Attention American press and mainstream media

There's plenty of scoops and ratings and promotions waiting in whomever cracks open the Epstein finances and fiasco.

Wow...What a toxic story.

Fox News is showing they are content to portray Epstein as a lone wolf predator.
I think other media will do the same.
Their corporate masters are afraid of where all the tentacles may lead.

The only exception is the Miami Herald.
We shall see if they are content to win a Pulitzer and Epstein’s scalp only or if they have the courage to go WHEREVER the facts may lead.
