CNN is still making excuses for Smollett’s criminal behavior

DC:

CNN Treats Jussie Smollett With Kid Gloves After He Becomes A Suspect.

“Empire” star Jussie Smollett is now officially a suspect in his own hate crime, but anchors and pundits on CNN are still making excuses for the actor’s alleged behavior.

Smollett claimed last month in a TMZ report that he was attacked in Chicago by two white men who called him racial and homophobic slurs, put a noose around his neck, poured bleach on him, and shouted, “This is MAGA country!” After a long investigation into the alleged incident, Chicago police officially classified Smollett as a suspect Wednesday night for filing a false police report.  more here

24 Comments on CNN is still making excuses for Smollett’s criminal behavior

  1. If it were me, I’d be outraged about being deliberately deceived and tricked into supporting him by his lies, not making excuses for him, and expressing that outrage as loudly as I could.

    But that’s just me, obviously not CNN.

  2. Imagine if the Press were a group of truly independent journalists.
    Then imagine one outlet putting that CNN collusion story out there.

    It would be a pie fight melee that would embarrass The Three Stooges.

    And that would make me respect and trust them more than I do now, which is not at all.

  3. The local coverage of the Smollett story in the Seattle area right from the beginning revealed just how biased and brain dead local “news reporters” truly are. Air heads. Mush brains. Stupid twaddles. NOT.WORTH.WATCHING.

  4. Lemon claimed Smollett merely “embellished” his story about the alleged crime…

    In a sense, except for the “merely”, he’s right: JS made up a dirty lie and then went back to add to it. It’s sort of like taking a big dump and then tying a shiny ribbon around it.

  6. It’s not just CNN. At the doctor’s office, regional news was portraying Smollett as the victim (“what made him *do* it?!”) and saint (“shedding light on homophobia”)…
    …and completely OMITTING any reference to
    TWO WHITE GUYS
    or
    MAGA HATS

  7. It’s not just CNN.
    Watching TV at the doctor’s office, they’re also
    covering up the
    TWO WHITE GUYS
    and
    MAGA HATS
    aspects, while distracting and trying to make out Smollett as the real victim with mental problems (“what made him do this?”).
    DISGUSTING.

  8. “Empire” star Jussie Smollett” – Thanks, now I know why I never heard of this turd! Equal Opportunities Luke Wallet Fooker or Hans Solo’s no one gave a Fook.
    Actually Different Tim, I think Bubba will have Jessie ‘kissin’ the baby’.

  9. Don Lemon:

    Jussie was just acting it out. He’s an actor and was playing a role…it’s completely natural for an actor to act out. Walking on those icy sidewalks made him think of all the millions of black men lynched in America…His quick imagination took over and before he knew it, he had a rope around his neck. Somehow, what he was imagining suddenly happened….that’s the sign of a fine actor.

    Jussie can always lean on me, and I will always give him the support he needs. Jussie’s not a criminal…Jussie’s my bitch.
