(23,054 posts)as a nothingburger. I just switched to CNN for a moment and some dude was saying that this feels like the Access Hollywood situation and that blew over so this will too, basically. They are already signaling last night that their message would be that this helps him with his base.

(15,444 posts)seeded with a few fakes. That helped Access Hollywood die down, thanks to Russian asset Assange. The WH cant count on help this time, so they have to make their own distractions.

(44,981 posts)They are looking at it only through a political lens. The reporter also claimed that the WSJ's story about the sophomoric birthday letter TACO gave to Epstein has convinced his followers that everything is A OK.

(18,644 posts)that same Megyn Kelly quote as its "evidence" MAGA is lining up behind Trump. But that's not what I'm seeing, at all.

With a photo of banon, implied as leading the charge.
However, I wouldn't be surprised if the MSM rags quietly stop covering the story about the epstein/trump connections, if they are ordered to by this WH.
Just look at how CBS, ABC, and a good number of law firms caved to the dictator.
It should be clear to most people that the MSM cannot be trusted as a reliable or accurate source.

(8,876 posts)means anything? Also, the more important question is if the Access Hollywood tape didn't ruin T, which it obviously didn't, and the smirking MAGAS agree that Epstein won't either, what does that say about American character? Too afraid to ask it and too afraid to answer it.

(55,446 posts)they all knew he was a convicted felon, the biggest liar in history, credibly accused of sexual assault by over 2 dozen women, found legally liable for at least one of those, has paid to kill negative stories about himself, has signed thousands of non-disclosure agreements to keep negative stories quiet, and so on and so on.
they know who he is. they know he's a crminal, they know he "grabs 'em by the p*ssy", they know he just takes to satisfy himself and does not care about consent, they know he walks into teenage dressing rooms to ogle the girls, and the know he's been multiple times with epstein. c'mon, do the math. they've always known.
but the bottom line is that there are no lines they won't cross.
they may be uncomfortable crossing some of those lines, but eventually, they will cross them.
they have *never* demonstrated an ability to say no and stick with it.

That's the thing about the corporate media, always politics, never policy.
Thanks for the thread WiVoter
