      I mean, I get that newspapers generate attention through big scoops, but I have to point out again that this is a Rupert Murdoch paper. His media has backed Trump hard for nearly a decade.

        Murdoch has turned against Trump occasionally when it suits him. Idk why now though. Maybe they soured on him because of something else like the tariffs and this was the time to strike. Maybe they’re trying to realign with Musk? Its certainly not directly over Trump’s connection to Epstein. The simple clickbait motive should be the default IMO.

        I couldn’t reallt begin to speculate tbh. Could be exactly what you said, could just be something got past a middle manager cause clicks were below quota that month. I dunno
