Newly unsealed court papers have put emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s circle back in the headlines, and the most explosive thread involves messages a victim, Sarah Ransome, sent in 2016 to journalist Maureen Callahan that name Donald Trump. The documents allege encounters at Epstein’s New York home and even reference purported recordings, a nasty patchwork of rumor and innuendo that the leftwing press has gleefully amplified. These exhibits circulated by House Democrats are being presented as fresh proof in a media feeding frenzy, but readers should remember these are unproven allegations in a legal paper trail full of hearsay.
Reporters quickly trumpeted the worst possible interpretations, even though Ransome later publicly retracted many of her claims — a fact that should make any honest outlet pause before turning innuendo into front-page certainties. Trump’s team has denied these allegations, and several outlets that rushed to judgment now look like they served as megaphones for political operatives rather than sober institutions of record. The public deserves the whole context and the original source material, not cherry-picked lines that fit a narrative.
On her show Megyn Kelly did what real journalists should do: point out the obvious media malpractice and refuse to participate in a partisan pile-on, and that hard line echoed when Maureen Callahan herself pushed back against outlets that reduced complicated documents to tabloid headlines. Kelly openly admitted the emails “sound bad” on their face but also blasted Democrats and the press for weaponizing these files for political gain rather than seeking truth. When two journalists who actually handled these materials tell the media to “go fuck themselves,” conservatives should listen — not because the allegations can be dismissed automatically, but because the process here stinks of selective outrage.
What Americans should find most galling is the double standard: the same documents that name other high-profile figures have been parsed far less aggressively by the press when the alleged names lean blue. Reports indicate the unsealed exhibits mention figures like Bill Clinton and others, yet the narrative was flattened into a single-minded Trump obsession in many outlets. This selective spotlighting looks less like journalism and more like political theater designed to damage one man’s public standing ahead of an election cycle. The people running our media are supposed to be arbiters of truth, not political hit men.
Let’s be blunt: allegations in litigation exhibits and retracted recantations are not convictions, and the right should not cowardly cede the principle of due process while the left weaponizes every paper file it can find. We should demand a full, transparent release of all relevant records and a sober, courtroom-style accounting rather than late-night talkers and cable anchors deciding guilt by outrage. If the press really cared about justice, it would demand the unredacted files across the board instead of selectively amplifying what hurts their political enemies.
Meanwhile the cultural elites and late-night clowns seized the moment to perform their sanctimony, turning messy, unvetted documents into daily moral verdicts on the man they despise. Entertainment Weekly and others were already spinning the emails into punchlines and indictments, proving again that large parts of the media industrial complex are appendages of a partisan class war, not independent watchdogs. Conservatives should reject that performative fury and insist on real reporting, not a Twitter-fed trial-by-media meant to topple a politician.
Hardworking Americans know the difference between legitimate inquiry and weaponized leaks. We should want the truth about Epstein’s monstrous crimes exposed fully and fairly, and we should also demand integrity from the institutions covering it. Call out the hypocrisy, defend due process, and refuse to let the left’s media machine turn every grain of paper into a political grenade — because if we don’t stand for fair treatment now, truth will be the first casualty in the next smear campaign.
