Steve Bannon is all over the Epstein files. He'd probably say anything outlandish to deflect attention away from that. > https://www.jmail.world/messages/stev

  It's not deflection. They're just doing multiple evil things at the same time.

    "Flood the zone"
    • crumpled 9mo ago
      What's happening on the media landscape is an enormous problem, highly manipulated and coordinated on the right-wing side. Flooding the zone is happening, among other things that weaken trust in journalism, weaken/defund/discourage investigative reporting, burying the lede information etc. However, using the goon squad to illegally intimidate and disenfranchise voters is a problem large enough that calling it a would-be distraction from the Epstein files is doing everyone a disservice. We have to pay attention to more than one thing. Saying <blank> is just a distraction from <blank-2>, means that you're too distracted by <blank-2> and need to step back and look around at all the other horrors.
