STUDY: After Hyping Fake Smollett Attack as ‘MAGA’ Terror, Nets BURY Actor’s Hoax Trial
Scott Whitlock
December 6th, 2021
 
In 2019, the networks hyped the shocking claims of Empire actor Jussie Smollett, that he had been attacked by a deranged MAGA mob on the streets of Chicago. Now, ABC, CBS and NBC are hiding Smollett’s trial for allegedly hoaxing the whole thing.

On the morning and evening newscasts, from November 29 through the morning of December 6, CBS allowed NO coverage of the trial. ABC managed a scant 22 seconds and NBC offered the most, a still meager 178 seconds.

ABC is the most shameless. On February 14, 2019, Good Morning America's Robin Roberts devoted a whopping 17 minutes and 52 seconds to her “exclusive” interview of Smollett recounting his claims. Roberts practically acted as a PR agent, hailing the man who claimed MAGA-loving terrorists recognized him on the streets of Chicago in the middle of the night and happened to have a noose:

[This interview] is the first time he's given a detailed account, an account that Chicago police have said that been consistent. He hasn't changed his story and also said it's credible.

So far, since the trial started on November 29, the embarrassed GMA journalists have not returned to the Smollett hoax trial. Instead, it was left to World News Tonight anchor David Muir. Last Monday, he offered this quick 22 second update:

From Chicago tonight, jury selection is now under way in the trial of actor Jussie Smollett, charged with filing a false police report claiming he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack, including a noose around his neck. He was later accused of staging it. Two brothers, former extras on the program Empire claim Smollett paid them to fake the attack.

No mention of Trump. No mention of MAGA country. The coverage on NBC was similarly unimpressive. On November 29, there was 19 seconds from Nightly News anchor Lester Holt:

In Chicago, a jury was picked in the trial of actor Jussie Smollett. He is charged with six counts of felony disorderly conduct, accused of falsely telling police in 2019 that he was assaulted in a hate crime. In a controversial decision, earlier similar charges were dropped. Smollett has pleaded not guilty.

NBC managed 2 minutes and 19 seconds on the November 29th Today, another 19 seconds on that day's Nightly News and one update on Monday, December 6.  And it’s not as though there wasn’t things to cover. Last Thursday, Smollett’s lawyers accused the judge in the trial of “physically lunging” at them and asked for a mistrial. The motion was denied.

On December 6, Today co-host Savannah Guthrie explained that the actor will likely testify: “The actor is expected to take the stand in his own defense. Last week, two brothers testified that Smollett paid them to stage a racist and homophobic attack against him in 2019. Smollett is accused of lying to police about it. If convicted he faces up to three years in prison.” This amounted to just 20 more seconds.

Surely, Smollett testifying should justify some serious network coverage and examination, right?

As noted earlier, none of the three stories on the hoax trial mentioned the MAGA country allegations, but they were heavily hyped back in February of 2019. On February 19, 2019, the MRC’s Bill D’Agostino noted, “In a January 31 segment on CBS This Morning, correspondent Dean Reynolds emphasized that the actor was ‘known for speaking out against racism and bigotry,’ adding, ‘he is also a frequent critic of the President.’”

On January 29, 2019, NBC journalist Miguel Almaguer reported on MSNBC Live that police were looking for “two suspects, apparently wearing Make America Great Again hats, though that has not yet been officially confirmed.” Here's the montage video Mr. D'Agostino put together back in 2019:

Soon the whole story would fall apart. It continues to unravel in court. Now, Smollett claims that the two men prosecutors allege he hired to stage the MAGA attack were actually, in reality, secret homophobes.

MAGA terrorists attack a Black, gay man with a noose? This story was always an example of “too good to check” for network journalists. Now that ABC, CBS and NBC have been embarrassed with obvious falsehoods, these disreputable networks are simply trying to pretend the story never happened. This is “journalism” in 2021.

"A chain of events—beginning with the death of George Floyd and culminating with a statistical analysis of Black Lives Matter’s claims—would turn the 44-year-old data scientist’s life upside-down. By June 2021, Kriegman would be locked out of Reuters’s servers, denounced by his colleagues, and fired by email. Kriegman had committed an unpardonable offense: he directly criticized the Black Lives Matter movement in the company’s internal communications forum, debunked Reuters’s own biased reporting, and violated a corporate taboo. Driven by what he called a “moral obligation” to speak out, Kriegman refused to celebrate unquestioningly the BLM narrative and his company’s “diversity and inclusion” programming; to the contrary, he argued that Reuters was exhibiting significant left-wing bias in the newsroom and that the ongoing BLM protests, riots, and calls to “defund the police” would wreak havoc on minority communities. Week after week, Kriegman felt increasingly disillusioned by the Thomson Reuters line. Finally, on the first Tuesday in May 2021, he posted a long, data-intensive critique of BLM’s and his company’s hypocrisy. He was sent to Human Resources and Diversity & Inclusion for the chance to reform his thoughts."

No surprise.

Google, Twitter employees flood Democrats with donations as companies are accused of censoring conservatives

Google and Twitter employees are flooding Democratic campaigns and committees with cash, campaign finance records show, as Republicans argue that the tech titans censor conservative voices.

The top donors from Google, which owns YouTube, pushed 94% of their total 2022 political contributions to Democrats, as did 99% of Twitter employee donations, the records show.

Individual donors at Google who contributed $2,000 or more for the midterm elections have given a combined $690,300 to Democrats and Republicans this campaign cycle, Federal Election Commission records show. The vast majority of that amount has filled Democratic coffers.

Those Google employees provided $652,600 to Democrats and just $37,700 to Republicans, meaning that just over 94% of those donations went to Democrats.

Employees at Alphabet, Google's parent company, and its affiliated organizations contributed nearly $22 million to Democrats during the 2020 elections compared to $1.4 million to Republicans, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. President Biden took in nearly $4.4 million from those individuals.

Twitter employees also drastically favor Democrats. Individuals at the company have given 99% of their nearly $15,000 in political donations to Democrats for the 2022 elections, the New York Post reported. Democrats on the federal level raked in 98% of Twitter employee donations during the last cycle, data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics shows.

Notice this part:

"The now-former employee was the only one not to answer questions, and they refused to be interviewed by investigators after their resignation, the DOJ IG's office said, noting that they do not have subpoena power over former employees, even those who resign during investigations."


DOJ Inspector General's office says employee leaked draft report to media, then resigned during probe

The Department of Justice's Inspector General's office announced Wednesday that one of its own employees leaked a draft report to the media that included non-public information.

The IG's office said that after they saw reporting about the leaked document, they referred the matter to the Integrity Committee of the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency for investigation. While that committee declined to investigate because there were no allegations against anyone under their jurisdiction, they subsequently chose another Inspector General's office to hold an independent probe.

"The independent investigation conducted by the other Office of Inspector General concluded that a then DOJ OIG employee was responsible for sensitive, non-public information from and about the then ongoing DOJ OIG review, including information from the draft DOJ OIG report, being provided on several occasions to various media outlets prior to completion and official public release of DOJ OIG’s final report, and that the employee did so without authorization from DOJ OIG," a DOJ Office of the Inspector General's investigative summary said.

Fox News later learned following a Freedom of Information Act request that the investigation the employee had discussed with the media had to do with the Trump administration's "Zero Tolerance" border crossing policy which led to mass detentions and separations of families until then-President Donald Trump called for an end to the practice.

Articles based on the draft report were published in the New York Times and NBC News.

That investigation included a review of the now-former DOJ Inspector General employee's phone records, which "reflected numerous and lengthy phone conversations between the then DOJ OIG employee and reporters at the media outlets during the time period in which articles were published about the then ongoing DOJ OIG review."

The probe also showed, according to the summary, that the worker "abruptly resigned" right before they and other employees "were asked to submit sworn answers to a questionnaire regarding the unauthorized disclosures to the media."

The now-former employee was the only one not to answer questions, and they refused to be interviewed by investigators after their resignation, the DOJ IG's office said, noting that they do not have subpoena power over former employees, even those who resign during investigations.

The investigation ultimately determined that the now-former employee violated office policy and federal ethics regulations. Because the ex-employee is a lawyer, the office that conducted the probe also submitted its report to the DOJ’s Office of Professional Responsibility "for appropriate action."

Through his attorney, the individual in question told the IG’s office that he "denies in the strongest possible terms disclosing sensitive non-public information… with members of the media."

"Nobody knows politics and policy like POLITICO"

Caught lying again.


Politico issues correction after falsely claiming Clarence Thomas promoted COVID vaccine-aborted fetus theory

Politico issued a correction after critics called out media outlets for erroneously attributing a theory about the COVID vaccine to Justice Clarence Thomas.

On Thursday, the Supreme Court announced that it would not hear a case challenging New York's vaccine mandate. In 2021, a group of anonymous healthcare workers filed a lawsuit against the state claiming that taking the vaccine would violate their religious beliefs.

Thomas, along with Justices Neil Gorsuch and Samuel Alito, released a dissenting opinion criticizing the decision for ignoring religious exemptions.

Thomas included a description of the healthcare workers’ belief that some COVID vaccines were developed using aborted fetal cells.

"Petitioners are 16 healthcare workers who served New York communities throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. They object on religious grounds to all available COVID–19 vaccines because they were developed using cell lines derived from aborted children," Thomas wrote.

However, among other outlets, Politico falsely attributed the theory to Thomas rather than the healthcare workers, running the headline, "Clarence Thomas suggests Covid vaccines are developed using cells of ‘aborted children.’"

"Clarence Thomas claimed in a dissenting opinion that Covid vaccines are derived from the cells of ‘aborted children,’" Politico wrote in the now-deleted tweet. "No Covid vaccines in the U.S. contain the cells of aborted fetuses."
