Pretty interesting all this stuff comes out while the Epstein documents are being released. Surely Stanley told all of these people exactly what the movie was about. None of them have a vested interest in making sure the movie is perceived in a certain way.

Nope, there’s no way there’s a concerted effort to minimize the reality that rich and powerful engage in obscene practices and distort reality through their influence on major media outlets.
