The BBC should SO dedicate its airtime to the Epstein scandal...

No, it shouldn’t. The BBC stands for a higher standard. It shouldnt debase itself and bring itself down to the level of highly partisan US news. Well, it couldn’t anyway as british broadcast news regulation still exists.

The Epstein scandals is very much a British problem too, in case you haven't noticed. It would be well within the BBC's mission to cover it.

Which wasn’t your suggestion. You advocated focusing disproportionately on Epstein as retaliation.

There is no higher standard anymore. See philosophies of tolerance.

I don't understand the fascination with the US oligarchy's involvement with Epstein.

Many details were public knowledge already, it doesn't seem that the US public cares.

Almost seems like a desperate coping measure.
