That's a weak content and a highly misleading title.

Putin alone was named over 1,000 times in the Epstein files. They also inlduce multiple references to Iran, ranging from claims of a meeting with a former Iranian president to allegations of arms trading, financial networks, and property links connected to Tehran. Britian's Prince Andrew spent ‘a great deal of time’ with Xi Jinping (here is the original link).

These and other reports are more detailed and concerning than this imo.

I'm actually really happy that a journalist reported that they checked and didn't find anything intetesting.

Ya. I hate the headlines that say “mentioned” since there are hundreds of uninteresting people “mentioned” because they were brought up in a mundane email about unrelated stuff. Podcasters have been “mentioned” because someone listened to their podcast.

This dilutes the impact of hearing a name that truly is implicated. It almost feels on purpose that they want to numb us to these headlines.

Yeah, but OP's only interest is a 'Canada bad' post. A misleading but bold headline is perfect for their propaganda despite the content being a nothing burger.
