It’s a stark contrast, isn’t it? The way the Epstein scandal is playing out in Europe versus here in the United States is frankly disheartening, and it raises some uncomfortable questions about our own institutions. In Europe, it feels like we’re seeing a genuine reckoning, with political figures facing consequences and their careers potentially crumbling under the weight of these revelations. There’s a sense that the scandal is actively dismantling parts of their political establishment.
Here in the U.S., however, it’s a different story altogether. The prevailing sentiment seems to be that those implicated are, to put it mildly, getting a pass.… Continue reading
During the Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Milan, US Vice President JD Vance was met with boos and jeers from the crowd, a reaction not broadcast by NBC. This incident follows a pattern of efforts to shield American viewers from dissent, as seen at the US Open where broadcasters were asked not to show negative reactions to Donald Trump. The protests in Milan also extended to the presence of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at the Games, with one US athlete expressing mixed emotions about representing the country amid current political events.

Why aren’t the Epstein files being heavily reported in mainstream news? Well, that’s a question that’s been on a lot of people’s minds. It seems like a pretty straightforward answer boils down to the fact that the people who own the mainstream media are heavily implicated in the files, or are at the very least, connected to those who are.
It’s interesting to think about, because if you look at news sources outside the US, like the CBC, BBC, or The Guardian, they *are* covering the story, and some have been providing live updates. Even in the US, publications like The Atlantic, Daily Beast, and others are covering it.… Continue reading
Project 2025, a detailed conservative agenda, presented a rare opportunity for accurate prediction but was instead met with journalistic surprise despite its public availability. While advocacy groups like the ACLU warned of the plan’s negative impacts, their concerns were often dismissed as partisan, whereas Trump’s denials, even when demonstrably false, were treated as newsworthy facts. This journalistic approach, prioritizing neutrality and minimizing the appearance of bias, ultimately allowed Trump’s lies to be laundered into legitimate disagreements, hindering voters from understanding the gravity of the situation. The failure to simply acknowledge the obvious – the existence of the document, its authors, Trump’s endorsements, and his lies – directly hampered the ability of the press to inform the public.
