How crazy would a fake racist incident have to be for today's media NOT to run with it?

What you got that even today's media would say, "No way. We're not printing/running with that."?

I'm at a loss personally, but maybe someone can come up with one.

It would have to involve a white male victim. Then there would be total silence.

I have no idea how you can come up with something LESS believable than Jussie's story.

And, they ran with that. Not as a, "hey, this dude made X accusation" story which would be perfectly OK.............but as a "hey, look at this horrible racist incident that once again proves racists are everywhere" story.

The only reason they aren't reporting on the attacks on Jews in their liberal West and East coast meccas is because none have died yet.

Did you hear about the Somali in LA that tried to run over some Jews leaving synagogue in October? I wonder why?

Not only did the media run fully with it, the ENTIRE Democratic 2020 field ran with it and haven't been held accountable at all. I guess Kamala got asked about it but she laughed it off

I would say Martian MAGA supporters but because of Space Force it would still be turned around on Trump.

Yeah, even The Dollar Store is racist.

They're keeping nice stores out of black areas

Can you imagine how often CNN would ask some Republican why they "believed a fake story about black misbehavior so easily" and then how often they would point out that it exposed an internal racism that they held?

That Republican would face the potential of being kicked off committee assignments and weeks of public shame

We need to protect journalists!

I guarantee that a white guy getting beat up by two black guys while they yell racial slurs with 50 witnesses and full, clear audio/video wouldn't move the needle for the public media.

Hell, there was a white guy dragged out of his car and beaten by a bunch of black dudes while they yelled ant-Trump stuff and the media pretty much ignored it.

It can't get any more obviously fabricated than the Smollett story. Anyone who took that account as gospel from the start needs their head examined.

No it wouldn't, try an African-American victim who was wearing a MAGA hat.
