There’s a staple of social media spam in which someone posts a false statement backed by video clip or a screenshot that doesn’t show what the headline says it does. The one doing it assumes, often correctly, that most people won’t watch, listen or read the details, just take in the headline. Twitter had one of its blowups when someone dishonestly posted a clip of Ben Shapiro saying that most people can’t afford to live in New York City while taking it out of context to say that no one deserves to be able to afford a house. The media does this all the time. And has gotten more blatant.
House Dems dug up three emails involving Epstein which mentioned Trump. The emails were sparse and one of them stated what we already knew, that Trump didn’t want anything further to do with Epstein or Maxwell.
House Dems also specifically redacted the name of Virginia Giuffre, now deceased, who had already said Trump had done nothing wrong, as VICTIM. Virginia is dead so there was no possible reason for redacting her name except to make Trump look bad.
So you can guess how the media covered it.
Epstein mentioned Trump multiple times in private emails, new release shows CNN
Trump ‘knew about the girls,’ Jeffrey Epstein said in email – NBC News
Epstein email says Trump ‘knew about the girls’ as White House calls its release a Democratic smear – AP
Epstein: Trump Knew – Mother Jones
At this point, I’m not sure who’s sleazier, Epstein or the media.
