Breitbart ^ | 17 Feb 2019 | Alana Mastrangelo

Posted on 02/17/2019 7:17:28 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

Establishment media journalists and pundits uncritically accepted and promoted Jussie Smollett’s elaborate “hate crime” story, just one week after the mainstream media fostered the false narrative surrounding the Covington Catholic students, resulting in a laundry list of impending defamation lawsuits. Here’s 12 establishment media commentators and journalists who fueled the Jussie Smollett flames with impassioned and uncritical reactions to the Empire actor’s imaginative account of his supposed run-in with Trump supporters in “MAGA country” Chicago.

1. Eugene Scott – Washington Post‘s The Fix reporter

2. Don Lemon – CNN journalist

3. Yamiche Alcindor – PBS NewsHour White House correspondent

4. Joyce Vance – MSNBC contributor

5. Jamil Smith – Rolling Stone journalist

6. April Ryan – CNN analyst

7. Jemele Hill – The Atlantic journalist

8. Zerlina Maxwell – MSNBC analyst

9. Joy Reid – MSNBC correspondent

10. Karen Attiah – Washington Post editor

11. Amy Siskind – Huffington Post contributor

I saw on another thread someone saying a Fox reporter was doing it, too. I couldn’t tell you who or when, though. I have no TV.

Other than Don Lemon and the Commie Sports Chick
I have never heard of ANY of those people.

Which is progress, I guess.

Neither do I. I get my news from FR mostly. Nice not having a TV. Haven't watched since 2008 and don't feel I missed a thing.

2008 for me, too. Quite liberating.

Good idea. Someone needs to create a chart of false narratives against white, conservative [Trump] voters by hoaxsters and whipped up into a frenzy by biased ‘journalists’.

It ought to be easy to do on a computer.

The government needs to quit fueling our tax money to fund PBS and NPR. These outlets are nothing but mouthpieces for the Democrats and the left. I listened for just a short time to NPR this weekend and the reporting was anti Trump and severely biased and slanted. If they hate Republicans so much they can allow the Democrats and lefties to fund them, they don’t need our money.
