New York Magazine Grumbles that Media Epstein Overkill is Ineffective
Newsbusters ^ | April 3, 2025 | P.J. Gladnick

Take note Politico.

EPSTEIN! EPSTEIN! EPSTEIN! It has been used so much that it is no longer effective according to Ed Kilgore of New York magazine. Much as Kilgore would like to see President Donald Trump's popularity decline due to the media constantly trying to connect him with Jeffrey Epstein, it is just not working. Kilgore pretty much threw the towel into the ring on Thursday in "Why Trump’s Epstein Files Scandal May Not Be Hurting Him After All."

If you take away Epstein overkill, you rip the guts out of Politico. Their overkill on this topic has gone into the realm of the absurd. Meanwhile nary a word from Politico on Russiagate. Why? Because to cover it in any detail reveals that Russia! Russia! Russia! was a HOAX perpetrated by Hillary and abetted by John Brennan with the aid of James Clapper and James Comey.

They shot themselves in the foot with Russiagate/ pee tapes / nonsensical legal troubles in New York
If they focused on one thing it might have been more effective. Every bad news story about Trump is just background noise at this point

Epstein is at root about sex.

Women have prurient interests at the top of their being.

There can be no Epstein media over kill.

This story was published in April. And yet some Democrats are still screaming Epstein at every turn. I guess they never heard of the phrase “beating a dead horse.”

Most people with two active brain cells (that includes some democrats) intuitively know that if there was any dirt on Trump regarding Epstein, it would have been exposed under Biden.

There is none.

It's so funny! Every time they come up with a new gotcha, it blows up in their collective face.

You'd think they'd learn, but if they were smart enough to learn they wouldn't be Democrats/wokies in the first place.

Please, please oh Pulllleeeeezzzzze STOP telling the leftside media that NOBODY who really matters cares about the flood of Epstein S and B. It’s comical watching, reading and listening to them trying to “out-inane” each other while thoroughly believing that anybody really cares. Do it for the sake of political comedy history.

Too much Epstein? That’s like saying “Hallmark makes too many Christmas movies”.

“Epstein is at root about sex.”

This is why Diddy was not convicted. If they really went after Diddy, he would have given up more people and it would eventually filter back to Epstein. People who are part of Epstein and Diddy’s circle of friends are I am going to assume are the same.

Why it’s not hurting Trump, is because the whole Epstein case is not about Trump.

We will never turn on Trump. Lefties think everyone is a treacherous backstabber like themselves. Pure projection. These are the leftists who welcome any form of perversion. Who are happy when old perverts invade the girls bathrooms. Sick, twisted and dangerous Their opinions are worthless.
