Not according to the MSM and the usual suspects in hollywood. They knew what happened right from the start. And now that it's unraveling, some of them are SAD that it might not be true that a hate crime happened. Darn, it fit our narrative to a tee. If it isn't true, it will be so much harder to call all conservatives racist. Boy, I wish this hate crime is true!!!!None of us really knows what happened.

This is just another instance of fake news that should hit anyone with an open mind right in the face. But I'm sure it won't have any effect on our resident trump haters. The bat phone will have an answer. Just wait.
What I'm sad about is that incidents like this, which got way more attention because of Smollett's celebrity status than otherwise would have happened, give the Trump supporters and enablers free rein to dismiss every claim as fake news despite the evidence that hate crimes against various minorities and members of the press are increasing in this country since Trump's election. And, by the way, these same people seem to buy any ridiculous "statistic" Trump throws their way tying immigrants to all sorts of crime, drug trafficking, and violence.flockofseagulls104 wrote: some of them are SAD that it might not be true that a hate crime happened.
In the same bin as the discussions regarding the debunking of Kavanaugh's accusers, CNN labeling the VA Gov. a Republican, 1.5 million "voters" needing to be purged from LA county voter rolls, etc. It doesn't further the proper agenda, dontcha know.Beebs52 wrote:So. Where's the Smollett discussion?

You're not sad because a trump hating semi celebrity was so full of hatred that he may have set up this whole thing to bolster his delusion that the US is a racist, homophobic etc... culture?silverscreenselect wrote:What I'm sad about is that incidents like this, which got way more attention because of Smollett's celebrity status than otherwise would have happened, give the Trump supporters and enablers free rein to dismiss every claim as fake news despite the evidence that hate crimes against various minorities and members of the press are increasing in this country since Trump's election.

I'm sure that he's in a better position than you to judge the amount of racial and homophobic animosity he's had to put up with over the years. (including a letter addressed to him sent to the set of his show a few days before the attack incident that said "Die black fag.")flockofseagulls104 wrote: he may have set up this whole thing to bolster his delusion that the US is a racist, homophobic etc... culture?

Funny that you never get upset when right wingers, including right wing news sources, fast track spurious dirt about liberals (e.g., Pizzagate). Look how long it took the "story" about AOC having her boyfriend on the government payroll (something that never happened) to make the rounds.

It didn't take long for right wingers to question whether Kamala Harris was eligible to run for President either. If this story is familiar, it's because Donald Trump spent five years peddling the notion that Obama was not native born.

I guess the first "false" narrative was the Covington High School incident, one that eventually proved to be considerably more accurate than not (although not complete), although the right wing smear machine tried their best to destroy it (it doesn't take much to convince Trump enablers like you Flock).flockofseagulls104 wrote: a false narrative for the 2nd time in one month, just because it's anti trump.
The right wingers you so often complain about exist only in your distressed brain. Pizzagate? AOCs boyfriend? And you are still defending the MSM on the slandering of the Covington kids? Whoo boy. You are really scraping the bottom if the barrel trying to hide from the truth.silverscreenselect wrote:I guess the first "false" narrative was the Covington High School incident, one that eventually proved to be considerably more accurate than not (although not complete), although the right wing smear machine tried their best to destroy it (it doesn't take much to convince Trump enablers like you Flock).flockofseagulls104 wrote: a false narrative for the 2nd time in one month, just because it's anti trump.
What I pointed out was that going "ape shit" is not the exclusive property of the Hollywood elite. Right wingers spread their fabrications around with equal gusto, and those stories also find their way into the mainstream media as well. But you never get upset about that or about the non-stop stream of lies coming out of the mouth of Donald Trump on a daily basis.
I await your next witty Batphone retort.
