The producer who got "The Scoop" repeatedly is asked, and asks herself the question "Does it matter?" I kept asking myself the same question. Does it matter that BBC got an interview with Prince Andrew. Does it matter that he stepped down from his royal duties? I'm not sure it does.
Andrew was one of dozens, perhaps even hundreds of men who were entertained by Jeffery Epstein and Ms. Maxwell yet after all this time, we don't know how Epstein made his billions (perhaps from The Limited or Victoria's Secret, we don't really know). We don't know why the "ruling class," of whom Prince Andrew was a minor member, befriended him, or what he got from them, or they got from him. It's all clouded in mystery, and few in the news media care to know.
All we know is that they "got" Prince Andrew and earned a boatload of awards in journalism in the process. The deeper story, the story that really mattered, is still out there, and no one seems to be looking for it.
