Sky News claim ‘being in Epstein Files not a sign of wrongdoing’

In a grim social media post, Sky News have said the following over the Epstein files:

As people pointed out, this was entirely the wrong way of wording this.

And yet the tweet remains up.

What?

Sky News were actually responding to their own tweet:

As we reported, the newly released files have just exposed that Peter Mandelson took tens of thousands of pounds from Epstein. They also exposed that Mandelson wanted the cash to be sent in smaller amounts – seemingly so he could avoid paying tax.

This is a sign of wrongdoing.

Richard Branson, meanwhile, was exposed for giving Epstein PR advice on how he could salvage his reputation post-sex crimes.

Morally, if nothing else, this is also a sign of wrongdoing.

Do you know who else was mentioned in the Epstein Files?

Jeffrey fucking Epstein.

Are there signs that he got up to any wrongdoing!?

Wordplay over Epstein

Here’s how Sky News could have worded it:

‘Being mentioned in the Epstein Files is not confirmation of criminal wrongdoing.’

They could also have just kept quiet.

If Peter Mandelson didn’t want to get tarred with the brush of a convicted sex criminal, THEN PETER MANDELSON SHOULD NOT HAVE MAINTAINED A LONG TERM FRIENDSHIP WITH A CONVICTED SEX CRIMINAL.

Here’s how other people responded:

Why are they like this?

One of the key takeaways from the Epstein Files is that rich and influential people are all colluding in private to do unspeakable things. When Sky News posted the above, people didn’t think ‘maybe we should give Mandelson the benefit of the doubt‘; they thought ‘so Sky News are in on it too‘.

And make no mistake; this widespread suspicion of institutions could be a positive development.

Because the first step towards throwing out the degenerate elites is acknowledging they exist.
