Media's 'Jussie Smollett Problem' is Bigger Than Him
By John Ziegler ~~ Last night, the dam of media protection for Empire actor Jussie Smollett finally broke, as major news outlets suddenly decided it was safe to report that police strongly believe, backed by evidence, that his story of being a victim of a Trump-motivated hate crime is false. Report: New Evidence Points to Jussie Smollett Orchestrating the Alleged Attack
While his high-priced lawyers are still desperately playing the victim card, it appears that Smollett paid the two Nigerian brothers who “attacked” him (and whom he clearly knows) in a conspiracy to create a hoax. This is a fraud in which the mainstream news media might as well have been an unindicted co-conspirator. They, along with kindred spirits within the top ranks of the Democratic party, instantly went all in on supporting Smollett’s always implausible claim, subjecting it to basically zero scrutiny.
Since Smollett is black, gay, very anti-Trump, a celebrity, and, at least at that time, a hate-crime victim, whatever ability liberals may have had to see through his inherently absurd story was immediately stripped away. Those qualities, creating what I refer to as Smollett’s “Political Correctness Force Field,” acted like Kryptonite on the power of liberals to see what was always very obvious to us who are not blinded by the biography of the person making an allegation.... This loss of credibility has huge ramifications for the media’s ability to be taken seriously by Trump fans on nearly any other issue involving him. As I tweeted last night (to which I received a remarkably strong response), the news media, by lunging after these false anti-Trump narratives like spastic teenage boys with major impulse control issues, may even be unwittingly paving the path for his reelection.

Progressive Marxist Socialists will have to use someone else in their 'False Flag' commercials against Trump. The Two Minute Hate Campaign will need another ‘Soul’ to drag behind the Pick Up Truck.
I wonder if the lying biased Lame Stream Media could stoop any lower and with this incident it has confirmed to me that they can. The only way they can redeem themselves is for the police in Chicago to prosecute this fake to the fullest extent of the law. The MSM needs to plea 'mea culpa' and I am doubtful of this also. I am skeptical if justice will be done.
From the beginning, that story was a steaming pile of feces the second it was reported. Anyone with a half brain knew that. Which sadly eliminated much of the left.

Yeah, it's helping Trump, for sure. I'll bet millions of people will vote for Trump who otherwise wouldn't have, because of.....Jussie Smollett!

Is that why Obama won in 2008? Because some worker on the McCain campaign carved a B backwards in her face and lied about an attack? I'll have to check the exit polls.
