> It’s not really worth going into the mechanics of what led one of the world’s richest people down the same dumb rabbit hole...<p>Wow, what journalism. Not worth going into? A journalist uninterested in investigating a bizarre, damaging set of allegations? You have to pay journalists to not do that!<p>I find it funny that they focus on the pizza place, when the real meat of the conspiracy theory, that the most powerful people in the world frequented a plane called the Lolita express and went to an island owned by a known pedophile and human trafficker known for throwing parties for the sake of trafficking people, that cameras malfunctioned right when he killed himself in a federal prison cell, is much more interesting. I don't think anyone really disputes that powerful people do whatever they want regardless of law or morality, that they use their power to get away with it, or that it's likely that for at least some subset of them, the "whatever they want" involves trafficked children. But sure, let's talk about the pizza place, it's not worth going into.<p>If you need any more evidence that the media is nothing more than state or special interest propaganda you really need to contemplate all your choices that you've ever made, because your mind was lost to you somewhere in your past. If you don't have the stomach for that, numerous videos exist online for you to find of prominent news anchors talking about having the Epstein story years before his arrest and subsequent death and their higher ups telling them to squash it, that should suffice.
