Scandalism from Los Angeles to the Caribbean - Dirty Secrets of Hunter Biden and Jeffrey Epstein
Part 60: Scandalism from Los Angeles to the Caribbean – Dirty Secrets of Hunter Biden and Jeffrey Epstein
Published January 4, 2024
By Zachary Ellison, Independent Journalist
The funny thing about really good scandals is that they revolve around a whole lot of evidence that in turn refers back like a loop to other scandals. Commonly defined and used it means the “focusing of attention on and publicizing information about scandals.” Obviously Hunter Biden and Jeffrey Epstein aren’t in the same category of conduct, but as far as media coverage, they’re part of the revolving door of scandalism that has plagued American politics since, well, basically after 1776.
The idea that dirt and secrets are part of the political trade is nothing new. As the Los Angeles Times reminded me this morning in their full length story on Hunter Biden and his ally Kevin Morris, there’s a lot that can be said about this art of intrigue in a place like LA! And so Matt Hamilton and Stacy Perman do, and out of the whole piece it’s this gem that caught my eye: “Los Angeles is a city swarming with Democratic boldfaced names eager to shell out millions in support of President Biden. But many here are loath to attach themselves to his only living son” for obvious reasons.
