In the world of journalism, it is not uncommon for media outlets to publish sensationalized stories in order to grab attention and generate clicks. However, when a reputable publication like the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) publishes a hit piece on a public figure, it is important to take a step back and examine the facts. This is exactly what Alex Marlow, host and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief, did on Friday’s episode of the “Alex Marlow Show” when discussing the recent WSJ article on President Trump’s alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
The article in question, titled “Trump and Epstein Partied and Commented on Women in 1992 Video,” attempts to paint a picture of a close relationship between President Trump and the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. However, upon closer examination, it becomes clear that the article is nothing more than a desperate attempt to smear the President’s reputation.
First and foremost, the article relies heavily on a 1992 video of Trump and Epstein at a party in Palm Beach. The video, which was obtained by NBC News, shows the two men conversing and laughing together. However, as Marlow points out, there is no evidence to suggest that the two were close friends or that Trump was aware of Epstein’s heinous actions. In fact, Trump himself has publicly stated that he was not a fan of Epstein and banned him from his Mar-a-Lago club after he was accused of sexually assaulting a young girl on the premises.
Furthermore, the WSJ article fails to mention the fact that President Trump cooperated with authorities during the investigation into Epstein’s crimes. In 2009, Trump provided information to the FBI and testified in a civil case against Epstein, stating that he was “not a fan” of the financier and that he had “not spoken to him in 15 years.” This crucial piece of information is conveniently left out of the article, giving readers a false impression of Trump’s involvement with Epstein.
But perhaps the most absurd aspect of the WSJ hit piece is the attempt to link Trump’s comments in the 1992 video to his presidency. The article claims that Trump’s comments about women in the video are “similar to those he would make as president.” This is a blatant attempt to discredit the President and has no basis in reality. Trump’s comments in the video were made in a social setting over 25 years ago and have no relevance to his actions as President.
It is clear that the WSJ article is nothing more than a desperate attempt to tarnish President Trump’s reputation. The fact that the publication would stoop to such levels in order to generate clicks and fuel their anti-Trump agenda is truly disheartening. As Marlow eloquently puts it, “the WSJ is trying to create a scandal where there is none.”
In conclusion, the WSJ’s hit piece on President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein is a prime example of the utter absurdity that has become commonplace in today’s media landscape. It is important for readers to critically examine the information presented to them and not fall victim to sensationalized stories. As for the WSJ, it is clear that their biased and misleading reporting has no place in responsible journalism.
