Al Jazeera Discovers Trump's Epstein Ties Exist, Omits Everyone Else's
Al Jazeera reports that newly released Epstein documents allege Donald Trump flew on Epstein's jet eight times in the 1990s, sometimes with Ghislaine Maxwell. This selective outrage seems rather quaint, given the widely reported list of politicians, celebrities, and world leaders who were also frequent flyers and visitors to Epstein's various 'residences'. One might wonder why the media, after
years of drip-fed revelations, consistently focuses on a single, politically convenient individual while collectively deeming others—like Bill Clinton, for instance—as merely 'curious acquaintances' or 'irrelevant to the current news cycle'. While Trump's alleged flights are certainly newsworthy, the consistent media strategy appears to be a slow-drip of information that keeps the scandal
contained. We're told Epstein had 'powerful friends' but rarely see comprehensive, aggregated reporting on the full list of these friends and their alleged activities. The pattern suggests a careful de-escalation of outrage, framing the Epstein saga as an isolated, albeit depraved, incident, rather than the symptom of a deeply entrenched network shielding the powerful. Apparently, some powerful
men's jet logs are more equal than others.
