The release of an enormous cache of files about the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein might have been expected to quell conspiracy theories

Why would confirming conspiracies make people think about conspiracies less?

[-] Transform2942@lemmy.ml 12 points 3 months ago

These disclosures are being taken to be evidence that something even larger remains concealed

I wonder how people came to that conclusion, truly shocking

Information remains redacted because it is actually so mundane that the authorities were afraid it would bore us. Nothing larger remains concealed.

Of course! A scheme so diabolical we would never think of it

One debunked claim, concocted using emails and receipts, suggested that Mr. Epstein was alive and playing video games in Israel. (He died by what the authorities said was suicide in 2019.)

The phrasing of this is great because saying "by what the authorities said was suicide" the NYT is itself pushing the conspiracy that he was murdered.

A series of social media posts that emanated from China

Social media posts do not "emanate". They either come from somewhere or do not.

Shit certainly emanates from the NYT's asshole
