AllSides Media Bias Rating: Mixed
“Actor Jussie Smollett, one-time star of the TV drama ‘Empire,’ was found guilty on Thursday of staging a hate crime against himself in what prosecutors said was a bid to gain sympathy and boost his career.” (Reuters)
The right applauds the verdict and criticizes prominent figures who failed to question the story despite its implausibility.
The left worries that this case will distract from actual hate crimes, but does not support jail time for Smollett.
