any sane person is gonna side-eye that story

@Papermonkey Someone suggested that his character was about to be written off his TV show and being the victim of a "hate crime" would leave the studio no choice but to retain him. So ultimately Smolett is the victim of rich, white, racist, bigots of the Network...... give me a minute and I'll think of another way this can be spun to make him a victim.

what's going to happen is just Smollet is going to say "I'm sick and I need help" and then go to rehab

but, I don't think anyone's going to trust him again

If curvature is wrong I don't want to be right

Smollet isn't a random like the other hate-crime hoaxes

u hve fuck up name

he had national media attention and he's a public figure

he can't drop off the face of the earth like other culprits

our totally flat, two dimensional earth

which has defined edges that you can fall off of

what I think will really land him on hot water is that

fat earth

he essentially snitched on the two Nigerian guys and tried to get them into hot water

@🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞 damn im not a flat earther anymore

fingering them as the culprits without mentioning it was a hoax

mama earth is THICC

mama earth is a lefty

A lefty throwing their lackeys under the bus when they make a mistake? _I'm shocked._

> has green hair

doba

u coommie

dont try disguise me with ur bobs and vagana

like, seriously, fuck Jussie though

@Timcast I like the idea of mysteries. I always been fascinated and wanted to visit those places. That is a good idea, but I am worried a little that worried that mainstream media news giants would try to smear you as a conspiracy theorist if you launch channel on mysteries, thus attacking your creditability and maybe getting you removed or demonetized from YouTube.

he gets two immigrant dudes

gets them involved in some Zany Scheme

and then tries to leave them holding the MAGA hat or something, because they got busted by the cops

it's like an episode of Always Sunny IRL

These journalists inside these big media companies are basically activists in my eyes. They are pushing their ideology and will destroy anyone they can to make sure their ideology succeeds.

Just be careful.

@Dusty Morgan Part of it is just the trend towards advocacy journalism

that there is a right and wrong side in a story

@Papermonkey I disagree. The story will not be Smollett is an opportunist who tried to game the system for profit, rather it will be "Look at what Trump is doing to poor, gay black men. He's driving them to the brink of madness with his racist, homophobic, xenophobic and bigotted rhetoric. Stay tuned for the first in a 10 part series on the damage to mental health caused by Trump and his supporters over the last 3 years."

and the journalist is advocating for right

@CasualSailor dude faked a hate crime

Like yeah, they maybe will try to drop the story

or not bring it up again

but there's no way in hell they're gonna be happy with Jussie

like, nobody was very happy with Shaun King either, when he claimed that a white dude gunned down that black kid

or just say what happened
