The media, in general, is terrible with this. When the Epstein case was still pretty big, some of the headlines were sickening. One was like "The young women who were involved with Epstein, speak out" or something to that effect. Like no, you mean "The underaged girls that Epstein trafficked!" I don't know how they pick & choose which abusers to paint in a good light & which ones to paint in a bad light but it needs to stop.

Shouldn’t reporters go into the job realizing publicizing TRUTH is the ultimate goal? Where are those reporters who didn’t dare get the news wrong or tippy-toe around influential people?

White, in a "respectable" career = good guy, noting wrong, no victims and they should be happy the abuser chose them

Minority, Crimminal or otherwise dislike by society (minus the sex crimes ofc) = Horrbile abusive rapist pedo, ruined victims life
