Media been minimizing crimes for years through the concept of “sensitive topics”. Many users are so used to them they even self-censor. There is no murder or rape in media nowadays, people are simply “unalived” or “having involuntary sex”.
Because the media is evil, the same people who helped jeffery do all that stuff are the same people who fund the media
Today I learned that the definition of rape is something other than “sex without consent”
What do you mean?
If it did, then “child rape” would mean “sex with a child without consent” but according to the op, there is no such thing as sex with a child, so that can’t be true.
Someone else already explained to you why that’s clearly not what OP meant.
Then you can read my comment as pointing out how the OP worded their post very poorly.
Children cannot give consent to sex.
Yep. But since sex with a child doesn’t exist, non consensual sex with a child doesn’t exist either, so child rape must be some other thing.
Or maybe op is full of shit.
Turns out maybe the entire american system is complete shit from top to bottom. Who’d’a thought that starting out with genocide and slavery could have built up to something like this?
Corporate media is not real. That’s part of the fuckery.
I (American) remember visiting the UK for the first time when I was like 8. I remember thinking it odd that they referred to “car accidents” as “car crashes.”
They’re not all accidents.
Are you sure you’re not remembering watching Hot Fuzz
Reminder to watch that again, though it seems to be on at least a yearly viewing. I could do more but don’t want my gf to never suggest it, it’s always a treat when she wants to watch it too. Seriously one of the best movies of all time (though at my age that list grows but probably only 20-30 now I don’t keep track).
Yes, yes, a thousand times YES!
I’ll take a stab at answering all three of these questions with one answer.
The reason it’s being reported like this, is because the same CEOs that own the media reporting it this way, are the same shithead CEOs that miss going to their favorite little island.
Lee Harvey Oswald was killed so he couldn’t talk about what he knew, and so was Epstein.
In both cases, too many people stood to be exposed for what they had done. Just in very different ways.
Had Epstein been able to talk, 99% of billionaires and elite would be exposed.
Many say so was Jack Ruby. But I digress.
They’re a “ghurl” when it’s an adult waitress serving folks at a restaurant in Tuscan, but the moment its the president of the united states sticking his finger into a 13 year old’s genitals, she’s a “young women”. Fucking pedophiles from top to bottom.
Dershowitz, the same gross creepy lawyer that helped Epstein with his sweetheart deal & taught at Harvard was not only known for his frequent lectures about how men accused of rape are the real victims, but that they should lower the age of consent. And he was accused by Virginia Guffrie, and recent files shows her lawyer likely was working against her. And his explanation is that he kept his panties on while getting a massage. This is who the media frequently interviews to pedosplain the tragedy.
Probably trying to minimize the possibility that the words “child rape” or “pedophile” will occur within screenshotting distance of an ad for kid swimsuits or something. Journalistic integrity isn’t brand friendly.
Now imagine that
(It’s a fucking tablet. In 2026. I can’t get over it)
Well that would be yet another new definition then.
It is a really weird thing to say, and you can still find a lot of articles that use the term “underage women”. But, it’s not like articles that use that term are necessarily trying to apologize for Epstein or minimize what happened.
I think the problem is that they want to use the term “underage” because they want to clarify that what happened wasn’t legal. The proper term for an “underage woman” is a “girl”. But, unfortunately, “girl” is also used with adult women. So, saying “Trump had sex with some of the girls” doesn’t really clarify what happened. And, the term “underage girls” is also bad. That’s the kind of language you might find from someone like Megyn Kelly trying to draw a distinction between sex with an 8 year old vs. sex with a 15 year old.
But, it’s not like articles that use that term are necessarily trying to apologize for Epstein or minimize what happened.
That’s a subjective interpretation, and a valid one, I just disagree with it.
Whether or not they’re “trying” to is even sort of irrelevant - it does minimize it. My opinion is that they know very well that that language minimizes it.
I’m sure I can find you a bunch of articles where there’s no sign they’re trying to minimize what happened but they happen to use that term. I just think English is tricky. What term do you think they should be using?
It depends, but “girls 11-14” might be a start.
That doesn’t work when the details are fuzzy, for example, this paragraph:
House Democrats Wednesday released a small batch of emails that appear to suggest President Donald Trump knew more about Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking of underage women than he has acknowledged.
https://theweek.com/politics/house-democrats-release-epstein-emails-trump
You couldn’t say “Trump knew more about Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking of girls 11-14 than he has acknowledged”. That suggests that the emails that were released referenced those specific ages, which they don’t.
You couldn’t say “Trump knew more about Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking of girls 11-14 than he has acknowledged”.
You could say emails suggest Trump knew more about Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking of girls 11-14 than he has acknowledged". You sure could. You sure should! It’s the truth! It’s recorded in many places, witnessed by many people!
You clearly have no idea how fact checking works in journalism. They couldn’t make that claim.
You clearly have no idea how fact checking works in journalism.
Yeah right. IF that was true (and let me be clear - you have no idea what the fuck I know about) then a “free press” has been neutralized by the destruction of language. That’s a pretty arguable point. But.
Complicity is not handing over lists of names for people to be sent to camps. (it is, but) Complicity is super-boring shit where you approve the most mealy-mouthed nothingburgers all day long. Corporate news sewers are failing us every day, in almost every article.
And this “OMG You Can’t Say That Because It’s Not KNOWN” is why everybody thinks that’s the case.
Have you listened to first hand testimony from the Trumpstein victims? Have you? Okay you haven’t but that’s fine because they don’t make it into the NYT and CBS news. If you ever do, though, what you’ll find is that evidence that can be used to convict in a court of law will never be printed in the news. You think that has to do with fact checking in journalism? Don’t be a fool.
Chomsky’s Manufacturing Consent is a confession and a revealing of the method
Yes. I don’t really look up to Chomsky anymore, but 70% of what he said are correct, the other 30% are genocide denialism and his shocking defense of Epstein even after the latter has been captured.
Some are trying to dodge legal action against them, others are owned.
Well, all of them are owned.
There are a few out there still on the right side of history. Never enough thought.
I don’t see how it’s possible to be on the right side and still not publish, often and explicitly, that the person who is president and leader of republicans is a demented rapist conman who ran a child sex trafficking ring, staged a violent coup attempt, and routinely steals taxpayer money for himself while promoting the murder of American citizens and regularly commits war crimes proudly.
NOT saying that - every day in every way possible seems like capitulation if not collaboration.
Edit: just to state the obvious I’m not a publisher and if I were I’d make no money probably.
Not everyone has the fortitude of an Iranian school kid.
What legal action does calling a child an underage woman prevent?
In THIS situation, it is plural. It’s SERIAL rape of children.
Know your presidents.
Didn’t we already do this exact post like 2 or 3 weeks ago?
