Questioning the circumstances about Jeffery Epstein’s “suicide”, is extreme “conspiratorial thinking”? You can’t find it suspicious that an individual on suicide watch, completes suicide? Upfirst did not do a lot of reporting on Epstein, so what other conclusions is their audience suppose to come too? It’s also a drastic leap to hear that line, connect it to Epstein and then say “it’s a conspiracy about his death”. The song talks about Rich men, where there a lot of poor people going to Epstein’s Island?
If you really cared about “cultural artifacts” broadening the reach of “extremist spheres” onto unsuspecting audiences you would have spoken out against all of the profanity, violence and sexual content in other songs and movies that is much more available, accessible and main stream.
NPR, just be honest. You hate Republicans and you’ve only singled out this song because they played it at the GOP Debate.
