Atomic Bob's Stock Forum - The Golden Thread

"After new evidence surfaced on Saturday that actor Jussie Smollett arranged his own alleged assault in Chicago, CNN's 'Reliable Sources' discussed whether the media was responsible for helping push his story. Liz Plank, correspondent at Vox Media, disputed that it was not journalists, but celebrities, who ran with the attackers' 'This is MAGA country' quote.

'The people who were repeating that quote were not news outlets, were not media outlets. It was repeated by, sure, people who maybe had good intentions of wanting to spread the story, and people who had empathy for what they thought was a real story,' she said. 'But we can't confuse celebrity tweets with the media and the press.'

In fact, many news outlets, including CNN, TMZ, USA Today, NBC News, The New York Times, and others, reported that Smollett's alleged attackers shouted 'This is MAGA country.' Media outlets repeated the phrase in their headlines and reports, as a fact and not as an alleged claim by Smollett.

Many journalists, including Plank herself, also rushed to 'spread the story' on Twitter."

A few observations if I may, Lizzie:
1. Just for general Truth-in-Advertising purposes, CNN needs to change its program title from "Reliable Sources" to "Unreliable Rumors."
2. There are no "journalists" in the libtard, FAKE NEWS propaganda networks of which you speak, Lizzie ... you talentless hacks are pathetic wanna-be "celebrities," like the ones you are now underhandedly trying to throw under the bus.
3. Your statement that, "The people who were repeating that quote were not news outlets, were not media outlets," is quite simply an obvious LIE. You, in undeniable FACT, spread this malicious hoax without any thought whatsoever as to whether it would be best to investigate its possible authenticity, first. Don't be a liar, Lizzie ... at least not such an obvious one, dearie.
4. No one who was spreading this pathetic hoax was doing so out of any "good intentions" ... they were doing it because they are deranged, racist libtards who hate the United States of America, in general, and white people, in particular.

5. Lizzie ... do yourself a big favor ... shut up, wipe the egg off your face, and start eating crow.
