Sexual Assault ~ Weinstein, Epstein, etc.

[Jim Malone]

Networks want to interview the British Royals, especially Harry and Meghan as well as Kate and Will. Putting that story back then would have killed off any opportunity to do so in future especially with the Andy allegations.

[Typical Lax Dad]

This is the definition of trolling. Ironic isn’t it? You provide nothing to discussion. I provide the truth and you try to squash it like a pathetic little sissy. Shut up and pay attention

I am! I ask again: what does leader Trump have to say on Epstein. Can't trust the MSM, correct? So what's the point in listening to them?

I believe the woman said it’s all coming out now? Seems like she missed a scoop.

[Typical Lax Dad]

Here’s the video to anyone that doesn’t believe me:

Good riddance. Dems protected a pedophile. No surprise but wow.

The UVA Rolling Stone article; people around the WC were all over that BS as the whole story smelled of rotten fish to most, myself included.

You're joking, right?

On Laxpower, there was ONE poster (just one, not even one more) who claimed at the beginning it was a hoax, he spelled out why it was a hoax, and his gift for being a lonely voice was he got roasted for weeks on end by everyone; not one other poster backed his alternative view. I do not recall his name, but I read the forum. And yes, he was called a rape apologist. I have no doubt that many here would do the same if the next story came out. I did not go back and look at the Nicholas Sandman thread if there is one, but I'd be willing to bet many people here roasted that kid without knowing the backstory. Am I right?

And btw, I am not smart; I am cautious. I don't fall for too-perfect stories. Too many people need stories to be true, so they believe them without inspection, then defend them to death even when it's proved wrong (Kavanaugh's deal comes to mind). I'm first in line to concede errors in thinking and otherwise. Most people refuse to consider any alternative.

Your insistence on Katie Hill forgoing her spot in congress because of 'revenge porn' is one such example of being so committed to your story you can't begin to see an alternative view.

What was your handle back then?

I was a lurker never a poster.

Interesting. Never posted but you recall that detail? Interesting.

I was a lurker for years. No residential broadband access in my then rural area.
Just reading the lax threads I followed was a laborious process.
Wasn't worth posting until I moved "up the road" to where residential high speed internet access was available.
I still recall stuff from before I started posting on LP.
It was clear to me that PB was referring to the UVA case, not the Duke case, ...but then I wasn't nit picking.

I think you’re correct, but of course that supports the claim that most national media programs are really just entertainment programs. Maybe we shouldn’t look up to them?

ABC repeated every far-fetched fantasy allegation against Kavanaugh yet spiked a real story with actual substance. Think about that.

Happens every day, and has since the invention of print.

It's why I laugh at the absurd idea that big media is liberal. Big media is about preserving power, and not rocking the boat...and, of course, ratings.

Money.

To you and a few other left leaning posters only.

You should be far less interested in people and far more interested in ideas. Unless you can’t debate them of course.

I found the idea that a 'lurker' would jump in with both feet by initially trolling Hopkins fans and then have such recall of a specific poster. I found the idea of it interesting..... the person, not so much.

Epstein and Weinstein are two good examples of this (Ralph Northam comes in a close 3rd here).

The attack on Kavanaugh was a disgrace, and anyone who has any interest in fairness would admit such. Every single instance of someone saying he did this or that has been thoroughly disproven and yet some still cling to the hope that a photo exists somewhere.... And again for posterity, I hate the guy's politics; he was done dirty by the DNC.

Ironically, he isn't nearly as 'conservative' as many on the Left feared; I'm surprised MDLax dislikes the guy; their politics are identical. Here is a great article by a very good author, Jane Coaston, to help explain this:

Please don't say who I "like" or don't "like". I would not have voted for him for the SCOTUS position due to what I perceived as his weaseling under oath and his demeanor under pressure. But I bet he's typically a swell guy, good dad, etc and we'd get along just fine. He's more socially conservative than I am, and appears to be more partisan than I'd be comfortable with for a judge, but I'd be happy to have a beer with him, talk family, etc.

BTW, best I recall Northam didn't 'abuse' any women. And the 'media' ripped him hard.
Seems to me that ripped Weinstein and Epstein really hard, deservedly...indeed that's how we actually know about these disgusting guys.

Now, it'd be fair to say that a whole lot of powerful folks, business associates, and 'friends' looked the other way, made excuses, etc...but blaming the media...who uncovered this stuff, believed the victims stories needed to be told?

Media went after Bill Clinton hard too...both during his original campaign, then Monica scandal.
Remember Gary Hart?

Should the culture have taken this stuff more seriously? You betcha...but blaming the media?

Every single instance I wrote about was uncovered by the feared right wing media of Bretitbart, RedState, The Federalist, etc... Only after the noise got too much, our national media was dragged into these stories kicking and screaming. You know that, MDlax...I respect you enough to know you know the deal. The media pendulum swings one way only excepting Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson. No need to debate that point; we all know the truth (and I have a theory on it which has to do with who ends up at J-schools in universities, but that is a story for another day).

Compare those three cases to the Kavanaugh case. Example: Avenatti somehow finds a complete lunatic (Julie Swetnik) who alleges a situation which on its face was as absurd as UVA's 10 fraternity brothers raping a coed on broken glass. What did the media do? They had Avenatti on endlessly to discuss his client's allegations. It took them all of 5 minutes to book Avenatti for 24 hour interview cycles that lasted days. No fact checking, just repeating the stpry.

And what do people remember about Julie Swetnik? Only that she alleged she witnessed a 'gang rape' by Kavanaugh. No one knows she recanted. Jiminy Christmas.
