Guilt By Association

"Deutsche Bank wins approval for $75m settlement with Jeffrey Epstein's victims. Deutsche Bank on Friday won final approval from a US judge for a $75m settlement it reached with victims of Jeffrey Epstein who had accused the German company of facilitating the late financier's sex trafficking."

"In third batch of Epstein documents, a call from Harvey Weinstein, more famous men and disquieting details"

"The bank reached both settlements after months of embarrassing disclosures about how top JPMorgan executives kept Mr. Epstein as a client despite numerous warning signs."

"When CBS aired Super Bowl XXXVIII in 2004, MTV was again chosen to produce the halftime show, with performances by such artists as Nelly, P. Diddy, Janet Jackson, and Justin Timberlake. The show became controversial, however, after Timberlake tore off part of Jackson's outfit while performing "Rock Your Body" with her, revealing her right breast. 

All involved parties apologized for the incident, and Timberlake referred to the incident as a "wardrobe malfunction". 

Michael Powell, then-chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, ordered an investigation the day after broadcast.

In the weeks following the halftime show, MTV censored much of its programming. Several music videos, including "This Love" and "I Miss You", were edited for sexual content. In September 2004, the FCC ruled that the halftime show was indecent and fined CBS $550,000. The FCC upheld it in 2006, but federal judges reversed the fine in 2008."

"Timberlake and Jackson's controversial event gave way to a "wave of self-censorship on American television unrivaled since the McCarthy era".

After the sudden event, names surfaced such as nipplegate, Janet moment, and boobgate, and this spread politically, furthering the discussion into the 2004 presidential election surrounding "moral values" and "media decency."

In 2005, the Parents Television Council (PTC) released a study titled "MTV Smut Peddlers", which sought to expose excessive sexual, profane, and violent content on the channel, based on MTV's spring break programming from 2004. Jeanette Kedas, an MTV network executive, called the PTC report "unfair and inaccurate" and "underestimating young people's intellect and level of sophistication", while L. Brent Bozell III, then-president of the PTC, stated: "the incessant sleaze on MTV presents the most compelling case yet for consumer cable choice", referring to the practice of pay television companies to allow consumers to pay for channels à la carte.

In April 2008, PTC released The Rap on Rap, a study covering hip-hop and R&B music videos rotated on programs 106 & Park and Rap City, both shown on BET, and Sucker Free on MTV. PTC urged advertisers to withdraw sponsorship of those programs, whose videos PTC stated targeted children and teenagers containing adult content."
