I'm going to have to disagree pretty strongly with you here.
The Smollett case was a perfect crime for the woke crowd and the leftist media. It was a white/MAGA crime on a gay black man, because he was gay and black. The media were tripping over themselves to cover that story.
The same goes for the MAGA hat wearing high school students at the March For Life rally. Smirking and intimidating an aging American Indian. The media ran with it but never did the proper research to find out the truth. They saw a chance to ruin Trump supporters and ran with it. And they are going to pay through the nose as a result!
