The Spin
Establishment-critical narrative
This is long-overdue professional accountability for Attia's documented association with Epstein. This isn't about cancel culture — it's about holding powerful figures responsible for problematic behaviors and associations with one of history's most notorious criminals. The fact that he only resigned after public pressure and media scrutiny shows exactly why accountability matters in journalism.
Pro-establishment narrative
The mob mentality destroying Attia's career over guilt by association represents everything wrong with modern public discourse. He has genuinely improved countless lives through his work, yet people pile on to tear down someone actually doing meaningful work. Character assassination based on appearing in documents — without context or proven wrongdoing — reveals more about the insecure masses than about Attia.
