They dont want the other financiers tarred with the same brush, even though the capitalist scum deserve it.
Even that's too soft for him, makes him sound like the creep who moved in down the block.
In reality, he was the most connected and influential international child sex trafficker in history. "Convicted sex offender" sounds like one of his customers.
They're not sugarcoating it, they're normalizing it...
And the answer to "why" for all those questions is oligarchs bought the news stations after Clinton de-regulated it with the Telecoms act of 1996.
The media isn't run for the sake of journalism, it's not even run for profit anymore. The oligarchs goobled it all up so they could influence everyone else, and they don't like it when anyone from their class is held accountable for anything.
It's the same as when medieval royalty would always side with each other no matter what.
They don't see us as the same species as them.
Don't want to risk missing out on precious clicks and shares due to keyword-sensitive advertiser friendliness algorithms.
The "news" is the same people as the accused. It's all the ultra wealthy ruling class. They are also destroying the environment with fossil fuels, buying up livable property and jacking up the rates, shorting water stocks and such, etc.
Their time may be up soon, but I want to see them rot in prison, not the other option, because that'll be way more chaotic and could lead to worse outcomes.
There is no prison for billionaires. Look at New York v. Trump. The only way to fix this mess is a revolution, AKA civil war.
Revolutions and civil war have a nasty habit of not going the way you want them to go. Even the French Revolution was coopted by Napoleon and turned into a monarchy.
“Adolescent women” to refer to a 13 year old was used in that one witness account of the women who worked as a recruiter for his parties.
Distorsión of reality by linguistic manipulation.
This is straight out of 1984 book:
In the novel, "Newspeak" wasn't just about being concise; it was designed to shrink the vocabulary so much that "heretical" thoughts became literally impossible because the words for them no longer existed.
Here is a breakdown of how linguistic manipulation distorts reality, both in the book and in our world:
In 1984, if you wanted to say something was "terrible," you just said it was ungood.
By removing "bad," "terrible," and "horrific," the emotional weight of the experience is flattened.
Ungood is very similar to "unalived"...
What a coincidence...
They took a literary warning about totalitarian regimes and used it as manual to implement a totalitarian regime.
It would be laughable if it wasn't so dangerous.
More like the people that own these news companies are also in the files and tweaking the narrative as a result. Something something follow the money something
The minimization is CRAZY. Like people are saying "Oh, no, he didn't rape the kid he just had sex with her." Like the child CONSENTED to it. Sex, by definition, is engaging in sexual pleasure with both persons consent.
Our country that was fought for by thousands of soldiers, many whom died for this land, so we could have freedom and a break away from the king of Britain. He was a dictator, and now we are in the company of one such other dictator. A rat, who gained entry only by his father's money and influence. Who used that influence and abused it, who corrupted young minds and brainwashed people to believe that he was doing good.
That he was making America great again.
When the only thing he did for us was give us empty promises, and shoved us down the path of an emptier future.
Have you checked who owns big media corporations? 🤔
People who rape children.
At this point it's on the wealthy to prove they aren't child rapists. Epstein is just one of many and there is zero reason to assume others like him are not still operating.
🎼 Some of those who work newsrooms
Are the same who rape kiddos
SHILLING IN THE NAME OF! 🎶
The media machine is complicit with the state. Always has been.
Because the news is largely owned by the oligarchy.
How the fuck was I your first upvote? You're spitting pure fact. Our MSM "news" is mostly owned by right-wing billionaires AKA oligarchs.
It's called "sane-washing" and the media won't stop doing it. Even NPR, though less so recently.
You would think with their funding cut off they would stop doing the "fair and balanced" act and stop carrying water for Republican liars.
What's even more fucked is just how personally responsible Epstein is to the modern right wing movement. While online Nazis and crass as fuck assholes were common, the way how they became such a concerted and active and effective politicial movement was done entirely through Epstein motivated and funded shit.
You know how so many major gaming channels always make a ton of right wing advocacy? Their money and funding came from the motherfucker and his network.
I remember when online gaming channels were AVGN type fun stuff. Either with retro or with modern games.
To actually answer the question:
Because most of the old media functionally has the CIA as an editorial board.
Immensely ironically, we know a lot about that because of Noam Chomsky.
Who... is also in the Epstein files.
Quite a lot.
Yeah, it wasn't just the right wing of the country that has been existing in a constructed media hyperreality, it has also been the left wing of the country.
I wouldn't describe Noam as left wing, he's advocating for Ukraine's unilateral surrender rn. He's just Red Fascist.
Totally agree, but it is also our responsibility to stop consuming it. Stop using X before chomo musk starts his Social Education addon. When everyone is logging into S E X and seeing pictures of AI generated naked children will people finally stop!?
Seriously get the fuck off X! I am going to start considering anyone still using that platform a supporter of child rape.
People need to be calling out networks and reporters/authors by name for doing this. Stop blaming "they" and put a name on it.
American media engage in censorship that people don't see. They soften the language and cherrypick the facts.
This is why you should get your news from alternative media. I usually recommend Breaking Points. There's even a reporter on their staff that punched Jesse Watters in the face once.
Look at who owns the news that are hiding the reality of the situation. Look at who they're beholden to.
I was a bit miffed to discover that, during the current fall of america, most media, whether right, middle or left leaning, proved to us they'll fiddle with the truth for money and clicks. Fuck capitalism. We the people?, or we the money?
Even the term "soliciting prostitution with a minor" really shouldn't exist because it implies some sort of consent by the minor.
The fact that mainstream media constantly does that it just shows you on who's side they are. They wouldn't talk about it at all, but they need to wash their karma somehow.
mind that most of these people would otherwise refer to women as girls. it's deliberate.
The other night I listened to the PBS News Hour characterizing grok's AI child pornography as "explicit" and "putting women into bathing suits".
The same people who are in the files run the media. Not 100% positive, but this might have something to do with it.
