Epstein, a convicted sex trafficker who took his own life in 2019, has been linked to some of the world's most powerful men. Names included in the court documents aren't evidence of wrongdoing.
The unsealed documents in the Epstein case have been released.
Allegedly is just a way to avoid getting sued. They know what they’re doing. Sure, if they’re on the list, that could be argued it’s not alleged that they’re tied together in some form, but at least this will keep anyone from attempted to sue them over it. And all they had to do was wiggle their fingers a few more times to add that extra word.
I know why media (say they) use “alleged” all the time, but this doesn’t apply.
It’s by definition a link. Whether it’s a significant link is another matter, but no court would be so ridiculous as to accept a lawsuit based on a misunderstanding of what the word “linked” means.

The list itself is a link. Whether it’s a link that means anything is yet to be revealed, but it’s beyond a shadow of a doubt and in every legal sense a link.

No it won’t. There was already precisely zero risk of it.
The only thing they’re achieving by adding “alleged” to this headline is to annoy people who know what words and concepts are and then spur a lot of people to tell those already annoyed people things the annoyed people already know and have been reminded of every time they’ve pointed out misuse of “alleged”.
Donald Trump. That’s all you need to know. And no, I’m not being sarcastic. Fuck that guy, and any waterhead inbreed and wanna-be tough guy who worships him.
Sure. If you feel they have some vendetta against their readers and wanted to annoy you, feel free to make that claim. Sure sounds like you’re a very stable person assuming that title was purposefully written to annoy people because [reasons].

Incompetence and ignorance don’t have to be deliberate to be annoying. Especially when they happen often. I happen to expect better of those who are paid to inform people of breaking news. Being annoyed ≠ thinking it’s about me or otherwise deliberate.

Again, never said that. You sure sound like a very sincere person, waving around the strawman you constructed to dismiss my rational argument as paranoid ramblings.

Nah, other monsters don’t get off the hook just because Trump is the worst amongst them. Fuck Trump most of all, but fuck the other abusers too.
You’re a lunatic looking for attention. You’re not getting any more from me. Take your meds.
Wtf are you talking about? You’re the one pretending that Trump is the only powerful man on the list.
Also, if you could drop the ableism, that would be swell.
