Stephen A. Smith Falls for Misinformation, Calls Out Brittney Griner

If misleading tweets can fool prominent figures like Stephen A. Smith, what hope remains for the rest of us? Recently, Stephen A. appeared on Valuetainment's podcast with Patrick Bet-David, where they dissected a fabricated Instagram post regarding WNBA star Brittney Griner. The inauthentic nature of the post raises questions about their credibility in media. Strikingly, neither guest expressed concern about their oversight. The questionable post stated, “Respectfully, Brittney Griner was in a Russian prison," suggesting she shouldn't complain now that she’s home. The skepticism surrounding such statements is troubling, especially considering the source—an account called The Sports Memery. Stephen A., often misled by similar-sounding names, seemed oblivious, demonstrating a concerning lapse in discernment amidst his usual confident demeanor.
