Access journalism is already a cancer. This is something worse than cancer.
Michael Wolff tried to buy New York Mag — with money from Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein.

So Wolff didn't just have a reporter-source relationship with Epstein. Nor was Wolff his informal PR adviser. They saw each other as potential business partners.

NEW @motherjones.com: When a 16-year-old accused Russell Brand of rape, Megyn Kelly begged conservatives to condemn him.

Now, with Epstein, she’s claiming it’s not quite fair to call him a a pedophile because he was “into the barely legal type” of minors. ⬇️

That plane is part of the California Medfly prevention program. You can literally Google the tail number. Also if the military was trying to do some nefarious plot spraying airborne chemicals you think they'd be squawking their full ass registration?

In March, a security guard at Club Dwntown sucker punched Rafeal Montoya and killed him. Police officers watched it happen and did nothing and the security has never been charged. Now he’s missing.

Turns out the security guard was Charles "Brandon" Recor, a Proud Boy with a history of violence.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Still remember when she had her "I'm sorry" media tour only to start a PR agency that pushed election deniers and QAnon people. Her press releases are something else.
