Here’s an interesting series of statistics, from Curtis Houk’s article at the invaluable newsbusters.org website:
As part of the elitist liberal media’s campaign to destroy President Trump’s second term by tying him to Jeffrey Epstein and his odious life of sex trafficking minors, the major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS and NBC have spent a gargantuan 1,033 minutes — or 17 hours and 13 minutes — since July 7 on their flagship morning and evening newscasts and Sunday talk shows seeking to establish an disturbing connection between them.
This new tally — which began after an FBI memo said Epstein died by suicide and there was no “client list” — marked just over a 20 percent increase (20.52%) from our first study on the morning of November 18, meaning the networks added just under 213 minutes (212:53) in 34 days.
ABC remained the leading network toiling away on the Epstein with roughly 416 minutes, which translates to nearly seven hours of speculation. NBC remained in second at 364 minutes and CBS was still in third at 252 minutes.
Since our last study, ABC added the least amount of time with only 58 minutes combined to add to the totals for Good Morning America (169:15), World News Tonight (139:28), and This Week (107:13).
I’ll ask the question I keep asking every time I post epstein-related blogs: what are the networks accusing Trump of? What specific claims are they making, other than that Trump had a relationship with epstein decades ago – as did just about every trendy socialite in New York and Palm Beach.
The answer is nothing. Absolutely nothing. You can drown in their innuendo. But where are the specifics? Where are the accusations? The specific accusers? Where is ANYTHING?
And do they dispute that Trump broke off his relationship with epstein over 20 years ago, or that they became enemies, not friends? Nope?
And do they ever remind their viewers that Joe Biden was President for four years, with total access to all these files? That if there were anything of any substance there he would have USED it? And that this is just as true of Kamala Harris? Nope.
The idea seems to be that if you say epstein and Trump in the same breath – i.e. in the same article – enough times, you don’t have to have anything else. People will associate the two and your mission is accomplished…
…as long as the mission has nothing to do with actual journalism.
Pathetic doesn’t begin to describe this. But that isn’t stopping them, is it?
And then they wonder why fewer and fewer people trust them? WHY?
