On Tuesday, Daily Wire Editor-In-Chief Ben Shapiro appeared on Fox’s “The Daily Briefing With Dana Perino,” and explained why the media was so eager to cover the Jussie Smollett story while totally ignoring an attack on a Jewish man in Brooklyn that occured within 24 hours of the Smollett attack and was even caught on videotape. Shapiro pointed out that the Smollett story fit a narrative that the media prefer, that America is racist, bigoted and homophobic, and that Trump supporters are awful people, while the attack on the Jewish man defied the media’s narrative because it wasn’t committed by white supremacists.
Perino began by referencing the difference in media attention between the vast coverage of the Jussie Smollett story and the absolute lack of coverage of the attack on a Jewish man in Brooklyn. She turned to Shapiro, saying, “We want to get your take on this, Ben, because you wrote about this yesterday, and it was pretty stark, when you look at the differences.”
