riofleur :

The systemic and ongoing trafficking of children is a “playboy tendency”??

Nolyn and Banjo :

Why? Really?! Because this guy had some of the most high profile people on his plane and client list and now the current administration is trying to bury the story.

stella :

brooks is maga. he wants a white house job.

RazzleDazzlePie :

Who's the old man? Why is PBS giving him a platform? He said it himself he doesn't care if Trump participated in activities like Epstein.

Moc Spark :

Hey, I didn’t know you guys were on here! I love PBS!

justine :

the more they try to dismiss this and make it seem like it’s nbd the more guilty they all look

ec8082 :

Wow! Brooks sounds like Trump

drkruegs :

I can’t believe they’re chalking it up to a conspiracy theory

Amber :

I'm really tired of wealthy, powerful, famous men telling me I shouldn't care about the files.

southlamandy :

What are the odds that a paper owned by Rupert Murdoch will settle so it doesn’t go that far, but Trump can say look what they did, they lied and gave me money because of it!

[invisible name] :

we shouldn’t care that the president of the united states (and many other political figures on BOTH sides) are touching on/have touched on children?????

UselessStooge :

the conservatives could get money for nonprofits from the government, too, is the biggest irony i see here. they just don't care about good works, I guess. if there's nothing in it for them personally, they see it as a waste.

Megophrys Nasuta :

David Brooks makes so much money to miss the point for a living

Climatechangeisreal :

HE WONT RELEASE THE LIST BECAUSE HE IS ON THE LIST

drewp80 :

Wel this is probably the last news network besides CNN to take seriously after knowing it’s funded by leftist

SteveJF1 :

I agree with Brooks. nothing will come of epstein files. he died alone in his cell.

Rara :

David Brooks is a joke

William Hart532 :

Typical of mass media to just ignore that Epstein was arrested twice.

“Two rich guys with a little playboy tendencies”?!?!?!? Noping out after that bit.

JusZen :

The old guy wants to brush the pedo stuff under the carpet. Go figure. Any body that brushes this stuff away is clearly a part of it.

carpeking :

I believe that this is the perfect example of how modern media is very biased towards the interests of the people who own them. We are presented with ideas, as though they are factual, so we initially dont question whats being said, but, those of who are actually listening, hear the dissonance of truth and fact being manipulated to influence us. It has become more and more obvious as we research and consult our own ethics and morals. These guys are just talking heads, educated ones, that are making decent points, but the fact that they are getting paid to be there warps the real meaning behind their words. More to the point. Who would suggest not knowing or looking past the fact that our president might be a pedophile? I want to know why they wouldn't simply apply more pressure to have the files be released faster? This is obfuscation at it finest. Cold, calculated, deliberate. Beware America, no matter you stance or you party, from having you opinions so manipulated. Always question, always insist on facts and proof.
