Nobody recognised him at 2am on a freezing cold night.
He would have been all rugged up and impossible to recognise. IMO

"Smollett has declined to hand over his cell phone to detectives, but police are not concerned by this due to the personal nature of someone's phone, police said.
Police also made it clear to ABC News that Smollett is not the target or focus of any criminal investigation; since he is the victim, they added, detectives won't press to obtain his phone."
abc news had decreed that "police aren't concerned" by jussie's refusal and that "he is the victim."
that's great reporting to get "police" to go on the record like that
This post is total BS.
I watch ABC and NBC Lestor Holt/Dave Muir
Both of them made it real clear they didn't hand over the phones.
As someone from the left, it smells like BS to me, I think that BECAUSE I watch the real news.
You know people know they are wrong when they can't make a point w/out lying, or at least exaggerating.
San Francisco crowned the ‘world’s best’ city to live: survey

Let me try and look into the future....
Its a Hoax, proven in days that come.
Jussie is backed into a corner and says he has a drug or mental illness issue, going to get help.
The left wing dem's, actors and their merry band of gay soldiers stand behind him because after all you cannot shame a mental person.
End of story
Now what should happen...
Its a Hoax, proven in days that come.
Jussie is charged with filing a false police report.
The President also decides to sue for defamation over the MAGA reference and his hate toward him (much evidence). Win or lose doesn't matter tie him up and funds.
Left wing dem's, actors and LGBTQVWXYZ's all condemn his actions and shun him, he loses his job and ends up working the very streets in Chitown he claimed he was attacked on.
On a side note I read where a local to CHI posted that area he claimed to be in at 2 am or something is a known meat market and not MAGA country but rather MEAT country and assumes a grinder hookup gone bad or something...just sayin.

So somebody highly famous conducted a bullshit story which the left wing media took at face value and ran the story?
Yes, the media are left with egg on their faces here, but, you can sorta forgive them for believing the source is credible. Though you would think they actually conspired with the accuser the way you mongs are carrying on.
And why is left wing media held to a MUCH higher standard than the right?
I mean they are all garbage but, Fox, for example, is nothing but a gaggle of mistruths, conspiracies, and flat out lies. Yet when CNN or other left-leaning outlets get something wrong, then we see an army of right wing loons all on their high horses (as evident in this thread).
It's laughable.
i don't think that's what's going on here. it's not that the left wing media is reporting it wrong, but failing to properly report newsworthy updates that cast doubt on jussie's claims.
it's a question of bias and, possibly, political correctness taken to the extreme
his god given name is actually the south dakota sidefish so show some god damn respect
again -- i'm not saying the media should characterize jussie negatively. keep the opinion out of it.
but just give us all the facts -- like actual journalists should do. imo, his refusal to turn over his cell phone (as well as his manager) suggests the possibility of a hoax. it is worthy of reporting, and again, in my opinion, worthy of its own headline
and btw, the truth is not cloudy regarding the cell phone part. police have come out and said that
It's a whole different ballgame over there when it comes to reporting on a live investigation. And the police dropping updates which make him look shady as fuck before all the facts are established is crazy to me.
But if that's how the system works and the left media are failing to go hard on something they otherwise would if the accuser was Alt-right. Then yeah, I can see the frustration.
Though we know Fox and the like would be the exact same if the roles were reversed. Only there wouldn't be the same outrage at the lack of coverage because everybody just accepts that they operate from the sewer.
CONGRATULATIONS DRONED SAMARITAN LOOKING LIKE A COMPLETE STOOGE, TODD THE GOD MADE U PAY THE PRICE
Rofl, the guy said i was "lying, or at least exaggerating" when i said that no MSM news outlet had a headline covering jussie's refusal to turn over his phone except for NBC (props to them btw).
I challenge him to prove i'm wrong -- i.e., just fucking google it and show me the links, and... crickets
Also tmz reporting today that jussie kept the noose on his neck to "preserve the evidence", which i think was a tine theory for his explanation so well done.
Also only someone who is lying would think like that so there's that.
I don’t expect you to appreciate the implications because you are foreign, but the fact that you are (correctly) equivalating Fox News and CNN/NYT is a very big indictment on just how far the MSM has fallen.
It is probably like someone from the US saying that BBC and The Sun are equivalents. I also find it amusing that Mumbles essentially just admitted that CNN = Fox News when he repped your post.
So this is where we are now in 2019. Even leftists admit that the MSM is equivalent to a trashy media company, that no human being outside the Bible Belt thinks is credible, that admitted in court they are not real credible journalists.

In general, the left has a very hard time admitting that "victims" of racism/homophobia/sexist/etc are lying, even when the evidence makes it clear.
Remember Gamergate?
All of those poor, innocent women in the gaming industry harassed by those evil white male misogynists just because they're female, and...
and...
Well, and it turned out to all be a lie.
One of the "victims" was a career scammer. The second "victim" was a psychotic liar -- and also a non-passable trans woman who was never considered "female" by any of the gamer bros in the first place. The third "victim" actually did receive some harassment -- but not because of her gender, but rather from friends of her gamer boyfriend who she cheated on with 5 different dudes.
Yet the exposure of these lies didn't stop moron SJWs from flooding their Gofundmes with millions of dollars of donations. I'm not even kidding. All three of these people got rich off their lies, and to this date, most on the left won't admit they got duped. This is how Milo Yiannopoulis came to prominence, by the way. He was one of the few really vocal people about how full of shit Gamergate was, and it was like shooting fish in a barrel, because he was right and all of the evidence backed him up. At the time he started crowing about it, he was an unknown.
One time I asked some SJWs on Facebook if they were willing to concede they got duped by fake victimhood of opportunists looking to make money off of false harassment claims. Some just outright denied it. But amazingly, others reluctantly admitted it, but still defended the entire situation.
"These women brought to light the misogyny and harassment women in gaming receive. So even if their stories weren't true, they're still heroes," said one.
Amazing.
The left is always held to a higher standard. Look at the negotiations to end the shutdown - the left was expected to use compassion and end the shutdown but the right was not expected to show any compassion. When Trump gave a DACA concession the right said “you care about those guys don’t you” as if it’s just expected the right don’t give a fuck.
But therein lies the probem.
If you call out Nathan Phillips for being full of shit in the MAGA Teens story, then you're invalidating all clams of racist acts committed by Trump faithful, and also casting doubt upon all victimization of Native Americans.
If you talk about that lesbian couple from Oregon who intentionally drove their 6 adopted black kids off a cliff, then you validate the alt-right rhetoric that gays cannot be proper parents.
If you admit that Gamergate was a hoax perpetrated by career liars and scammers for money, then you cast doubt upon the other valid claims of misogyny and sexism in the gaming industry.
If you focus upon the fact that Jussie Smollett is probably just a mentally ill person who made up an attack, then you're casting doubt upon all black or gay men attacked by Trump-loving, white supremacists.
So, you see, it's important to keep discussion of such topics to a minimum, because the general public is stupid and gullible, and we don't want them getting the wrong ideas about these victim groups just because of a few bad apples.
Let's not give any ammo to the right claiming that they're being unfairly blamed for things, okay? Because they are so guilty so often and that's frequently not caught or reported, so we really can't afford to call out our own when it turns out a victimization story is a hoax.
