    1. Yesterday Trump gave a briefing where he offered good wishes to a woman who allegedly helped run one of the most horrifying child rape networks in history. The general response of the mainstream media was to applaud his sobriety & new tone of seriousness.

        2. You think I jest but here's a good set of clips from the Daily Show covering a broad swath of mainstream reaction to a briefing where Trump repeatedly talked about the "China virus"https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow/status/1285727792143822848 …

        3. Some more thoughts on how both sides journalism plus institutional deference to presidency leads mainstream media to repeatedly judge Trump on a curve and ignore the actual words he says.https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/media-grading-trump-curve/ …

        The media reaction was astoundingly muted. I mean, a headline like, “President uses platform to send positive message to accused child rapist” would have been more appropriate in this case.

        Yes, it's ON the front page - but not very prominently. Also "enticement" is a little light for what the case has asserted was "participation."pic.twitter.com/feZ5D8QhOj

        Its very important to know that Maxwell didn't just help run Epsteins operation but heavily abused many of the victims as well.
