The BBC’s article on the Epstein files dismisses accusations against Trump as coming from anonymous tip-offs without evidence. It refuses to go into detail about the accusations or show us documents. It plays down Trump’s friendship with Epstein, saying it soured many years ago. It emphasises quotes from the Department of Justice that the accusations are false and sensationalist. Finally, and most alarmingly, it claims there is no indication of wrongdoing in the files!
This is patently false. It is not a one-off either.
The BBC has run similar phrasing to the above screenshot in multiple articles, suggesting the instruction to use this phrasing has come from the top with the intent to provide cover for Trump. My guess is this is partly because Trump is suing the BBC over another issue and the BBC is now terrified of upsetting him. Therefore, it is going to let him off the hook for serious crimes. This is not journalism.
Could be to appease Trump in his current lawsuit against BBC.
But: don’t forget how long BBC had hidden Jimmy Saville’s pedo secret. It wouldn’t surprise me if Epstein had a deeper connection to BBC
Not an insider, but Trump is already suing the BBC; I’d assume they don’t want more legal trouble.
On top of that Briton’s own home-grown fascists are polling well, and the BBC may be worried about retribution should they take over the government.
Or it’s just the rich sticking up for the rich again 🤷♂️ .
Someone has class consciousness, and it ain’t us.
All Trump did is Finger Blast Little Girls and Auction them off to Rich People. WHO CARES?
-The BBC!
There isn’t a broadcast corp that you can believe wasn’t in the honeytrap. That was the point.
