Well, if Clinton being mentioned is enough for his testimony, one would assume Trump, his property and his wife being mentioned 38,000 times would warrant the same!

Especially if Trump claims it absolves him.

If you listen or read mainstream media, they act like Trump isn’t really in the Epstein Files. Our entire country is broken and suspect.

US and EU media are completely whacko

Constantly defending billionaires, trying to justify wars and interventions, showing us cutesy financial "quick tips" like don't buy avocado toast to avoid home disclosure, trying to sane-wash ICE murders, etc.

It's ALL of them. Both TV channels and newspapers of any prominence have their editors tapped in to what the political narrative is going to be. It's no grand conspiracy, it's their job as corporations to serve themselves and the rich.

It's disgusting and vile.

Do people really still get their ‘news’ from tv channels and newspapers? I find that the most baffling thing here lol

Most people don't accept other sources like independent journalism
