We demand justice.   We demand action. We demand accountability. The system didn’t just fail Epstein survivors—it was a system of abuse in Palm Beach and in New Mexico and elsewhere—as two chapters of the same story. That’s why we’re here to hear from survivors and to demand justice now.

No, it's not too much to ask at all. In fact, waaaaaaay back when I was in Journalism school, they taught us that we were to be public arbiters of fact. Not give our opinions, but tell people what's true and what isn't. Seems that's not a thing any longer.
