This 100% happened and is part of the problem. CNN and other outlets should do their own reporting and not use TMZ as their source. On a positive note to piggy back off a previous thread the best reporting was done by the local Chicago media. Some on Twitter attacked those local reporters and their police sources but so far seem to be the most accurate.

It is the context of reporting as fact without verifying the story and the wording of the headlines . Then the multiple media members on Twitter injecting opinion and some cases threats of violence against imaginary perps. Headline should read Jussie Smolett claims racist and homophobic attack.

There were actual media members criticizing the use of the word "alleged". If we can't even use terms like this without it being labeled in a negative fashion the news media is dead. I just don't know what is so hard about using caution when a story checks every box for red meat for specific agendas. Regardless of which side or agenda.

Did the Media Jump the Gun on the Jussie Smollett Story? I know after the fact CNN tried to paint this picture but as this article shows media across the country jumped the gun.

The media complains about the public not trusting them or being called fake news. But they continue to make the same mistake of rushing to judgement or forming an opinion before all the facts are known. It also isn't a coincidence that the rush to judgement seems to be heavily to one ideology.

Can't control others decisions, just saying mine.

While I don't plan on committing a crime, I will never give up my DNA to any 3rd party including the government without a court order.

Not that rankings matter but what do the voters do with UK ? Lose on a controversial last play to a top 20 team and dominate the #1 team in the same week.

Without a doubt it's a good insurance move. Only concern would be if it stunts the growth of Chubb and I've thought Duke Johnson has been under utilized.

Schefter is saying he is probably still going to get suspended 10-12 games.

Winning will solve all problems . But man Lebron and his team has done him no favors when it comes to PR over the last year.

Double

I was just coming here to post this, this is next level trolling. If all reports are true then Demps just played Magic for a fool.

If I were guessing Philly, Miami, Houston, Clippers?

Quite an understatement

Outside of landing Lebron it seems every move Magic makes is bad. I also don't think Magic had much to do with Lebron coming. That was all team Lebron.

Knicks think they are getting KD and Kyrie. My entire life of watching the NBA tells me they probably end up with Kemba and Tobais Harris.

I'd be shocked if he was traded before the deadline. Also Woj is reporting that the offer the Lakers sent the Pelicans was so bad the Pelicans wouldn't even give a counter offer. If the Lakers mess this up like they did Paul George time to start questioning Magic.

Fox was without a doubt a star and a rising star in the NBA. Fox was over shadowed that season by the hype of Lonzo and Lavar Ball. Fox was and still is the better player.

Yes and Harden's move is a blatant walk. That is why when Steph did it in a game as a joke and got called for a walk he told the ref if he was harden he wouldn't call it.

Agreed on all accounts. You either embrace new technology or it will swallow you whole. The internet also exposed the inherent bias in journalism . People now consume news with companies who admit the bias. It's insane to me people actually believed for decades journalist didn't have a bias. They are human like the rest of us and have opinions.

I agree with this. Even though some wish it was the opposite.

The Newspaper business has noone to blame but themselves. They never thought the money train was going to end and didn't take the internet serious until it was to late. I remember on this very site back in 2004 or 2005 there was a topic discussing how the internet revenue was going to surpass print newspaper very soon and many posters disagreed with me and said it would be a very long time. If your business is standing still you will eventually fail. No matter what industry this always holds true. We are seeing it in the cable industry now with a lot of media companies trying to play catch with the newer tech companies.

You just made my point they won't coexist.
