Puzzle: Why Did ABC Kill The Epstein Story?
We've all read (I hope) the new stories strongly suggesting that Jeffrey Epstein--pedo-purveyor to the rich, famous, and reckless (unafraid of blackmail)--was murdered in jail, rather than committing suicide. You may wonder why we haven't heard more about that. Probably for some reason like this:
ABC News' Amy Robach says she had the bombshell story on Jeffrey Epstein 3 years ago
That means she had the story in 2016
She said "we had [Bill] Clinton"
In 2016, Bill Clinton's wife, Hillary, was running for president
We may never know why ABC News killed the story

Of course, ABC says the reason they didn't go with that story was because it didn't meet their "standards" of journalism. To which Don Surber responds (Item 2):
Those are the same ABC standards that aired a tape of military training in Kentucky as a "Slaughter in Syria."
Just a reminder that this passed @ABC editorial standards https://t.co/1xgaGWD0Qh
