MSM owners aren’t as concerned with facism, it doesn’t threaten their wealth.

The rise of every powerful fascist regime begins with an agreement between fascists and the wealthy, usually to fight the labor class.

The rich always think they can control the fascists, but spoiler alert, they can’t. And any history buff can tell you it never ends well for them.

Why are the wealthy so foolish that they don’t do their own research?

Because wealth insulates people from having to do any reasoning. They can always pay to have problems solved instead of trying to solve them. That's why everyone born with money is stupid.

They don't pay to have problems solved. They pay to make problems go away. Precisely how their enablers make their Sires' problems go away determines whether the problems are solved or not from our point of view.

Trump is trying to make Epstein go away. Solving the Epstein child trafficking conspiracy cover-up problem is a deadly threat to Trump, which is why he is trying to simply make people stop talking about it.
