The reactions to Jussie Smollett's arrest for allegedly staging a hate hoax against himself have been truly hilarious.

The New York Times decided on Thursday to headline an article about the white on black lynching of Emmett Till 64 years ago.

With the arrest of Jussie Smollett on Thursday for allegedly staging a hate hoax against himself, the New York Times tried to salvage the narrative by headlining a 64-year-old story of a white on black lynching from 1955. https://t.co/gs74p3PtGV

Meanwhile, The Washington Post dropped this gem:

Opinion: Jussie Smollett’s story was theatrical. We should have been cautious from the start. https://t.co/Yq872o9NJE

"...We should have been cautious from the start..."

Who is this "we" you speak of? https://t.co/Osf9WgLrGY

Pretty much everyone except the media, every top Democrat seeking to run in 2020 and the Twitterati suspected this was a hoax from the very beginning. Nonetheless, "we" all should have been more cautious!

The article itself is from Megan McArdle, who actually writes some good stuff. I suspect the editors at the Washington Post decided on the headline for her.
