Mainstream journalism encounters significant challenges, particularly regarding transparency from power figures. Attorney General Pam Bondi's invitation to MAGA influencers resulted in disappointment as most released information on Jeffrey Epstein was already public. Influencers like Jack Posobiec expressed frustration over receiving recycled data. Powerful individuals tend to manipulate information to protect their interests, making it crucial for journalists to independently investigate rather than wait for official revelations. Effective reporting requires a proactive approach in uncovering hidden truths, rather than relying on official statements, which often involve spin or deceit.
Powerful people, including President Donald Trump, do not freely hand out information that will make them look bad. Expect deception or manipulation in political communication.
The selected influencers left with binders of information but found that much had already been disclosed to the public, indicating the recycled nature of their sources.
Professional commentators should be embarrassed about waiting for authorities to provide them with news. Investigative reporting requires proactive efforts, not mere inquiries.
When interacting with government officials or politicians, assume their statements are either misleading, overly polished, or coincidentally truthful—expect no benevolence.
