If you feel they have some vendetta against their readers and wanted to annoy you

Incompetence and ignorance don't have to be deliberate to be annoying. Especially when they happen often. I happen to expect better of those who are paid to inform people of breaking news. Being annoyed ≠ thinking it's about me or otherwise deliberate.

Sure sounds like you're a very stable person assuming that title was purposefully written to annoy people because [reasons].

Again, never said that. You sure sound like a very sincere person, waving around the strawman you constructed to dismiss my rational argument as paranoid ramblings.

I know why media (say they) use "alleged" all the time, but this doesn't apply.

It's by definition a link. Whether it’s a significant link is another matter, but no court would be so ridiculous as to accept a lawsuit based on a misunderstanding of what the word "linked" means.

if they're on the list, that could be argued it's not alleged that they're tied together in some form

The list itself is a link. Whether it’s a link that means anything is yet to be revealed, but it's beyond a shadow of a doubt and in every legal sense a link.

this will keep anyone from attempted to sue them over it.

No it won't. There was already precisely zero risk of it.

The only thing they're achieving by adding "alleged" to this headline is to annoy people who know what words and concepts are and then spur a lot of people to tell those already annoyed people things the annoyed people already know and have been reminded of every time they've pointed out misuse of "alleged".

This country has been anti immigrant(anti anyone not white moving here) since it's inception

Nah, until 1882, there was literally no restrictions for anyone moving to the US. If you could afford the journey or even successfully stow away on a ship or train or whatever, they'd let you in and let you stay.

When it came to CITIZENSHIP, though, you're right about the criteria being super racist from day one.

Good point, but I'm actually not that. I'm starting to suspect that very few people actually are!

Ah ok, fair enough 🙂

I wouldn't mind splitting the difference and being 30 again tbh 😄

It's that perfect middle where you're (just barely) old enough that most people take you seriously (or at least don't dismiss you based on youth alone), but also young enough that your body doesn't ache from approaching middle age yet 😉

That's not really pizza OR pie..

There's 8 posts or something

Weird. I set it to top all and Connect still gives me the no posts error 😔

Nothing "allegedly" about it, they ARE linked. Whether or not they did anything wrong (and they almost certainly did), being mentioned in those court documents is literally a link to Epstein.

You'd think that someone writing for NPR would at least be literate enough to understand what all the words they use mean..

edit 326-343 are completely redacted.

Probably implicates politicians and/or their owner donors. Can't have the peasants know the atrocities of their lords.
