As we all know the Epstein Files are being released right now.

Certain user has started multiple threads about Michael Jackson and the Esptein File (Because MJ is in the file), focusing on minor issues from the File release mixed with really strong personal opinion and selective news sources.

Meanwhile ATRL admins merged other Epstein file related threads into the one above, which peronalize the matter to one user's opinion and diminish all other celebrities involvement from the discussion.

Do you think ATRL's handling of Epstein File discussion is appropriate or biased?

This is atrl, what do you expect

The MJ thing gained a lot of attention specifically because one of Trump's staff members shared that edited photograph of Diana and MJ and tried to implicate MJ as a distraction. I think it deserves its own thread given the blow back. Anyway, I guess the distraction worked since everyone is talking about it

The actually damning parts of the files have been redacted and this administration tried to use a POP STAR as a smokescreen to cover that up with a michael jackson media circus. This is a POP MUSIC FORUM. Let's use our brains, of course that aspect merits a separate thread, it has more relevance to our community. This isn't reddit. We have space for all kinds of discussions but the focus will ALWAYS be on pop music and music culture.

ATRL would never

biased how?

They are on record for saying they would scrub all Republicans and conservatives from the file and leave only democrats and the like. people can see through what they are trying to do

No they're not based

This is exactly what the Trump Administration wants.

We had dozens of prior photos of Trump and Epstein going back almost 40 years, but now all we see is Epstein with MJ, Bill Clinton, Diana Ross, Bill Gates, and conveniently no new photos with Trump? This is a stunt and a distraction.

Biased for marking duplicate and hence merging all other discussion posts involving Trump, Clinton, Kevin Spacey, Diana Ross into a single post focusing only on MJ and TMZ?

And the post title and content were not amended after the merge?

So how are we suppose to have a fair and general discussion about the biggest news yesterday without falling into the selective news reports and discussion topic crafted by a single user?

@ATRL Administration @Rian

by this point, the defend is getting their fav drag more than press outline effort combined. bias or not, you should sit there and eat your food.
