@TwoMisfits, I think it was you who mentioned how it was important to keep the word "alleged" in the news reports of the attack on Justin Smollet, and I argued with you. Seems very much like you were completely right and I was completely wrong.  

 

(Also, ooooof.)

I stopped watching Empire long ago (not even Cookie Monster could get me to stick with that nonsense) but yeesh.

Anthony Guglielmi, a Chicago police spokesman, posted on Twitter that ABC7’s sources are inaccurate.

i don't believe he staged the attack, but he shouldn't have said the attackers were white if he was not sure

Thanks, I think:)...

 

Now, I'm still waiting til we get confirmation from the cops themselves about everything...since if the media is 100% wrong once, it can be 100% wrong again:)...you know that fool me once saying...

I think with the age of social media, the media needs to change how it addresses situations. I mean I just went on twitter and Jussie was trending because he staged the incident but then I see this on twitter as well 

 

And it just seems now a days news outlets just want to get whatever clickbait headline they can with minimal fact/source checking. I mean I’m sure they did this in the past too but again with the rise of social media it changes things. I don’t know. I just wish the media would *wait* and gather everything before posting things.

Wonder who ABC's sources were if they weren't the police or Fox @Telemachos

What a mess, lol.

The media has agendas. This is why I don't trust any one of them. Don't get me wrong, I think Trump is an absolute buffoon and a shit stain of a human being but he's on to something with his anti-media narrative. Most of it is utter poison.

Lord. This whole saga is a contender for nuttiest celebrity-based drama of 2019 and it's only February 14.

No Walmart, I won't even do business with you in your parking lot but nice try!

So, finished watching Ant Man and the Wasp (my last outstanding Marvel movie)...and it was probably my least favorite 2018 supers movie.  There was nothing wrong with it...but there was nothing really right with it, either.  Inconsequential plot (almost tv episode-like) without really livening it up with humor that the 1st had...my spouse and I gave it C+s...
