Why did the media fall so swiftly for the Jussie Smollett hoax right after falling for the Covington Catholic hoax? The easy answer is bias. And that might have even been the right answer a generation ago.
These days the media isn’t biased. It’s tribal.

The fact that the mainstream news media constitute a tribe of their own, and seem to be the tail wagging the dog of the Democrat party, means that their collapse due to the failure of their various business models can’t come a moment too soon.
