> Trump is a headline generator. The media undoubtedly supports him.

Isn't this like saying "doctors are pro heart disease because it keeps them employed"?

> Epstein headlines are big engagement vectors, yet haven’t seemed to bring about any sort of accountability.

True, but accountability for who exactly? There are a few people who are known to have been on the island - Prince Andrew, Bill Gates. No real accountability for them so far. Then there's a lot of suspicion around political figures like Trump and Bill Clinton, but no hard evidence. The fact that the Biden administration took no action here either suggests that either there's not enough evidence to actually do anything or prominent figures from both parties are implicated. I'd love to know the truth but I suspect that Epstein is going to be our generations JFK assassination and people are going to be spinning conspiracy theories about the situation for decades while the truth remains murky.


> there's not enough evidence to actually do anything

The fact there isn't enough evidence for a criminal conviction does not mean the public does not have a right to full transparency from the government. There is such a thing as public opinion. If Clinton is credibly implicated, we deserve to know so we can form a better opinion of him. Same for Trump.
