I've been following Michael Tracey since before he decided to take a look at the Epstein saga. His work is what journalism is at its best: intelligent, fearless, completely unfazed by popular trends/opinions. He describes himself as having a hide thicker than an elephants, but I think he's selling himself short. For about six months he's been publishing the easily available facts: there is no substance behind the hysteria. The "victims" are lying grifters and in a lot of cases seriously batshit crazy. But he's been completely on his own in doing this. And copping a tsunami of pedo-sewage abuse, death-threats, etc. Until just recently. There's been a change since the last release of files and new round of trashing of innocent people's lives. Tracey's getting invites to all sorts of podcasts now. Claire Lehman at Quillette, Brendan O'Neil at Spiked -- all the classical liberal types who should have been on this from the start, but didn't want the hassle, are now prepared to talk about it. Compact's article is just further proof of the change taking place. The Epstein lunacy--setting a new bar, I reckon--has probably peaked and one day, before too long, will probably just disappear, never to be spoken of again. That will be when the next pizzagate hallucination breaks and we'll finally see the true vision of all those babies Hilary Clinton regularly rapes and eats. This Epstein stuff will be worth a footnote in history, and I hope Tracey's name gets the recognition it deserves. A bright light in a very dark and deranged media landscape. |
