Wow....
Might be a good time to look back at some of the early takes.
So @AsheSchow tried to warn people:
But there will be no apologies, no lessons learned, no accountability.

The same people will make the same assumptions next time.
Oh good. Looks like @Cameron_Gray collected some of these. Hopefully these same people will be asked to comment again in the next few days:

People believe current take bc it's consistent w the evidence, while the original version of the story was filled w/ contradictions & red flags.

I can see why you'd want to deflect given your tweets on this subject, but you might be better off engaging in some self-reflection.
Here are the tweets lecturing that I'm referring to...

When you have a set narrative and a lecture ready, you might be less willing to look carefully at the facts or approach a story with skepticism.
Notice his tweets didn't even allow for the possibility that the assault didn't occur exactly as Smollett described. Scott was hardly alone in this approach. That's why it's hard to take the attempts to exonerate the press here seriously.

LOL

Shorter: Republicans are seizing on things that Democrats keep saying and doing....
This is beyond embarrassing. It's a whole article that tries to spin Republicans pointing out that Dems are adopting radical and offensive positions as just an unfair partisan attack.
R's didn't make Dems sign up for an insane socialist plan to restructure our whole economy and nationalize industries, block a resolution against infanticide, lower restrictions on late-term abortions, promise to ban private insurance, or protect several antisemitic members.

This is a nice sleight of hand. Yes, local media reported them.

How many national outlets (who reported on original attack) covered that Smollett was only off camera for ~60 seconds, that he was still holding Subway, lack of video, refusal to turn over phone records etc.?
It was a few local reporters that kept bringing out these details, and they were viciously attacked by activists like Deray for it. While the national media continued to ignore them and even use official CPD statements to push back on red flags, until they couldn't anymore.
Sorry, but the media doesn't get to pat themselves on the back after falling for yet another fake story.

What would have happened if CPD didn't investigate???

Media's job is to find the truth too, not just rely on official statements.

Time to look back now at an artist whose brazen, action-packed images captured the essence of post-war Italy: Walter Molino!
Molino began his career as an illustrator and caricaturist in 1935, working on a number of Italian newspapers. But in 1941 he took the prize spot for Italian commercial artists: cover illustrator for La Domenica del Corriere.
La Domenica del Corriere came out every Sunday free with Corriere della Sera and its hallmark was its cover illustration: striking exciting and sensationalist.

Time to look back at the early days of pulp Spanish science fiction now: let me introduce you to the Luchadores del Espacio!
Luchadores del Espacio - Space Fighters - is a Spanish science fiction saga published by Editorial Valenciana from 1953-63. It's one of the early milestones of Spanish space pulp!
Science-fantasy had taken off in Argentina during the 1950s with Más Allá (Beyond), a Spanish-language rival to Galaxy magazine. So the time was right to launch some original Spanish sci-fi stories.

Time to look back at the glory that was Smash Hits magazine. Posters, lyrics and a free badge please... #FridayFeeling
Smash Hits was created by ex-NME editor Nick Logan and launched as a monthly magazine in September 1978, with Belgian new-waver Plastic Bertrand on the cover.
The monthly format only lasted a few issues however: sales were phenomenal and Smash Hits soon switched to fortnightly publication.

The NHS was created 70 years ago. My aunt & uncle were born a few years later but like so many immigrants, dedicated their lives to the National Health Service. It is exactly 10 years since they died. This is a thread about immigrants and the NHS. Are they overloading it?
#NHS70
I did something very unusual recently - I enjoyed a copy of the Daily Mail. Well, 1 page entitled 'NHS heroes'. This is my uncle in 2000. Have you ever read a better description of how valued a traditional family doctor is?

He & his wife (my maternal aunt) were GPs from India.
Their story is not exceptional. They arrived in the 80s as junior doctors and worked in under-served & deprived areas. Thousands of doctors from India & Pakistan started arriving in the 60s, at the request of - surprisingly - Enoch Powell (then Health minister)

Zinke is set to address the National Mining Association conference in Arizona today, according the AP. A good time to look back at a few ways the Trump Admin is catering to the mining industry’s agenda. (thread)
The @forestservice wants to revisit the withdrawal of 1 million acres from new uranium mining designed to protect the Grand Canyon watershed. The National Mining Association is also taking their case to the Supreme Court to try to get the protections reversed.
(A reminder that mining near the Grand Canyon iswildly unpopular. A recent poll found 74% of Arizonans opposed) coloradocollege.edu/other/stateoft…
