CNN and MSNBC have continued to treat Jussie Smollett with kid gloves despite being found guilty Thursday on five of the six charges against him stemming from the hate crime hoax he orchestrated in 2019.The jury found Smollett guilty on the first five counts and he was acquitted on a sixth count of lying to a detective weeks after the alleged attack.
Plastered on CNN's website was the softened headline,"Jussie Smollett guilty on some charges." Many mocked the inclusion of the word"some," but the liberal network wasn’t finished with its bizarre coverage of the verdict. CNN pundit Brian Stelter’s media newsletter"Reliable Sources," oddly led with criticism of conservative media for pointing out that many liberal news organizations fell for Smollett’s hoax.
In fact, MSNBC's most-watched programs have never covered the hoax since Smollett made his initial claims and as his false narrative unraveled, according to Grabien transcripts.
