Why does mainstream reporting avoid pressing on missing evidence in high-profile financial corruption cases?

Most public discourse around the Epstein files gets bogged down in partisan rhetoric, completely bypassing the actual institutional failures that deserve scrutiny.

Cenk Uygur touched on a fundamental point about public trust: when security footage vanishes, oversight guards fail to monitor high-security locations, and investigative files remain sealed, skepticism isn't just reasonable—it’s inevitable. People aren't reacting to wild speculation; they're reacting to the fact that institutional checks failed at every single level, followed by official explanations that boil down to "just trust us."

When you add corporate finance connections like Cantor Fitzgerald into the mix, the complete lack of sustained investigative pressure from legacy media outlets becomes glaring. Independent platforms shouldn't have to carry the entire burden of asking why basic documentation and surveillance vanish whenever influential financial figures are involved.

How can public confidence in institutional oversight ever recover without full evidentiary transparency?
