<p>Only days after smearing the Covington Catholic students with an out-of-context video clip and the blatant lies of a Native American activist, our illustrious news media yet again beclowned itself with the Jussie Smollett debacle. Many outlets somberly reported Smollett&#8217;s outrageous &#8220;hate crime&#8221; fable as fact, betraying not even the faintest hint of skepticism. Now as the story falls apart, and Smollett is revealed as a fraud and a liar, the media has been presented with a valuable opportunity for honest self-assessment. As always, it will decline the invitation.</p>
<p>Instead, we are now <a href="https://twitter.com/Julio_Rosas11/status/1097497349599911941">being informed</a> that mainstream news organizations reported the Smollett story fairly from the beginning. They weren&#8217;t duped, they insist. Hollywood celebrities and Democratic politicians may have jumped on the &#8220;Smollet is a victim of Trump-inspired terrorism&#8221; bandwagon prematurely, but not them. Courageous, truth-seeking, fact-finding journalists could never be guilty of reporting fake news. That&#8217;s what they are now telling us anyway, which, ironically, is itself fake news.</p>
