Why Is No One Covering Jeffrey Epstein?
All right,
the Crimson finally weighs in with a piece on the pervy billionaire, noting that Alan Dershowitz has become part of Epstein's defense team.
Dershowitz's first public move: Arguing that the girls can't be believed because some of their MySpace pages make reference to alcohol and pot. Attaboy, Alan! Go straight for the character assassination! Just so long as Epstein didn't force himself on
your 16-year-old daughter.....
But otherwise, the MSM is steadfastly ignoring this story. Um...why? A billionaire friend of Bill Clinton's, a mega-donor to Harvard, is arrested for successfully soliciting sex from minor girls. There's the possibility of favorable treatment from the police. And yet,
as Jossip.com points out, nothing in the New York Times....
...which, by the way, today covers the Mel Gibson freak-out not as a story in and of itself, but because of its business ramifications. Huge Hollywood Star Goes on Anti-Semitic Rampage—no, that's not a story. But
Huge Hollywood Star's Anti-Semitic Rampage Causes Consternation at Disney—all right, we can live with that.
(It is pretty funny, though, that Disney was actually partnering with Mel Gibson on a Holocaust mini-series. Next up: Louis Farrakhan tells the story of Israel.)
And how's this for news judgment: The Times mentions that Gibson uttered "a barrage of anti-Semitic remarks."
It just doesn't bother to tell its readers what they were....
