#26: Epstein Fallout: Andrew under arrest, the monarchy and the battle for the truth.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Stop The Press!, Nick Copson, Bill Martin and Rob Chadwick dig into the latest developments surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case and the continuing ripple effects across the media and the monarchy.
With fresh documents and renewed online speculation driving headlines (oh and the small matter of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's arrest), the trio examine how news organisations are navigating one of the most legally and scandelous stories of years. They explore the fine line between legitimate public interest and unverified claims, and why responsible reporting matters more than ever in the age of viral narratives.
The discussion also looks at what the ongoing Epstein fallout means for public trust in institutions - including the Royal Family - and how different parts of the media ecosystem are choosing to cover the story.
