Comment on The Epstein Scandal Finally Takes Down a Politician

the whole thing is a bit weird though - his assosciation was known since last year, and he was transparently visiting Epstein in prison. Why now?
He was going to face questions from us media that would embarrass and intensify the scandal for the us administration.
They knew, guy was unrepentant and still gushing over epstein and referred to his residences with a yum yum comment. Guy fucked kids and was Israel’s bitch as a result, but liked it.
Journalists uncovered that he had misrepresented the facts when the Prime Minister chose to ask him specific details before appointing him.
so this is just the PM effectively distancing himself from his previous decision of appointing him
Pretty much.

forced to confront it because of the bday book I suppose. which is pitiful but our media… goddamn we need a return to old school journalism, I just can’t see how it happens without newspapers.

Sucks that billionaires own the privately owned media, and what they don’t own they can just buy. That’s where national news services should step in.

defend the beeb at all costs. it’s imperfect but better than dang near anything we have.

The beeb is already captured. Their reporting on Gaza is amongst the worst, and the chairman is Tory who uses “impartiality” as an excuse to suppress common sense and compassion

I dread to think about your moral compass if you think the beeb is still worth defending. I gave up on the bbc in 2016, and it's gotten so much worse since then.
