Politico Finds Clinton Interesting, Not His Policy Legacy
Politico dutifully reports on the Epstein files dragging Bill Clinton back into the spotlight, framing it as a 'Trump-world' distraction. The piece highlights the 'boogeyman' narrative, ensuring readers understand who's really behind the scrutiny. What they don't scrutinize, however, is the structural power that protects the powerful, regardless of who's on the flight manifest. While they obsess
over Clinton's travel logs, the real scandal of political influence – the kind that leads to endless wars and corporate handouts – gets a pass. It's almost as if focusing on celebrity association prevents a deeper look into the systemic corruption that shapes foreign policy or economic inequality, issues far more impactful than who flew on a private jet. How many other powerful individuals are
quietly shaping policy outcomes, while we're distracted by the familiar faces of scandal?
