ATLANTA, GA—While Empire actor Jussie Smollett has been having a tough week so far, there appears to be a silver lining: cable news channel CNN has offered Smollett a job as an investigative reporter and on-air anchor after witnessing his skills at fabricating a story entirely out of thin air.

CNN producers were reportedly impressed throughout the ongoing saga of Smollett's apparent hoax attack on himself. They realized early on the facts didn't add up but were fascinated with how well the actor kept the narrative going. An HR rep quickly reached out to Smollett to see if he'd be interested in taking on a position at the news organization after news broke that the entire thing was probably fabricated.

"Smollett has exactly the kind of skills we look for at our fine organization," said CNN correspondent Brian Stelter. "He picked a narrative, made up all the relevant facts and details, and stuck with his story in spite of glaring holes in the plot. It's hard to find people who understand our core values here at CNN, but Smollett seems to be just the guy for us."

The actor has accepted the offer and is now undergoing training to learn how to weave even more intricate narratives ex nihilo, according to insiders.

Didn't even know you had a sense of humor. It's not impressive, but I guess it's there.

Yes, satire at its best, just like CNN. 😂

You have to go all the way to the bottom of the page to read where it says satire.

Considering that you get most of your news from the Useful Idiot information outlets, it's very easy to understand why you would have to read that far before realizing it was satire.

I knew immediately it wasn't true. I had to read to the bottom to know if the author wanted me to know.

You're coming on pretty strong aren't you?

If it went down like law enforcement believe it did, It sounds like he has some difficulties beyond the possible legal ones. I hate to see him mocked. I'm OK with him having to face up with legal consequences. I try not to get my pleasure from other peoples problems. I did say try. I think we all do some of that.

I do hope he straightens his life out.

Whew; good I honestly glanced through it.

Honestly his career might be over.
I do have to admit though he is very talented.

Why wouldn't he get mocked?

I mean seriously. He hired his own henchmen! He still had his bucket of bleach and an assortment of magazines in his place. Evidently there was some sort of magazine letter hate mail previously that also is appearing to be created by him. And staged this all to get what? Attention? Are actors really that insecure?

To be honest with you I'd never heard of him before this incident. Maybe he's talented, maybe not. But he definitely has issues. He should have sought treatment instead of attention.
