Summary

"The idea should be very clear: Trump is going after the media to suppress coverage of the cover-up." The media is becoming complicit in the greatest cover-up in the history of American politics. The Epstein story isn't going away, no matter how hard Trump tries to make it disappear. But now that effort by Trump is pushing our media into a dark place that it may never return from.
