Enjoy comedian Bill Burr’s pungent take on ABC burying the Epstein story. Very little new information, but a good articulation of the outrage most of the nation feels over the story, at perhaps a slightly higher level of profanity.
“Oh you mean the part where you had evidence of these f*cking super rich people banging kids, that’s a private moment of frustration, and it all goes away?”
(Hat tip: Ace of Spades HQ.)
Assuming you’re not getting your news from unreliable sources like ABC, you’ve probably already seen the Project Veritas tape with ABC news reporter Amy Robach, about how her network spiked a story on Jeffrey Epstein’s pdophile ring three years ago. But just in case you haven’t, here it is:
Like every other normal person in America, she thinks Epstein was murdered.
Naturally, when this story came out, ABC vowed to find out who spiked the Epstein story and terminate them.
Ha! Just kidding! They’ve sworn to track down and punish the leaker. Because what’s protecting a serial pedophile compared to punishing those who have tarnished your reputation by revealing the truth?
Katie Pavlich thinks the main person behind spiking the story is Clinton-crony-come-on-air ABC personality George Stephanopoulos.
While the mainstream media tries to stonewall the story (yet another reason they all deserve to be abandoned by advertisers and shutdown), just about every blogger has thrown in their two cents worth. So rather than anything like analysis, enjoy this Twitter reaction roundup sampler:
Imagine if ABC investigated Epstein as hard as they hunted down the ABC whistleblower, he might have been murdered in his cell 3 years ago. https://t.co/QAu2xO2TZK

ABC News' Amy Robach says she had the bombshell story on Jeffrey Epstein 3 years ago
That means she had the story in 2016
She said "we had [Bill] Clinton"
In 2016, Bill Clinton's wife, Hillary, was running for president
We may never know why ABC News killed the story

Put this ABC-Epstein news in context:
They sat on this story for 3 years
What was 3 years ago?
Donald Trump vs. Hillary Clinton
Who was implicated in the Epstein story?
Bill Clinton
Now do you understand why ABC decided the story wasn't up to their "editorial standards"
🤔

STOP 🛑
Please DO NOT miss this:
ABC had photographic evidence & multiple firsthand testimonies busting open the largest pedophile ring in America history.
It’s unforgivable that they killed the story — but it’s criminal that they did not give the evidence to law enforcement.

2. It's rather extraordinary that the news division of one of the three broadcast networks is not going address a major controversy involving a huge story by either having someone read a statement on air but more importantly with having one of its reporters cover it as a story

4. It appears that ABC News is trying to sweep this controversy under the rug by refusing to address this matter on-air and by declining to cover it as a news story.
They have not denied the legitimacy of the video.

I’m glad you guys covered this instead of Epstein’s trail of sexual abuses. Well done, firefighting media. https://t.co/Th4UWGN6Ww

NBC kills the Weinstein Story and gives Matt Lauer a Rape button
CBS employed and kept quiet about Les Moonves and Charlie Rose
ABC Killed the Epstein Story.
ALL 3 ran with “anything” that dropped into their lap about Judge Kavanaugh. Disgusting.

Things That Do Meet ABC's "Rigorous" Editorial Standards:
– Hilariously fake Syrian "war footage" shot in Kentucky
– Russia collusion hoax
– Kavanaugh slander
– Nick Sandmann hoaxThings That Do Not Meet ABC Standards:
– Solid evidence that Bill Clinton is in a pedophile ring

Fake News Media: "The Epstein story didn't meet the high standards we've set for ourselves!"
Me: "You you spent WEEKS putting E. Jean Carroll on magazine covers & TV interviews!"
Fake News Media: Well that was Trump!"

I guess I'm sort of surprised that wanting to know why an internationally known pedophile was allowed to skate is becoming some kind of fringe issue of the right. Why wouldn't this matter to the left? Because "protect *our* media at all cost" or what?

ABC: Air the unsubstantiated Kavanaugh allegations!
ABC: Demonize the Covington Catholic kids for smirking!
ABC: Jussie Smollett is the victim of a hate crime!
ABC: But dear God, don't air an interview with a Jeffrey Epstein accuser or we might not get to talk to Will & Kate.

*Is -palooza a sufficiently OK Boomer suffix to snark with, or do I have to reach all the way back to -stock or -gate?
