MSNBC anchors using "The Epstein Matter"
and my new favorite, "The DC Crackdown"
It's so ironic that if this was some child trafficking ring involving famous people caught red-handed, how sensational the coverage would be with titillating leaks every other hour.......oh wait, that's exactly what this was/is. The Epstein Matter. Think about what that says to you, me, and especially the victims. We will under report to the end, kinda like Watergate until the truth is too visible to be ignored, and boy the outrage then.....
This is why I believe that we start every fight with one hand tied behind our backs.
The narrative is skewed from the start, and the best our "Advisors" have to offer is some focus group tested talking points.
I don't need MSNBC to be a stooge for Democratic talking points, but I surely can't stomach their repetitive use of Republican ones.

(109,266 posts)And their ass kissing propaganda channel known as Fox News. They know something that we don't about all of this. The evidence is out there and it's sitting at 1100 Ocean Blvd. Hell, the evidence *IS* 1100 Ocean Blvd. Mar-A-Lago is ground zero for Epstein and Trump's human trafficking. The truth must be heard!

(61,033 posts)Not a good idea IMO. We and everyone should be constantly bringing up Epstein until we bring down the felon, rapist and child abuser in the WH.

(6,616 posts)My point in both was these aren't "Matters"
The term by itself minimizes the severity of both issues.
Think back to the breathless coverage of take your pick sex scandal going back 40 years. Now all of a sudden, instead of the Epstein Child trafficking investigation, and where's the investigation into how not one person who partook of these events has ever even been charged with a crime?
Let's just compare lol.
If what's going on in DC is really a legitimate crackdown, and since probable cause seems to have flown the coop, and with so many Epstein friends and guests in close proximity, why not start raiding them? After all, their not our best, rapists, sex traffickers, drug dealers, stop me if anyone on Epstein's list is excused yet.......
Sorry I'm ranting
