    I've read some of this last night. It is quite pathetic of how much of our media has changed. It is no longer objective news about social issues that are impacting communities. It is a hyper-yellow journalistic prejudicial propaganda that is motivated to create deep entrenched emotional reaction. Our news outlets create the culture storms we are seeing today.

      I've been following this train wreck of a story, and a lot of people had this pegged as a hoax from the beginning. He was walking the streets of Chicago at 2AM in frigid temperatures? Two Trump supporters just happened to be out and about at the same time, just happened to recognize an obscure actor, and just happened to be carrying a rope and bleach? Smollet waited over 45-minutes after arriving home before contacting the police? Smollet claimed he was on the phone with his manager at the time of the attack but refused to turn over cell phone records to the police which he claimed would corroborate his story?

      It just didn't add up, and props to the police department for diligently getting to the truth.

      Now I expect apologies from all those media outlets, politicians, and celebrities who used this hoax to smear Trump and his supporters. Yeah right, they're just going to bury this and pretend it never happened.

        On a positive note, race relations have apparently improved so dramatically in America that people have to fake hate crimes against themselves.

          Much like with the false narrative of the boys from that Catholic school. No apologies - even from Nathan Phillips. He still claims to be a victim. You are correct, it's always been a smear campaign from day one of His inauguration.

            The little fella wasn't getting the attention he craved, so it appears - thus far - he created his own.
            The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                  Right from the start he kept changing his story which ought to have been a red flag but the MSM ignored it and ran with it much like they did with the Covington High School kids story -- and for the same reason. As Joy Behar frankly admitted on the View wrt to Covington and why the press leaped on it: "Because we're desperate to get Trump out of office. That's why" So any sort of negative act that someone does that they can hang on him they will jump on with both feet.

                        Another false flag that the press and slimy politicians uncritically accepted and parroted. Because, well, they wanted it to be true...

                          As far as I can tell, almost all of the claims of the attack being planned that are being released are based on anonymous "sources" which this board normally dismisses. The only information actually released publicly, as far as I can tell, is the vague statement of the police that "We can confirm that the information received from the individuals questioned by police earlier in the Empire case has in fact shifted the trajectory of the investigation."

                          It find it a bit contradictory to uncritically jump onto the "it was all faked" narrative after complaining about the media jumping uncritically onto the original narrative.

                            Fair point although I think the fact that the brothers went from being picked up and named as suspects to being quickly released without being charged is rather telling.

                              Who said it was all faked? Though it does seem that it is falling apart, and not only because of these recent revelations - it made no sense from the get go.
