Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
Prince Andrew named in Epstein files. surprised pikachu.
Police reject calls to investigate. Surprised Pikachu!
Buckingham Palace declines to comment . SURPRISED PIKACHU!!!11!1!
Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the documents as Andrew is no longer a working royal.
I would posit that all of them are pretty broken.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Metropolitan police has rejected calls to launch an investigation into Prince Andrew, after the release of court documents relating to the late child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The documents, unsealed in two batches by judge Loretta Preska, identify numerous Epstein associates, including Andrew, mentioned in proceedings of a case Giuffre filed against Ghislaine Maxwell in 2015.
The campaign group Republic, which reported Prince Andrew to the police on Thursday after the release of the documents, said it was dismayed by the Met’s decision.
In one newly unsealed witness statement, Johanna Sjoberg claimed Andrew groped her at Epstein’s house in New York in 2001 when she was aged 20, with Maxwell and Giuffre also present.
The duke stepped down from public life after the furore over his friendship with Epstein, and settled the sexual assault case filed against him by Giuffre for an undisclosed sum.
In a previous statement about links to Epstein, the palace said Andrew “deplores the exploitation of any human being and the suggestion he would condone, participate in or encourage any such behaviour is abhorrent”.

Don't investigate just send him straight to prison
Met are complicit. The highest politicians, the rich, the powerful, are pedos and they're protecting each other.
