Incompetence Is the Cover Story: The Legacy Media’s Favorite Epstein Excuse(1/6/26)

The Epstein scandal continues to be misrepresented by legacy media as a story of bureaucratic incompetence rather than one of systemic protection. By leaning on explanations like “risk-averse prosecutors,” poor inter-agency communication, or cultural shifts post-#MeToo, mainstream coverage minimizes a case that involved overwhelming evidence, repeated allegations, and a consistent pattern of Epstein avoiding consequences across decades and jurisdictions. These narratives sanitize what should have been obvious red flags, treating Epstein like a complicated anomaly instead of a man who benefited from extraordinary insulation that regular defendants never receive. Framing critics as mere “cynics” further dismisses informed analysis and shields institutions from accountability.

This downplaying serves a purpose: incompetence is a safe explanation that preserves faith in powerful systems and avoids confronting uncomfortable questions about influence, intent, and protection. By focusing on process failures rather than deliberate choices, legacy media substitutes passive language and vague theories for hard scrutiny of who made decisions and why Epstein repeatedly survived scandals that should have ended him. The result is coverage that blurs responsibility, discredits victims by implication, and obscures the structural reality of power protecting one of its own. In doing so, the media doesn’t just misunderstand the Epstein case—it actively contributes to the ongoing erasure of its true scope.
