The left-leaning media realized, over the weekend, that it made an error in not being more skeptical of “Empire” star Jussie Smollett’s claim that he was attacked by two anti-gay, racist, Trump-supporting Chicago-dwellers back in late January. But instead of taking responsibility, journalists with high profile outlets like CNN and the Associated Press flipped the script, blaming conservatives for “pouncing” and “seizing” on Smollett’s misdeeds.
CNN’s Brian Stetler was the first to suggest that mainstream media approached the Smollett case with skepticism, telling viewers on Monday that it was “entertainment media” and other online blogs that ran with Smollett’s story of being attacked, not reputable sources like, say, CNN.
