Scroll down a bit.
What is that "SPONSORED LINKS" at the bottom? We wrote about it earlier today.
Trust in media , right? We need that. Without it, how would we get information?
We wrote about this earlier today in relation to British media covering up for Bill Epsteingate. Someone later submitted that story to 'HackerNews', where it became popular, hit the front page, and was then "flagged" for no specified reason. Is Y Combinator protecting Bill Epsteingate by burying relevant stories that are 1) factual; 2) polite; 3) provide relevant sources? Does that mean 'HackerNews' helps cover up for Jeffrey Epstein and hides what he and his closest friends did to women?
Regardless, a lot of what's left of the media is ads and sponsored narratives/storytelling. Society is worse off for it. Women too are worse off for it. Tomorrow we'll publish a story relevant to this. █
