Multiple posts at the DUmp today being all butthurt the media is actually telling the truth about the Smollett fake hate crime.  And now it's even better because they know he mailed the fake racist letter with the aspirin crushed up in it.  Smollett was all the rage a week ago and now they don't want to hear any of it.

To CNN & MSNBC: Do the IDIOTS making your coverage decisions REALLY AND TRULY BELIEVE

 
that your viewers need a tedious multiple-minutes-long timeline analysis of what police say occurred in the Smollet situation? And, is there no other news more worthy of your air time than a follow up panel discussion about how terrible everyone feels?

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!

I think Smollett is an idiot but I am truly amazed that this false claim is getting

 
more coverage than the white supremacist who wanted to kill the Speaker of the House, other Democrats and many persons in the media.

Just saying!!

MSNBC. has been covering it for nearly an hour! It's important but not THAT important. Must be a very slow news day.

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.

Stolen from a very smart friend;

" The Jussie Smollett case is what happens when the demand for racism exceeds the supply"

That is profound!

They weren't complaining about overexposure when they thought they could blame this on Trump.

The DUmmie is correct. The news that the 2 of the 3 top government officials in Virginia wore black face and the other one is an accused rapist has completely been removed from the news cycle. So have the calls for them to resign.
