Anyway, if you're still struggling with this I urge you to take a moment and try and see how you would feel if it were you. I, for one, would want to make sure those reporters gave a shit and did their due diligence.

Extremely good work was done today, and those women are brave as fuck. That's it.

Look: we have plenty of factual, long-investigated, witnesses & victim accounts, & 100s of 1000s of pieces of evidence against Epstein.

Look where that got the victims.

Your argument against a Democrat requires equal amounts of research negating the victims.

Isn’t that what you’re asking for?!

This also shows why we need large news corps like cnn, etc. even though they aren’t perfect. A few people with substacks aren’t gonna have the resources to do something like this.

What I don’t get is how this stays quiet for years and then explodes in the middle of an election. I just wish these folks were revealed in a timely fashion. Who else is doing this shit now?

People underestimate how much energy goes into suppressing the truth about abusers. Until you’ve been in the position of trying to expose bad behavior you don’t realize how difficult it actually is to do. Our entire culture is set up to protect them.

And yet not one reporter did an in-depth report on Donald Trump’s crimes when he was running for president

And? Can you accept that two things can be true at the same time even though you don’t like them? Time for some folks to get of the high wall and walk the “prosecute them now matter party” line of convenience. It looks bad and if he did if, fuck him

mm, with CNN owned by MAGA and Swalwell on the J6 committee, it's difficult to buy it. Not because I doubt the possibility but I simply also acknowledge the possibility that it's all a right wing ploy - of course they would be thorough. I'd prefer a left/center entity look into it.

Didn't want to believe it BUT the devil is in the details. I don't care for CNN but was surprised by how well researched and professional the article is. Agree - the women are brave AND deserve justice - if they choose to seek it.

CNN spent a lot of effort going after a Democrat, yet still hold water and ignore the offenses of Trump

Cooperate media LIKE taking down democrats with zeal and will spare no expense to do so

Is there a double standard with a political valence?

Almost certainly yes.

Does that mean a solid story about a Democratic sexual predator should be spiked?

Hell no.

cnn, nyt, previous incarnations of wapo and cbs, other media national, regional, and independent, etc have done more than enough excellent reporting of Trump's many crimes and offenses. much more than the (also excellent) work done on swalwell /

Swallwell should remove himself from the candidacy, period. And he was irresponsible as hell for taking campaign contributions. That wasted money of the people who spend money 🤑 on political campaigns.

On second thought, that maybe was the one benefit.

I'm old enough to remember when the Journalism Code Of Ethics was a requirement, not a request. The real issue, as I see it, is mass media is now owned by agenda-driven billionaires with a stake in the message.
