Smollett Case Goes to Jury, Watchdog Notes News Media Giving Little Coverage to Story They Once Championed

Meanwhile, Newsbusters reports ABC News is trying to get its viewers to forget their coverage of Smollett's claims that a MAGA-loving mob assaulted him on a frigid Chicago night. Now at the height of his trial, the media watchdog says ABC is attempting to bury the story.
