Algorithmic Distraction From The Epstein Files
- Charlamagne Tha God highlights how unserious journalism amplified unverified Epstein tip-line claims about Pusha T, Jay-Z, and Eminem.
- He argues these headlines distracted attention from more consequential Epstein revelations and elite accountability.
Large Release, Limited Legal Leads
- The DOJ released roughly 3.5 million Epstein-related records that include unredacted survivor details and many non-prosecutable tips.
- Charlamagne notes the files contain names and communications but that presence alone doesn’t imply guilt.
Check Tips Before You Share
