    Yes. For example, I read in The Guardian (see #6) that Richard Branson was mentioned, but they only really talked about one line of one email and how he did not have anything to do with Epstein’s real activity or knowledge of it, etc.

    Then I saw the full content of the email where Richard Branson was offering Epstein direct advice on how to rehabilitate his public image after finishing his sentence:

    Dear Jeffrey, It was really nice seeing you yesterday. The boys in Watersports can’t stop speaking about it! Any time you’re in the area would love to see you. As long as you bring your harem!

    1. I think if Bill Gates was willing to say that you’ve been a brilliant advisor to him, that you slipped up many years ago by sleeping with a 17 1/2 year old woman and were punished for it, that you’ve more than learnt your lesson and have done nothing that’s against the law since and, yes, as a single man you seem to have a penchant for women. But there’s nothing wrong with that. Anyway something along those lines.

    It’s such a disparity between the reporting and the reality I don’t think it can legitimately be called reporting.

    EDITED to add links and correct myself
