An independent activist journalist has been digging into the case and has come up with some interesting and alarming connections and history. Worth a read: https://libertyblitzkrieg.com/2019/07/08/the-jeffrey-epstein...

I find it interesting that both the words independent and activist had to be brought out to qualify the wonderful journalism from Michael Krieger. Wasn't there a time when it was somewhat assumed that journalists were both independent and activists to some extent?

Thanks for sharing the link!

Once upon a time, yes, I think that was the perception of journalism. Activists in the sense they sought to expose the public to interesting information for the good of transparency.
