Here we go again…
As reliably as children being fooled by Santa Claus, the news media has once again been duped by an obviously false story that fit their favorite narrative about race. Last year, it was the Jussie Smollett fiasco, on which I was one of the first media commentators to call out as lacking credibility, today, in a very different but similar story, we have learned that, contrary to an enormous amount of media outrage and moralizing, black NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace was not the victim of a noose-related hate crime.
For those who have somehow missed it, over the weekend NASCAR dramatically and declaratively

This is merely another example of what the Fake News Media understands to be what that discredited Walter Cronkite "Voice of God" pretender, Dan Rather, meant with his "Fake but accurate" defense of misreporting.

They wanted to believe it. They REALLY wanted to believe it. Looking back, how many years has it been since a real noose has been found? For years, every instance was a hoax. That's why I predicted this one was going to be false and it turned out I was right. I suspect Wallace will face no consequences at all.

No more rednecks. No more advertisers. No more money.
But they are so woke!!!

You don't want to be the one who ties a fish hook to his line. You'll be in hate-crime jail the next day.

The media was not duped-it decided to run an inflammatory piece without vetting it first because that IS WHAT THEY DO.

Why does everyone keep saying there were no pics of the noose? Saw one on FB, and the loop was about the size of your thumb, hanging down from what appeared to be a large metal door. If that pic makes the rounds Bubba, NASCAR and the MSM will forever be household words for “laughing stock”!

The thing is, even though the FBI found that there was no hate crime and we all know the "noose" was just a loop in a rope to allow the garage door to be closed manually, it has now entered the social lexicon that a hate crime was committed against the only black NASCAR driver. Further, it will become part of that meme that no one was ever prosecuted for the crime.

It's just like the stories about a nasty note left on a restaurant check - calling the waitress a N*** and leaving no tip. Since most restaurants have been shut down for months we're getting a break on those stories.

From the picture I saw of the 'noose', it might have been fashioned for a midget...is that the next item, 'midget hatred'??? To go along with Conservative hatred or History hatred?

Well, now we know what NASCAR Is made of. For some reason corporations cannot wait to jump on the social justice bandwagon. It’s a bad decision to throw in with a bunch of bullies. We all can sympathize with people who have gone through unimaginable horrors in their lives. Life has been horrific for different groups of people And individuals all through history. The ones who have been successful despite their history have been the ones who have carried on and thrived despite their past. It hasn’t been easy but they managed to rise above it because it is the only way to real peace and contentment. The self-respect and self-satisfaction that is gained defines who you are. Wallowing in victimhood because life has dealt you a bad hand will sentence anyone regardless of their situation to a miserable life. We all can find hope in this life but it will never be found when you are mired in the past. Forcing others to pay for someone else’s sins will never erase the past or heal your wounds. Looking for ways to be offended makes for a miserable existence because whatever past pain is in your life, will define you.

Media will use any item to hurt Pres. Trump, even if it has no credibility.
Mr. Wallace should have checked it out before causing this uproar but maybe he wants attention. Why didn't he talk to the owner of the race car?? Sure someone could have explained it!!

When one desperately wants to see racism in everything, one will see racism in everything; real or not.

It was the kind of story they wanted to be true, and they were salivating over the prospect of pinning it on some conservative NASCAR driver, crew, or fan
If they could have, they would have run with this, forever, true or not.

News Flash....
The media doesn't care if the story is true or not.
Wring fifteen minutes of rubbing America's nose in poo,
then on to the next story.
Rinse, wash, repeat.
That's the game.
How long do you want to play?
Tell their advertisers when you're done.
You can use their own tactics against them.
Notice Jimmy "Black-Face" Kimmel is taking a "Holiday"?
You have more power than you know.
Use it.

The Enemedia are in on all these fraudulent racial hatred cases.
OK - memory challenge.....has there been even ONE of these big, heavily publicized cases which has turned out to be and actual racial hatred case? Even one? The overwhelming majority are found to have been perpetrated by the "victim" against themselves. And then huge swaths are just some idiot seeing ANY rope and assuming that it is "a noose".
ANY actual cases of this sort of thing in the news in the last 20 years? As far as I can remember, 100% are fraud or a obiously stupid mistake (intentional?).

SW-Penn (#16) has it nailed.
For the Leftist media, it's not about truth, or balance, or decency, or informing the public.
Watch ALL these media types..... their facial expressions, their body language, their Tone of Voice, as they spin this Lie.
They are having the Time of their Lives.
It's about GLEEFULLY rubbing WHITE America's nose in feces for a day or two, until the truth gets out.
Even then, couch the language so as to not admit to the Sheeple audience what really happened.
Then.... On to the Next One!
That's why I do NOT watch TV news. Period.
