Today, the BBC bent the knee.
Yesterday, it came out that a NYT reporter had with emails from Jeffrey Epstein in 2015 that were highly damaging to Trump and were never disclosed to the public.
This is on top of WaPo, ABC, CBS all capitulating.

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

And not even a Pulitzer nomination for perhaps the biggest story in generations that directly defied all the coverups including other media.
And it's especially glaring given the incredible work done by Julie Brown and the Miami Herald.
Imagine if the Times had hired Julie Brown to spearhead the story and put the full faith and credit of the New York Times behind her, connecting the Florida and New York money trail.

A gold-standard NORC poll just dropped Trump to a devastating 33% approval & Republicans are peeling off fast, down 13 points since March. When one of the most credible pollsters in America shows your own base running for the lifeboats, it’s not a “deep-state hoax.” It’s a collapsing presidency.

The only reason we know anything about the Epstein files is because the survivors refused to give up.
This release is about the the bravery & tenacity of the survivors who continue to fight for justice in a system seeking to crush, silence, and erase them.

Did Trump spend Thanksgiving with Jeffrey Epstein
*in 2017*
While he was president
When Epstein was already a convicted sex offender
And long after Trump said he had cut ties with him years before
Wow
No wonder he’s fighting so hard to hide these files
It just keeps getting worse

Epstein survivor Haley Robson is saying what survivors have lived in silence: it’s enraging to watch Maxwell get grace, platforms, & preferential treatment while survivors get nothing. A system built to protect the powerful and abandon the people they hurt: corruption in real time.

Each Epstein email has so many layers of slime people miss some. This email is Ken Starr, fired for covering up sexual assault, offering to help his former client Jeffrey Epstein's friend's sexual harassment charges by introducing him to Jed Rubenfeld, later put on leave for sexual misconduct. 1/

Of course there's a difference, and it's reflected in many state laws.
But . . . that isn't the point. Middle-aged men coercing sexually mature but underage girls into sex is still illegal, exploitative, and vile. "But they weren't 8-year-olds!" is a really weird thing to say.

Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Enten: "Trump is 39 below water on the Epstein case. 39 points in the negative! My goodness gracious. What Trump has been selling on the Epstein files, the Epstein case, the American people have not been buying at all ... less than half of Republicans are buying it. This is his worst issue by far"
