From Jussie Smollett to BYU, the media's history of peddling race hoaxes

Last month, claims made by a Black volleyball player from Duke University made national headlines. 

Rachel Richardson alleged that a fan from Brigham Young University (BYU) hurled the n-word and threats at her "throughout the entirety of the match" between the two schools on Aug. 26. Her in-the-moment allegation led to the immediate removal and permanent ban of the suspected racist and BYU issued apologies to both Richardson and Duke University. 

The liberal media quickly ate it up.
