Likewise, MSNBC spend exactly 0 seconds covering smollet on their 8pm, 9pm, and 10pm shows last night.

As ive pointed out in this thread, the media is a joke and cannot be trusted

They spent about 20 minutes about it this morning on Morning Joe.

Considering this story has been a non-issue for me from when it was first reported, I'm glad they didn't waste anytime about this. Smollett should go to jail and pay a big penalty for what he did.

For what it’s worth, I’d argue that “domestic terrorist plot” should knock “celebrity files false police report” out of the news almost entirely.

Actually surprised he didn't flat out say the domestic terror plot was a liberal plant to get the focus off Smollett story.

Judge Jackson was having no part of it

I know you’re hot to prove a point, but this is simple legal CYA. One example had an identified perpetrator, one didn’t. The “alleged” language is just SOP in that case. If there had been a named or depicted party in the other case, the same language would have been used.

It doesn’t matter that it’s on video. “Alleged” is the legal fig-leaf that any media outlet is going to use until there’s a resolution.

Im not a legal scholar obviously so ill concede the point to you but i do not believe that is the reason for the language used.

It really feels dirty bitching about media coverage, but this cant go unsaid.
I thought some of the I'm not on either siders would have brought this up

It really is amazing to look back and see how the political press in America
absolutely showered the tea party with nonstop coverage after Obama was elected

Yeah. The media was calling the tea party racist and the media was ****ting on them 24/7.
 
geez, wonder why that was ?

The article didnt specify positive or negative coverage.
Although at that time in Tea Party circles referring to Michelle as an ape or spitting on John Lewis was seen as a positive.
Am I off base with that observation ?

..................

oh yeah, let us note Krgrecw was our first poster to invoke race in March of 2019

God damn you’re a ****ing moron. John Lewis was never spit on. You really do believe anything you read as long as it fits in your narrative
 
I mis remembered I am sorry.
We can feel reassured that he was merely called "******" .
While being spit on or at is still an unresolved claim.
And Mrs Obama ?

You brought this up in defense of lop sided coverage

Wow
 
Linked this same article elsewhere thinking it lends itself to a whole other conversation

Hannity was treated in Texas like a member of the Administration because he virtually is one. The same can be said of Fox’s chairman, Rupert Murdoch. Fox has long been a bane of liberals, but in the past two years many people who watch the network closely, including some Fox alumni, say that it has evolved into something that hasn’t existed before in the United States. Nicole Hemmer, an assistant professor of Presidential studies at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center and the author of “Messengers of the Right,” a history of the conservative media’s impact on American politics, says of Fox, “It’s the closest we’ve come to having state TV.”
