The Sordid Tale Of  Epstein And How The Legacy Media Continues To Miss The Bigger Picture

The Sordid Tale Of Epstein And How The Legacy Media Continues To Miss The Bigger Picture

The legacy media loves to pat itself on the back for finally covering Jeffrey Epstein once he was arrested in 2019, but the truth is, they missed the story for decades—and that failure wasn’t accidental. For years, major outlets treated Epstein as a quirky billionaire with “mystery wealth” instead of digging into how he made his fortune, who enabled him, and what exactly was going on inside his homes and on his island. Even when survivors spoke out, their voices were buried, sidelined, or reduced to gossip-page fodder. The press had access, the resources, and the evidence, but time and again they chose not to connect the dots. They focused on lurid details only after Epstein became too toxic to ignore, all while ignoring the structural rot that allowed him to thrive.


What’s worse is how the media continues to miss the big picture even now. Instead of relentless investigation into Epstein’s financial networks, intelligence ties, or the power players who shielded him, they’ve defaulted to shallow narratives, quick-hit headlines, and recycled speculation about “lists” and celebrity gossip. By narrowing the lens to scandal and personality, the press shields the institutions that made Epstein possible: banks, universities, government agencies, and the so-called justice system that protected him. This isn’t just incompetence; it’s complicity. The media’s failure has given cover to the powerful and left survivors fighting to tell the truth on their own. They didn’t just miss the story—they helped bury it.
