I thought I heard something about a white supremacist Trumpie plotting mass murder and a court proceeding to determine if Stone gets tossed in the clink, but apparently those issues are less important than trumpeting a single case of a black gay man who may have filed a false police report..
I can approach eloquence at times, but right now "You really piss me off!" is the best I can do!
mal also posted a, "Why aren't the MSM covering this?!" whine. So ...
I saw coverage of this yesterday on Hot Air blog and this morning on PJMedia blog. I DDGed "coast guard", clicked the "News" tab and found coverage from: bunches of local stations, Star and Stripes, Fox News (national), US News & World Report, iHeart Radio, USA Today, CNBC, Newsweek, Bloomberg, NYT, Yahoo! News, MSN News, TheBlaze, NY Post, The Daily Beast, The Independent (UK), Heavy.com, Variety, The Hill, NPR, Navy Times, AFP, and BBC. Probably lots more. There's no lack of coverage, of this Coast Guard terrorist-wannabe investigated and arrested by Trump's CG, FBI, and Justice Department.
The MSM gave hugemongous play to Smollett's claims when he first made them. The coverage of the fact that it was a hoax is roughly proportional to the initial credulous coverage.
As for the "Conservatives Pounce" narrative, well, yeah! Slandered people tend to react strongly when the slander is exposed.
When facts "piss me off", DU-Moron
Atticus, the problem is you, not the facts.
