B-Man Posted July 18 Posted July 18 RELIABLE Guess Who’s Behind WSJ’s Trump-Epstein ‘Bombshell’? It All Comes Together July 18, 2025 | Matt Margolis The Wall Street Journal embarrassed itself Thursday by hyping a so-called Trump-Epstein “bombshell” that amounted to nothing more than a disputed birthday card from 2003 that they won’t show, and that Trump denies writing and is now suing over. The rest of the story was recycled material long in the public domain. Desperate to revive the left’s failed narrative tying Trump to Epstein, the Journal grasped at straws while ignoring Epstein’s far more substantial connections to powerful Democrats like Bill Clinton, who flew on Epstein’s jet multiple times and visited his island — facts the media still downplays to this day. Joe Palazzolo, one of the Wall Street Journal reporters who broke the “blockbuster” story, previously worked for Main Justice, which is his only prior reporting experience listed in his bio. Joe joined the Journal in 2010 from trade publication Main Justice, where he covered the U.S. Justice Department. Before moving to the investigations team in 2019, he reported on national legal affairs for the Journal for seven years, focusing on the nation's prisons, courts, gun laws and law enforcement. Why does this matter? Well, Main Justice is a publication founded by Mary Jacoby. That name may not be familiar to you, but she is the wife of Glenn Simpson — the guy who founded Fusion GPS. That's the outfit Hillary Clinton and the DNC paid to concoct the infamous Steele Dossier that fueled the Russian collusion hoax. Guess where Glenn and Mary cut their teeth before exporting their political dirty tricks to the broader media? That’s right —The Wall Street Journal. https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/07/18/guess-whos-behind-wsjs-trump-bombshell-it-all-comes-together-n4941879
The Frankish Reich Posted July 19 Author Posted July 19 The non-hate take of the mainstream media. And it's a good and fair read. Find a non-gated version and read it! Then discuss how the hot takes of the alt Twittersphere compare .... Short story: a man ruined by religious zealotry. Not a condemnation of religion; a condemnation of zealots.

Good to know the NYT is doing their job. Pretty sure that’s the same paper that received a Pulitzer for Russia collusion reporting. 1
Orlando Buffalo Posted July 20 Posted July 20 As we find out all the details of spying on Trump 8 years ago, it is obvious that the Alternative places had some honesty and the mainstream places all lied in unison, while knowing they were lying. The Epoch times actually nailed the story, and had the facts, while the NYT, WP and every other large paper lied with malice. 1 2

Talk about something else other than the solid reporting done by the NYT on Boelter.

Yes it does. And now try this one: on the Opinion side of the NYT, Ross Douthut - their resident "conservative," although in a Paul Ryan kind of way (but certainly no TDS guy) - interview the Miami Herald (NOTE: Mainstream Media!) reporter who got the ball rolling on the whole Jeffrey Epstein thing way back when. A really interesting read. It may be available as a podcast too (sometimes those aren't firewalled). Here's some food for thought (excuse the TIkTok link; I know a lot of our readers really like pictures): Here's the full story: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/19/opinion/interesting-times-julie-k-brown-epstein.html Here's the part about how/why Epstein got such a sweetheart deal from the Miami prosecution in 2008: Brown: Well, I found out that Jeffrey Epstein, of course, had a lot of resources, both financially and politically. He cultivated people on both sides of the political aisle — and people across the world, really. He was very wealthy, but there was no real indicator of how he made his wealth. I just learned that he was able to hire essentially a dream team: Kenneth Starr, Alan Dershowitz, Jay Lefkowitz. A lot of these had contacts with the law firm of Kirkland & Ellis. Douthat: This is a very prominent law firm. Brown: And Epstein was very shrewd. Every lawyer that he hired had a tie to one of the prosecutors on the case. Alex Acosta had worked for Kirkland & Ellis. And he was very ambitious at the time. He really was a rising star in the G.O.P. Ironically, one of the ways that he was rising was he was handling a lot of child pornography cases. He was part of a team of prosecutors that was prosecuting child porn. So Epstein knew exactly who to hire. I mean, he even hired a lawyer that had dated one of the prosecutors. So every single lawyer had a tie to the prosecutors in some way and was sort of — if you’re a prosecutor, you want to eventually end up somewhere in a good law firm and make more money. So some of these prosecutors were star struck by some of these lawyers like Ken Starr and Alan Dershowitz. Douthat: So in that sense it looks like insiders and power create a kind of path of least resistance for the prosecution where you get some kind of conviction. You don’t have to end up at war with this legal all-star team spending all kinds of resources.

Orlando Buffalo Posted July 22 Posted July 22 The article being referenced is a hoax, the paper literally did not verify anything said other then the grandfather existed. 1
JDHillFan Posted July 22 Posted July 22 This seems like poor work from the reliable mainstream media but at least the NYT put together some reporting on the Minnesota assassin. I’m sure Frankish will weigh in.
