Corporate Media Silence Deafening as Former Clinton Aide Confirms Ties to
Jeffrey Epstein
The bombshell that Clinton's closest confidant confirmed the former
president's many trips aboard the "lolita express" has been totally ignored
by the New York Times, Washington Post, NBC News, MSNBC, CBS News, and CNN.

Atop Clinton insider has revealed that the former president visited the
Caribbean home of notorious sex predator Jeffrey Epstein. In a long
interview last week with Vanity Fair, longtime aide to Bill Clinton, Doug
Band, noted that, contrary to the official line, his boss did indeed spend
time on Little Saint James, the private island that the billionaire
pedophile used as a base to traffick and rape women and children.
Neither Band nor his interviewer appeared to realize the gravity of what he
was revealing, the subject being touched upon only briefly towards the end
of a wide-ranging 7,000-word conversation in which he noted that in January
2003, Clinton flew on Epstein's notorious "Lolita Express" private jet to
the island. Band appeared to bring the incident up only as a way of
distancing himself from the disgraced pedophile, who died under mysterious
circumstances in a Manhattan prison in July last year. Band insisted that he
knew nothing of Epstein's misdeeds, but "got enough bad vibes that he
advised Clinton to end the relationship," refusing to travel aboard
Epstein's jet with his employer. Flight logs show Clinton made around two
dozen trips on the infamous airplane.
Band is certainly a source in the know. For years he served as Clinton's
most trusted aide and confidant, traveling by his side and arranging his
appointments for him. The former president famously did not carry even a
cellphone, meaning that everyone from journalists to even Hillary and
Chelsea Clinton would have had to go through Band to speak to him.

Band's testimony adds weight to others who have already said they saw him on
the island. Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre previously stated that Clinton
"strolled into" Epstein's private villa with "two lovely girls" in his arms.
"There was no modesty between any of them," she said. "I remember asking
Jeffrey what's Bill Clinton doing here," Giuffre said in an interview
earlier this year, "and he laughed it off and said 'well he owes me a
favor.'" Epstein's former IT and maintenance contractor also said he saw the
former president on the island, an assertion that Clinton has denied. The
former president was also photographed receiving a massage from Epstein
victim Chauntae Davies while at an airport, on route via the Lolita Express.
While the press might be forgiven for focussing more on the pandemic and the
election, the virtual silence from corporate media has been deafening. The
bombshell that Clinton's closest confidant - whom friends describe as being
like a "son" to him - has been totally ignored by the New York Times,
Washington Post, NBC News, MSNBC, CBS News, and CNN, with no relevant
results appearing in searches on their websites. ABC News, which for three
years sat on information that could have resulted in an arrest, also did not
cover the story.
It was therefore left to more Republican-aligned, anti-Democrat media to
play it up, the news appearing in conservative outlets like the Daily Wire,
Fox News, and the New York Post. Unfortunately, this reinforces a partisan
understanding of the Epstein case. Earlier this year, a MintPress study of
one year of Epstein coverage on MSNBC and Fox News found intensely partisan
coverage of the predator's ties to Presidents Trump and Clinton. While MSNBC
stressed his connections to the Republicans and downplayed his links to
their preferred president, Fox News did the opposite, overwhelmingly
focusing on the Clinton connections while failing to inform viewers about
his relationship with the sitting president.
Study: Partisan Media Coverage of Epstein Mask His links to Both Sides
A new study revealed that both MSNBC and Fox News slanted their coverage to
highlight either Clinton or Trump's links to Jeffrey Epstein.

Clinton has a long history of accusations of sexual misconduct against him.
Arkansas nursing home administrator Juanita Broaddrick claimed that he raped
her in 1978 while he was Attorney General of the state. Paula Jones accused
Clinton of sexual assault and exposing himself to her in 1991, while
Kathleen Willey accused Clinton of groping her without her consent in 1993.
On the last charge, he reportedly proclaimed his innocence by arguing that
Wiley's breasts were not big enough for him to be interested. He was also
infamously impeached for lying about his affair with 22-year-old White House
intern Monica Lewinsky. Trump, meanwhile, also has his own history of sexual
misconduct, the Wikipedia page on the subject is nearly 10,000 words long.
Epstein was a convicted sex offender who was accused by dozens of women of
trafficking, rape, or sexual assault, his crimes also involving a host of
wealthy and well-connected individuals. His own enormous wealth appears to
have come from his suspicious connection to Victoria's Secret tycoon Leslie
Wexner. For years, his links to the most influential figures and
organizations seem to have kept him from justice, and, after his death, put
the spotlight on them. Over the years, he built up a vast portfolio of
connections to the rich and powerful all over the world, which included
business magnates, heads of state, university professors, and some of the
nation's top journalists. Perhaps this explains why so few in the media are
willing to touch the latest twist in this neverending story.
