People want to know; is Smollett lying?

In case you haven't heard a black actor claims that two people--he can't identify their race or sex--attacked him, broke his rib, poured bleach over him, and put a rope around his neck in Chicago at 0200 hours while telling him that he was in "MAGA country".

If he was attacked then the police should do everything they can to find and arrest the scum who attacked Smollett.

The problem is that since the media has lied so often about hate crimes it's hard to know if this one is real or fake.

From  2007 to early 2016 Breitbart compiled a list of 100 fake hate crimes--with links for everyone of them so you can check them yourself.

Further we've seen that the media will lie through it's teeth if by lying they can attack Trump.

Which means that a lot of people are going to question Smollett's honesty.  That's really bad if Smollett was in fact attacked but it's the natural result of the #FakeNews media constantly lying to us and acting as though fake hate crimes were real.

As of now there are some things that seem to call into question whether or not Smollett's account is true:

1) When first interviewed by the police he didn't mention the "MAGA country" comment but then revised his story later
2) His description is of a random encounter so why would his attackers be carrying around bleach at 0200 at night?
3) His manager now says he was on the phone with Smollett but Smollett refuses to let the cops have access to his phone to confirm that
4) There are reports that he didn't look beaten up when others saw him right after the supposed assault.

Now all of those could be explained but the fact that we know that the #FakeNews media lies all the time means that if Smollett was attacked he's not getting the support and sympathy he deserves because we can't trust the media when it comes to stories that hurt Trump or his supporters.

That's why a lying press is not the free press that the Constitution calls for.  We can't ban lies by the media but we need to call out the media when it says those of us who point out lies by the media are going against the First Amendment; you know the one that doesn't protect what the #FakeNews media calls "hate" speech.
