"The framing I received about Jeffrey Epstein... came from Fox News. This, of course, is the same Fox News that has spent years shielding, celebrating, and amplifying President Donald Trump, a sexual abuser and a man whose name appears throughout the Epstein files."
"I am a survivor incarcerated in Texas, where the television you have access to in state prisons is not determined by your curiosity, your education, or your hunger to understand the world; it is determined by your security classification."
"What we are fed is not information. It is a careful manipulation of narratives that serve the interests of those in power, particularly in the context of the Epstein case."
In Texas prisons, inmates are restricted to specific television channels based on their security classification. This often results in access solely to Fox News, which influences their perception of significant events, such as the Epstein case. The network has a history of supporting controversial figures and has been linked to sexual harassment scandals. The framing of news provided by Fox News is not merely informative but serves a specific narrative that affects how incarcerated individuals understand the world around them.
