Corporate media will always present its narrative as wholly uncontested until enough people question it to bring it down. Whether that's about capitalism or neoliberal candidates or surveillance or this literal global pedophilia ring, they are the absolute last to face what everyone else already knows. Just gotta keep agitating, maybe forever to no end but ah well at least the endorphins are energizing

the story has been starved of significant developments, and that, coupled with the fact that the media has done the absolute minimum to investigate the epstein affair, is seeming to rapidly lead to the energy around it going kaput. there has also been so much else going on in the news to pull away people's attention, too, what with trump's insanity, the amazon, the economy, and all the rest of it. really, all you need to know about the news media has been in plain sight throughout the whole affair: they've mostly refused to ask tough questions regarding epstein's handling by the authorities, his network of connections, his background, ghislaine and her background, etc. they expect their audience to trust in the system unconditionally, and they smear anyone who questions their perspective, no matter what the specifics of the criticism may be, as crank loons. i don't think that the epstein story was killed; i think it was hardly given life. even with all the attention that his arrest and subsequent death seemed to garner, the story should have been far larger. it could have been. in a a perfect world, wapo, the new york times, and the bloody bbc would be tearing through paper trails, hungrily chasing down potential leads, drilling into the heads of their readership that this whole thing is just bonkers. instead, we got lukewarm retreading of his situation in 2008, reporting of what happened at the mcc in the most uncritical, blasé way imaginable, and fake woke articles about prison reform. who knows, maybe the esptein story will blow up again with a big development. there's always hope (lol).

not investigating is the same as killing the story. journalists at nyt/wapo/etc may not have been told explicitly what to do, but like rats in a maze, they know where they're allowed to go.

aw gently caress i just remembered the whole thing about disney movies where the underwater kingdom was made of dicks in the little mermaid, and in aladdin there's a subliminal whisper going "kids take off your clothes" not to mention ALL your girls in disney movies including the teenage ones are clearly drawn while horny. blaming anime for perverts is a misdirection bc anime was just copying disney the whole time it's all true... it's all been true the whole time

The part that really gets to me is that nobody seems to be perturbed by the idea that a massive blackmail operation targeting numerous figures of political and cultural significance was being conducted more or less openly for decades without apparently drawing much attention from the FBI or anyone else. The D&D line I see getting used is that the claim Epstein belonged to intelligence was a face saving lie to cover up more pedestrian corruption, but if you don't think Epstein had any protection from the American security state then at the very least you would think it would be a massive scandal that nobody took any interest in all of this. This isn't just a question of justice for the victims either. Even looking at this from the most Machiavellian realpolitik perspective, surely you would be concerned that Epstein might have been working on behalf of or willing to sell his information to foreign agencies or businesses. If Epstein wasn't acting with the sanction of someone in the US government then it really raises the question of how massively incompetent and irresponsible they would have been to ignore what he was doing for decades. Even the most mundane interpretation of this scandal, interpreted through the most lazy liberal political perspective, should raise alarm bells. There should be congressional inquiries, huge media scrutiny, people getting fired. The fact that none of this is happening is, on its own, enough to raise suspicions.
