You greatly overestimate the #NYT in 2026. Waffle, special pleading, and concern-trolling about "re-victimising" the victims by shaming the abusers. The NYT scolds us at length for not trusting the govt, but also warns the DoJ can't be trusted to redact victims names correctly so the abusers should be secret, too. Then something about #feminism.

"The release of the files is also cause for concern because so much of the raw investigative material in them — untold layers of hearsay, unverified accusations and vague circumstantial connections — ought not be released for the public to pick over. We don’t know the degree to which the Justice Department has appropriately or inappropriately withheld or redacted documents. We do know that any effort to protect victims was woefully inadequate, as explicit photos and identifying information of many women, and possibly girls, have been found in the files. The government’s obligation not to revictimize people ought to be one of its highest priorities. Here, it failed." Hardly anything nuanced here because the core argument is that they should have remained sealed. Don't forget that these files are not of an ongoing investigation but of a case where Epstein was convicted and the files contain details of why he was convicted. You can read it yourself and come up to your conclusions. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/23/opinion/epstein-files-justice-department.html

My bad, I assumed and made an ass out of me. The "re-victimization" angle is so bad. Guess I was still giving them a shred of credit. The first paragraph you copied does point to the angle I suspected was in there though.

WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. THERE IS ZERO DEFENSE OF EXPOSING FUCKING AND EATING KIDS 🤣
