For over two decades, the legacy media failed catastrophically in its responsibility to expose Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal empire. Rather than investigate, they actively suppressed the story, ignored survivors, buried leads, and protected the powerful individuals within Epstein’s orbit. Outlets like ABC, NBC, and The New York Times had ample evidence but chose access over accountability, prestige over principle. When whistleblowers and independent journalists tried to sound the alarm, they were smeared as conspiracy theorists. The media wasn’t just absent—they were complicit, operating as PR agents for the very elites they were supposed to scrutinize. Even after Epstein’s 2019 arrest, the media presented the scandal as if it were new, rewriting history to conceal their cowardice and protect their image.
Now, years later, those same outlets have shamelessly returned to the story, parroting talking points and revelations that the so-called “conspiracy crowd” had documented long ago. They grandstand as if they were in the trenches, all while ignoring their own role in shielding the system that allowed Epstein to thrive. Their sudden concern is not about justice—it’s about optics, narrative control, and political expediency. The Epstein scandal is not just about one man—it’s about the elite networks that enabled him and the media institutions that kept those networks safe. Until the press admits its role in the cover-up and holds everyone accountable—not just those who are no longer useful—its credibility remains broken. They were never the watchdogs. They were the gatekeepers. And their gates are stained with blood.
