CBS Attempt to Fire ABC’s Whistleblower Goes Terribly Wrong
DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon

Posted on 11/09/2019 6:27:25 AM PST by EyesOfTX

What can you even say about these corrupt media organizations at this point? – Or perhaps we should quote Hillary Clinton and ask, “At this point, what difference does it make?”

Well, if you are a former producer for ABC, and as of Thursday, CBS as well named Ashley Bianco, it makes a lot of difference. Ms. Bianco finds herself out looking for a new job today because executives at both fake TV news operations conspired to summarily fire her based on the false accusation that she was the whistleblower who leaked a video of ABC reporter Amy Robach to Project Veritas.

Ms. Robach, who serves as one of the hosts for the ABC fake news program 20/20, was caught on a live mic this summer describing how executives at the network had killed her carefully-sourced and researched story chronicling the exploits of now-dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, complete with his connections to Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew, among others. That all took place three years ago, back when the Pantsuit Princess just happened to be the Democrat presidential nominee.

Quite the coincidence there.

The release of that video by Project Veritas led to a witch hunt by executives at both ABC and CBS to find their internal whistleblower and ruin his or her life. Ironically, these same executives at these same two fake news networks have instructed their fake news people to pretend to not know the name of Eric Ciaramella, the fake whistleblower in the Democrats’ fake impeachment scam. Hashtag, hypocrisy.

On Thursday, CBS’s executives fired poor Ms. Bianco based on what they claimed was digital evidence of her having bookmarked the video of Ms. Robach for later viewing. Pretty thin gruel there, but hey, this is the fake news media, where pesky things like truth, evidence and proof are just silly concepts that only folks out in Flyover Country talk about anymore.

On Friday, two major events happened almost simultaneously that put the lie to the contention by CBS and ABC that Ms. Bianco is the hero who leaked the tape:

First, Megyn Kelly released a video of an interview she had conducted with Ms. Bianco on her YouTube Channel. Here’s the clip:

Second, project Veritas released the text of an open letter the actual whistleblower wrote to the public and his fellow employees at ABC, where he remains still employed. Here is the key passage from that letter:

To my fellow man:

I came forward with this information bearing no motives other than to have this information public. I did not and do not seek any personal gain from this information whether it be financial or otherwise and will always decline. When I became aware of this moment, I had the same reaction as many of you did. Anger, confusion and sadness. I care not about petty political quarrels and only hope for the best in all of us.

To my fellow ABC News employees:

I’ve walked the halls experiencing similar feelings we are all having right now. All of you regardless of your own personal differences in one form or another do an outstanding job. I sincerely enjoy working with each and every one of you and will continue to do so throughout our careers.

To those wrongfully accused:

It is terrible that you have been lashed out at by the company. I know some may put the burden of guilt on me, but my conscience is clear. The actions of the company towards you are the result of their own and not anyone else. The public outcry, from coast to coast, of all people, creeds, and political affiliations, is clear. I have not one doubt that there will always be support for you, and you will have prosperous careers. For neither you, nor I, have done anything wrong.

So, the management thugs who hold power at ABC and CBS put an innocent employee out on the streets all as a result of their ongoing zeal to protect a convicted pedophile and his longtime associates and alleged customers.

Folks, it doesn’t get much lower than that.

That is all.

I think that sums it up just about right. Only word missing is maliciously. They “maliciously”...put an innocent employee....

These media whores are nothing more than mouthpieces for their corporate empire bosses who are beholding to the dem party and their psycho cohorts whom they seek to protect at all costs.

Have you noticed that most of the honorable people who have stepped up are men?

Are women less courageous, more devious, more corrupt...?

The corporate zeitgeist is at low ebb.

This entire episode is not ending well for the big news networks. They can’t shake this off.

Go google “best employment law attorneys in the US” and you’ll be likely to find who will be representing Ms. Bianco, who should be a millionaire when this is over.

Maybe, maybe not. There have been several times when I thought the demonicRAT/Fake News Complex was sunk, but like a creepy horror movie psychopath, they keep popping up out of the water.

Why doesn’t FoxNews snap her right up?? She has built-in connections to O’Keefe and Veritas, she can head a production unit specifically to pipeline those video stories to whoever: Chatsworth get first pick, the rest go to Hannity and Ingraham.

The only problem with your statement is that you have things backward. As does most of the public.

The DEM party is a branch of the MSM.

Nah, it wasn’t sexual. The guy that fired the Producer is probably Gay.

Were Ms. Robach’s supervisors men or women?

Thanks for the posting. What I found interesting in her interview was that her ‘hot mike’ comments were broadcast to their affiliates, who probably have recording equipment.

So, while she certainly sounds like she desperately wants to get back to her job of enabling fake news, she may not need to work much, unless the networks have more evidence than what we know now.

“The DEM party is a branch of the MSM.”

Rush has pretty much said the same - the Dems are pretty much taking their direction from the media now.
