I see the problem here. Read the original post. Like click on the picture. The post is about journalist making up thier own terminology which in their opinion is to intentionally minimize the criminality of the actions. It is really complaining about the reporting, not the crimes themselves. It bigger than just the epstein files. And it is rampant in all reporting on rape cases.
So why do they do it? In large part, because of the lack of agreed upon terminology, they have to make up terms that are less serious to avoid getting sued for implying crimes that didn't actually take place.
Do you need an image circling the second question? How does "on the epstien files" change the explicit question from what it says to be about are the people in the files guilty?
