Women In The Sequel

“All of these circles connect - and if the media, most especially the New York Times, had done a better job of reporting on his candidacy and his sordid past, instead of focusing on Hillary Clinton’s emails, the country might be in a much better and safer position today. Especially since one of its own reporters, Landon Thomas Jr., was communicating directly with Epstein in 2015, during the lead up to the election. Going so far as to tip Epstein off about an ex-NYPD detective, John Connolly, was ‘digging around’ for information for a book he was writing on the nefarious dealings of the disgraced sexual predator and his relationship with the news media. Much of mainstream journalism is motivated by careerism and ambition over the truth - and Epstein was a well connected guy, able to dole out access to his powerful friends and tidbits of gossip that kept those with thinner morality dancing on his strings, allowing themselves to be manipulated. Much like we have witnessed in the behavior of the press surrounding Trump himself up until this moment. They may continue to do so well beyond it. Think of CBS, ABC and CNN and their tepid coverage and on-air caveats of the emerging scandal. Trump’s entire second term so far has revealed a naked desire on behalf of the mainstream media to curry favor or worse, pay him off. What begins to emerge is a clear picture of the symbiosis between media manipulation and corruption.” open.substack.com/pub/noelca…
