Not surprised! The "main stream" media made, continues to make, the argument that it's not its job to save our democratic republic.

" The "main stream" media made, continues to make, the argument that it's not its job to save our democratic republic."

Well, the American "main stream" media is largely owned by an Australian Nazi, Ghislaine Maxwell's scandalmongering late father, and a bunch of "Techno-Libertarian" Billionaire Broligarchs who are sure some bizarre mix of Ayn Rand, Robert A. Heinlein, Frank Herbert, Walt Disney's Tomorrowland, and a twisted misreading of STAR TREK is What Society Needs to Be Shepherded Towards.

Imperfect, contrarian Democratic Republics need not apply to their perfect future planned society.

Ms. Carroll has her own Substack, and makes it a point to remind us through it what happened....

Yes, I belong to her Substack, and she's been very forthright about it.

Unfortunately, the Corporate Media still holds a lot of mindspace, sadly....

What if I told you that it's bigger than sex trafficking? That that was just a singular component of the deep, systemic global corruption?

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

Time to brush up on your knowledge of Epstein's extensive network of victims, banks, politicians, global leaders, intelligence agencies, schools, billionaires, etc.

Every post I'm linking has verifiable sources. Zev Shalev’s articles on The Greatest Heist are a must-read, as are The Alpha and the Omega of Epstein and the Unlimited Hangout articles by Whitney Webb. Ellie Leonard is extensively covering the sex trafficking and the victims in particular.

This is all publicly available information. Every name and every thread are connected. In most cases the details of these posts and articles are corroborated by each other.

Note: in the many years since Ms. Webb (Unlimited Hangout links) published her extensive articles about the Epstein network (I think in 2019), no one has been able to debunk her work or her sources.

Also check out the documentary Filthy Rich: Jeffrey Epstein on Netflix.

NOW, if you want your mind well and truly blown, look up u/backcountrydrifter on Reddit. He was a prolific poster up until the election last year when he completely disappeared. The things he talks about sound absolutely wild but again, you're supposed to be completely incredulous. THAT is the con. A very, very long game. He links news articles that corroborate a lot of his claims. A lot of the links I just posted skirt the edges of most of it.

Happy Rabbit Hole Day.

"Objectivity means catering to MAGA

The mainstream Epstein stories, then, are essentially being written for an imagined MAGA reader, even if MAGA readers aren’t the ones most likely to read them. And I think that shapes what details are considered important and which ones aren’t."

WTF is this fear of MAGAts that the Corporate Media has? Most of MAGA can't read anyway!

Yes, that's a snide Libburul Elitist Generalization, and with more than my share of MAGA types in my own family I know most of them are at least at the Sixth-Grade reading comprehension level that The U.S. considers "Literate". But it exposes a deeper truth, that MAGAts don't believe or trust ANYTHING the non-Far Right media says, no matter how much it caters to them (or caters to that "imaginary centrist" Noah mentioned in the body of his article).

So why even bother? Why not take on MAGA, and blast them with both barrels? As Alfred Bloomingdale memorably said to Rupert Murdoch, "Only shoplifters read THE NY POST", after all....
