    And all the more reason for some to say none of this now matters. But a private man to man conversation in a bus 20 years ago does.

    If ABC was objective, why would they keep quiet?

    I already know the answer.

    Perhaps the awkward question now is 'will anything be done about it'? We already know the Democrats and the MSM want all this to go away, just as many posters do. However is this the canary in the coal mine where the media controls not only what people should see and hear but control politicians on all levels as well? We already know how they can bust people and careers if they take a notion to.

    So far Donald Trump has led a revolution of sorts against this Deep State, against the odds, but will this quiet revolution end with him?

    Sad to say it probably will. But there is always hope.

    Moronic reply on your part since I was discussing the award-winning Miami Herald story on Epstein that helped him get locked up for good. You can go on pulling insane crap from your ass, but it impresses no one.

    WLRN in Miami (NPR) did stories on Epstein on Nov. 5, 2019 - and Oct 30, 2019, and Oct. 16, 2019 - and Aug. 27, 2019 - and Aug. 12, 2019 -
    and July 14, 2019 - and July 13, 2019 - and July 12, 2019 - and July 8, 2019 - and Jun 25th, 2019 - ...

    ... and partnered with Julie Brown of the Miami Herald when she broke the sweetheart deal story that put Epstein behind bars for good after 2 years of interviewing Epstein victims and exposing the brokered deal that Dershewitz got with with Trump friend, Alexander Acosta, that let Epstein go back and rape more children.

    Epstein went back into jail BECAUSE of the Miami Herald story and their partnership with WLRN (NPR).

    “IS IT ANY WONDER THE AMERICAN PUBLIC DISTRUSTS THE MEDIA?” The media protected Jeffrey Epstein and crucified Brett Kavanaugh.

    Page Six, the New York Post‘s gossip column, reported on ABC’s George Stephanopoulos attending parties at Epstein’s townhouse on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. This not only gives the lie to the excuse that Epstein was insignificant, but it also offers a motive for top brass at ABC to do what they did.​

    ABC News, ostensibly a news organization, sat on one of the biggest and most consequential stories of the past decade. By the company’s explanation, this was for the sake of an editorial standard, a standard that was strangely missing from its coverage of another significant moment in recent U.S. history.​

    For many, this incident connects the dots between left-wing media bias and distrust of journalists. It helps explain why people increasingly reject the role of the media as wise gatekeepers, capable of deciding what is newsworthy. And it explains why so many people cheer when Trump calls the media “the enemy of the people” only to turn and sneer when lectured about this behavior by sanctimonious journalists.​

    Reminder: Disney, which owns ABC News, that ostensible news organization, was also in bed with Harvey Weinstein for over twenty years.

    If they aren't an enemy of the people what are they?

    It's not "private" if you know it's being recorded.

    Big money earners get treated with kid gloves. How is this news to you other than the fact that you've failed to call out any conservatives accused of diddling pubescents? Shall I make a list of them? And the Catholic Church, notorious for their abuse of male children?

    Google "Operation Brownstar" and let me know what you find.

    This isn't something new invented by the Clintons.

    Oh, so it's OK to shield Weinstein and Epstein so they can go on raping little girls, and in the case of Epstein, arrange for other men in their social circle to rape them as well?

    It's hard to believe what they will defend if they think it advances them and inch, politically.

    Clinton buddy Stephanopoulos the real reason ABC sat on that Epstein story?

    Funny how the Clintons' bag men are around at just the right times.

    Stephanopoulos has carried water for the Clintons for years, sitting on the Clinton Foundation board, which was House Clinton's de facto route for disguised bribery. He also went to a dinner party for Clinton's revolting buddy, Epstein, right after he got out of jail on a diluted child prostitution rap, something which was like a drunk driver being convicted for spitting on the sidewalk. Stephanopoulos knew, and no, he didn't treat Epstein like a pariah. He partied with him. And he's also a bigshot at ABC News.

    Good for the Miami Herald and WLRN but that's hardly the MSM.

    They don't look at themselves that way. They feel that they know best for the hoi polloi and that attitude was shared in the highest levels of the CIA, FBI and IRS also. They're all part of the same family.

    The intoxicating power of these people draws in others who may be useful and they'll do whatever it takes, like ignoring or fudging a story, to maintain their status, or their job, and remain on the exciting fringes of power..

    They don't have any more respect for 'the people' than they did for those young girls (and boys) on Epstein's island. They're all just a means to an end.

    They had a story on a serial rapist, highly connected to elites in society, years ago and they decided to squash the story because it may implicate some important people.

    Eh, **** it. Doesnt matter.

    She could have called the police but would then lost 'the scoop'.
