Here are some things to understand and remember about the video released on Tuesday by James O’Keefe and Project Veritas in the context of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal:
First, for those who haven’t seen it yet, let’s review the video – here’s the clip:
So, there we have the co-anchor of ABC’s 20/20 program – which I honestly thought had been cancelled about 15 years ago – Amy Robach, admitting live and on camera that she had the whole Jeffrey Epstein story, complete with information about his associations with such luminaries as Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton and Alan Dershowitz, three solid years ago. But the story was quashed by higher-ups at ABC News and never made it to air. What a surprise, huh?
Ok, what was happening three years ago, during 2016? More to the point, who was running for the office of the presidency on the Democrat Party ticket three years ago? That’s right: The Pantsuit Princess, the nominal wife of Bill Clinton.
Is there anyone out there today who is naive enough to believe that ABC News did not kill the Epstein story as a favor to the Coughing Crook’s campaign? If so, you are hopeless.
But what about Robach’s statement yesterday? Well, she said what she had to say to keep her high-paying job at ABC – no mystery there at all. For grins, here’s what she said:
“As the Epstein story continued to unfold last summer, I was caught in a private moment of frustration. I was upset that an important interview I had conducted with Virginia Roberts [Giuffre] didn’t air because we could not obtain sufficient corroborating evidence to meet ABC’s editorial standards about her allegations.”
No doubt, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh laughed his ass off at that part about “ABC’s editorial standards.” ABC certainly had no problem at all throwing any and all “standards” of journalism out the window when it gladly aired multiple abjectly false accusations at him that were unsupported by any “corroborating evidence” whatsoever during his confirmation hearings a year ago.
Nor has ABC had the slightest compunction about airing all manner of completely uncorroborated accusations leveled by a parade of attention-seekers at President Donald Trump over the past four years. Nor did ABC News rely on any standards whatsoever when it participated in the libelous media feeding frenzy related to a bunch of teenagers from Covington Catholic high school.
In today’s news media – not just ABC, but all of our national news media – referring to “editorial standards” is nothing more than the standard dodge used to justify not reporting any damaging information about Democrat politicians and depraved movie stars.
Remember, the Jeffrey Epstein story and Bill Clinton’s involvement with him has been circulating for 20 years now. Two solid decades, and we are to believe that the only person in our national corrupt news media who had the story on it just three years ago is Amy Robach?
Please. Every national news organization in this country has known about Jeffrey Epstein and his connection to Bill Clinton for not just years, but DECADES. Yet, until Epstein was taken into custody in early July, virtually none of them had allowed any reporting on the matter at all.
Then, when the federal government’s most high-profile prisoner dies under circumstances so absurdly suspicious that not even writers for CSI:Miami could have imagined them, our corrupt news media in unison forms a protective circle around the ridiculous narrative issued by the Bureau of Prisons and the interminably corrupt FBI. Not a smidgen of skepticism from not just ABC, but NBC, CBS, the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN or even from Fox News about an official narrative with so many holes in it that it could be sold in the supermarket as Swiss cheese.
This is a wall of intentional media ignorance. It is the same wall we see formed up today around the identity of Adam Schiff’s fake whistleblower. Eric Ciaramella’s name has now been out there for weeks, but we still have fake journalists throughout the corrupt news media pretending not to know who he is, including Fox’s Bret Baier, who conducted a five-minute panel discussion on the subject last night while pretending not to know how to pronounce “Ciaramella.”
On my weekly interview with host Greg Budell on Newstalk 93.1 FM in Montgomery, AL on Tuesday, I compared today’s corrupt U.S. media behavior to that of the German press during the years just before and during WWII.
America’s news media today operates on the exact same principles enforced then by Nazi leader Joseph Goebbels. The media has a daily narrative, drawn up in coordination with and supporting the goals of a national political party, and any reporting that conflicts with or would do harm to that narrative or party is quashed by higher-ups.
This is not just despicable behavior by these corrupt media organizations: It is in fact dangerous, a real and compelling threat to the survival of our nation in its current form. The freedom of the press was enshrined in the first amendment to our constitution because the founders of our Republic knew that the Fourth Estate played a vital role as the public’s watchdog, there to hold people in power accountable.
Because, when politicians hungry for power have no one there to hold them accountable, their behavior invariably becomes increasingly depraved and despotic. This is exactly the dynamic we have seen from the leaders of the Democrat Party since early 2016, when they had our FBI, DOJ and intelligence community actively attempting to fix a national election, and then lead a literal coup d’etat effort on U.S. soil.
That effort continues to this day in the form of the Schiff/Pelosi impeachment circus. These people are power-mad and will never stop because literally no one in our corrupt national news media makes any real effort to hold them accountable for their seditious actions.
Yesterday’s Project Veritas video is a landmark event, mainly because it only confirms yet again what we already knew: Our news media is hopelessly corrupt and a true danger to our society.
That is all.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!! Stop! You’re killing me!!!
Alan D a perv? Come on man, as Biden would say.
The feminists, who at their core are nihilistic, anti fertility cultists, will support and protect decadent, powerful, predatory men, as long as they use their power to protect abortion.
The Fourth Estate has eagerly become the enemy inside the wire ...
Hey, Barr was very angry about this. Don’t make him write a discouraging letter. He’s very busy right now steam rolling our President.
Does anyone really think ABC gives a damn about a few on line posts? This is the network that pays Clinton Pimp Georgie Stephanopolis $$$ Millions a year to lie everyday on live TV.
Just another day at the ABC office.
The FCC should set standards and pull licenses if warranted. The finances of major media should be scrutinized. What money comes in? From where? What money goes out? To whom?
The First Amendment means I can go to a public park, stand on a soap box and pretty much say anything I want. But to be a Major Media outlet, you ought to have some oversight to ensure honesty. The First Amendment was NOT created to allowing lying to the public.
“I was upset that an important interview I had conducted with Virginia Roberts [Giuffre] didn’t air because we could not obtain sufficient corroborating evidence to meet ABC’s editorial standards about her allegations.”
ABCDIsney’s high standards, eh?
They broadcast fake news about Flynn testimony that dropped the stock market by 300 points. Took them 8 hours to walk it back.
They broadcast footage from Kentucky that was doctored and then claimed it was “Trump’s fault war in Syria” footage. Later ABC would only claim “it APPEARS to be from Kentucky”. No. It absolutely IS from Kentucky.
Yes, they have no interest in the “suicide” of America’s most important federal prisoner, an act which Ann Coulter warned of in a column ten days before it happened. Reasons for his “suicide” - 1) the guards were tired since they had to work overtime and there was no money to pay others who could help on security; 2) the tired guards didn’t do a walk-through for 3 hours even though Epstein had tried “suicide” two weeks earlier; 3) the cameras outside his cell both oddly “malfunctioned” THAT night; 4) prisoners on suicide watch invariably are given prison roommates, he had none; 5) the Federal Bureau of Prisons just didn’t have the money for all this hi-falutin’ security measures. Yet they had the $ to take El Chapo to trial at federal court in Brooklyn every day in a caravan of SUVs for which they daily shut down the Brooklyn Bridge with helicopters hovering overhead. Yet the corrupt FBI had the $ so they can raid the very dangerous Roger Stone’s house at 6 am with dozens of paid federal agents (imagine the overtime), with a boat on the river opposite his house and a helicopter hovering overhead.
Feminazis will pressure women not to come forward and tell them to take one “for the team”.
Feminazis are not pro-woman and are not against rapists.
Remove the libel protections of the press.
Lawyers will love that.
Wnitey Bolger was also a Federal prisoner. He was murdered during a transfer. Someone on the inside leaked the details of who he was and when he would be in a specific location to hitmen.
But we aren’t supposed to ask ‘who blabbed’ and I have not heard anything on this case since. Have any of his killers been sentenced for their role in his murder?
Whitey Bolger is connected to the Corrupt AF FBI. Queer time for him to check out.
We used to call this an Illegal In Kind Political Contribution, and it should warrant a Billion Dollar FINE and JAIL Time for the Executives in Charge, then it will stop.
I am coming to believe that Soros type organizations are paying all sorts of people even in little towns to publish editorials, etc. in local papers. We are a very conservative voting county and lately the democrats are entering all sorts of false editorials and never admit wrong even when proven. They have fallen for false doctrine and cannot admit it. Power has taken over their souls and are too proud to say they are wrong!
THANK YOU VERITAS!!!! Can’t deny videos!!!
....there’s a comic strip somewhere for the swiss cheese comment!!!!!!!!!
Bottom line is: lies about Republicans fit the ABC standards, truth about Democrats do not fit ABC standards.
Queen: can we fix that thing that is happening in the US?
General Buzz: you mean the Epstein business. Nasty stuff.
Queen: yes, maybe you can send 005 to right things, she’s so good with TV cameras, even fixed one that I was taking on vacation to Scotland.
General Buzz: yes ma’am. She could fix those camera’s in a jiff, put people to sleep with some knock out pills that you use to get to sleep with, and parachute out like nobody’s business. Top drawer stuff.
Queen: I’ll give her my percodan and give her a cat woman outfit if she is ever spotted, so we can deny everything.
General Buzz: but those Americans are smart. We have to throw them off the scent.
Queen: maybe leave an autographed picture of Bill Clinton crumpled up in the waste paper basket. Make it look like Hillary or Bill did it. Oh wait... word just in that Epstein is dead. Maybe they did do it.
Queen: yes.
Striking, isn’t it, about the utter lack of curiosity among the “press”? I chalk it up to two things: first, they don’t want to embarrass their friends (remember Lyndon Johnson? After the JFK assassination, the press mantra was the the city of Dallas was full of hate and that killed him; no curiosity as to just how a USDA inspector looking into LBJ’s corrupt subsidy receipts “committed suicide” on his ranch by shooting himself in the back of his head with a shotgun; 24 years later, the verdict of “suicide” was finally changed to an unsolved “murder”. Second, I think the “journalists” are scared stiff of looking into anything that may cause them to suddenly drive off the road to commit suicide.
Epstein didn’t kill himself.......
