4chan is basically a million monkeys on typewriters, so it's unsurprising they've managed to predict the death of Epstein. Let's not forget that every man and his dog on reddit and elsewhere immediately predicted this guy would get suicided. It was as predictable as the tide going in and out.
- matt-attack 7y agoWhy is is hard to believe that any of the probably 20 or 30 people involved in managing his death went it 4chan to post about it? There were many people who knew of his death beforehand from jail personnel, prison guards, EMT, hospital nurses, Doctors, other hospital staff. Why wouldn’t one of them have just broken the news? Frankly I don’t see how it’s worse for them to break the news to 4chan than for the prison to break it to ABC news. He was dead and they announced it. Why does everything have to be “official”?
- catacombs 7y ago> Why does everything have to be “official”? Because institutions, like the Bureau of Prison, Fortune 500 companies or your county school district, are responsible for how information is distilled to the public. That is why almost all are concerned about their image and invest heavily into public relations. If people leaked information all the time from those institutions, then a certain level trust will be lost and could be detrimental.
- Amezarak 7y agoBecause mainstream corporate media has trained us to believe “journalism” consists of a media conglomerate regurgitating official press releases, access journalism, and every now and then some intrepid reporter backed by a multimillion dollar company discovering some scoop. The idea that regular folks can disseminate true information on their own is very disturbing to a lot of people.
