I avoid all the main feeds including those I follow at the moment.
I don't actually check the news at all away from BlueSky.
I used to when I really was one of the Ultimate Twatter Keyboard Warriors trying to fight treasonous Tories.
I can't anymore.
Instead, I have post notifications on for experts

Yes it looks like the BBC is stuffed with the absolute worst of the Old Boy Network, though I heard off a very reliable source that happily lots of their contracts including the Director General are due to finish next year.
Brace for BBC news to become more corroded & corrupt as the gravy train ends

Remember, there wasn’t one “little black book” of contacts.

There were several.

And they weren’t “little”

The one seen by a Mother Jones’ journalist contained a large chunk of contacts that were primarily Ghislaine Maxwell’s

That Alexander Acosta deal is just so weird. In March 2005, the Palm Beach Police began a 13m undercover investigation of Epstein, inc a search of his home, based on reports that he was involved with sex trafficking of minors. The FBI investigation resulted in a 53-page indictment in June 2007.
Epstein’s affection for young women was no secret.

As Donald Trump put it in New York Magazine in 2002, “It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
