Like you say, when the perception of monetary value is attached to anyone, regardless of what they may or may not have done, that can override the issue of their possible crimes and misdemeanors. Funny world out there.
On a tangent...

I am the LAST person to believe in a conspiracy theory.

There is enough evidence out there that he did not commit the murders which I believe.

All of our information comes from the MSM. The vast majority which is inaccurate.

If you do have any link from credible sources, including these flights logs, I would be interested in seeing them.
I have seen flight logs but the names are all initials and code names except for Clinton and Allan Dershowitz. You can easily find them if you know how to use the internet. But I definitely recommend everyone be skeptical of everything and not believe any official reporting especially if it's coming from the mainstream media or governments unless you can verify things with your own eyes or experience. I've worked in Hollywood for over 20 years. I heard all about Harvey Weinstein for at least 15 years before that all came out and it all turned out to be true apparently. I've heard rumors from people I know in the industry about a lot of other Hollywood celebrities including all of the obvious people that you hear about connected to Epstein being pedos and a lot of others who's names haven't really be connected but if you heard them you'd probably say it makes sense. Everyone can believe whatever they want but don't be shocked if you find one day that a lot of the actors, directors, producers in Hollywood that make the content you love are pedos, perverts and sex criminals.

Tons of scum bags in Hollywood, I believe that. Just like there’s scum bags in baseball and everywhere else in the world. It’s very unfortunate that the world’s young people are active targets by the monsters of the world.

But when conservatives/Q Aon people just start throwing out specific names of liberals they don’t like… that’s when I need to see some actual proof.

Please let me know when/if you have links from credible sources. I recommend people avoid going down internet dark alleys and shady websites and try to stick to the facts as they are currently known.

(Obviously this is an open forum and I defend your freedom of speech, but just don’t expect rational people to believe you just because you type it.)

Anyone that uses "mainstream media" in conversation has no credibility whatsoever.

I agree. I don't think anyone here has any first hand verifiable proof that Wander did anything he's accused of but it seems like the majority of the people here believe it because someoene else told them it's true.

It's a legitimate phrase -- it refers to big corporate media. It's used to contrast with independent and citizen journalism, like blogs and nonprofit media.

If Wander gets convicted, this thing is going to blow up. The authorities have the girl's mom -- she'll rat on Wander and give up everything she has on him to reduce her sentence.

It refers to media that is funded by and subservient to advertisers and who therefore all report the same stories usually word for word based on press releases. It's a form of entertainment like sports and movies not to be confused with actual journalism which is supposed to be unbiased and provided by people who are actually on the ground gathering information and reporting it

What do you call legacy news organizations like the NYT, WaPo, ABC, NBC, CBS etc? They do original and investigative reporting, as well as publish content from wire services and press releases.

Any news publisher can be beholden to advertisers.

The great thing about social media and the internet is anyone can be a media publisher -- no more relying on traditional media outlets for news and information.

Just saw a media interview where the uncle of the minor says there is supposedly another major league player involved in this case!
