Smollet looked to take advantage of the growing wedge that people willingly drive further and further in this country. What ever his motive (career, hatred for Trump, SJW cred) he further divided people based on his actions. Strong penalty.
People were too willing to make SJ points on this, particularly the political left that are eating each other to be king of the hill.
This has happened time and time again, people with axes or careers to grind having to be early and memorable.
And time and time again the News Media has to be intertwined with the virtue signaling Kommentariat on Social Media.
We are in a post "Just the Facts, Mam" world.
