CBS News has fired a female staffer believed to have had access to the tape of Amy Robach raging against ABC, Page Six understands.

The staffer previously worked at ABC News and had access to audio of ABC anchor Robach caught on a hot mic complaining her bosses had failed to air her interview with Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Guiffre.

A TV source said the woman was let go on Wednesday, after ABC execs alerted CBS.

News media are unelected Democrats. They don’t care if this looks suspicious, they can just do it, without consequence. After all, we can’t vote them out. That’s why the country’s troubles will not be solved at the ballot box.

[McGruff]

President Trump should hire her if just for the TRIGGERED effect.

I wonder if ABC paid this whistleblower off to keep her quiet. ie) you are fired, but we’ll give you a year’s salary - but you can say NOTHING.

Unless they paid her to keep quiet, to protect herself, she needs to go public.

[Eddie01]

They can keep firing leakers but it doesn’t solve the Democrat media’s crisis of credibility and legitimacy.

I think I’m starting to figure this out.

The deep state runs the country.

They can put anyone in jail they want.

So, they hang that over everyone’s head and control the narrative.

The Dems don’t control the media and the media do not control the dems - the deep state controls them both in a very well coordinated way.

Think of the media as a battalion. The deep state has them charge the hill and some will be lost. Hell, the whole battalion might be lost, but as long as the deep states objectives are met so be it.

They fire a REAL Whistleblower and engage in collusion to Censor the Truth!

Conspiracy and collusion amongst 4 Networks that control all the News.

I think she meant too, however, she needed to add a comma after the too, and before the years ago. 8>).

Then it would read thusly:

you can bet NBC and CBS had the story too, years ago.

Remember ABC had the footage as it was their anchor, so she is saying the other 2 networks had the footage also.

FOX forbid its hosts from using Seth Rich’s name!

But they apparently didn't fire the exec(s) that made the decision to spike the Epstein story. Glad to see that CBS has their priorities in order. /s

Opps, getting my alphabet networks mixed up.

Why would a staffer at CBS get fired from something that happened at ABC. Completing companies can’t coordinate like that, that’s illegal.

[bantam]

Why doesn’t the staffer qualify for whistleblower status? SAR

One thing is sure: the now-fired staffer wasn’t the only one who had access to the tape, and as someone who worked in the broadcasting salt mines years ago, the who episode is curious.

First, Ms. Robach wasn’t on the air. I’m guessing she was taping a segment for 20/20; the network magazine shows are pre-recorded, unlike news programs like “World News Tonight.” So, they were obviously between takes, and her commentary wasn’t going to be used as part of the program.

An obvious question: why didn’t the director call “cut,” and tell her to go back to the spot on the prompter where they had left off? Standard TV 101 production practice; don’t waste time/digital space on something you will never use? Instead, the director kept rolling, and for what reason, no one knows.

And there were a lot of people who were present for this, and likely had access to the tape; along with Ms. Robach and the director, there was at least one camera operator, the prompter technician, a technical director, the audio guy, the show producer, the segment producer and the assistant director—and possibly more.

Unless ABC has direct evidence the former staffer downloaded the tape, they may have to fire a lot of additional personnel. And of course, there is no such thing as a whistle-blower in broadcasting, unless you’re exposing buried dirt on conservatives (which doesn’t exist), because state media will run anything that makes Republicans look bad, whether its accurate or not.

Yet they report data from every anti-Republican leaker.

[Timocrat]

The report of the death of the Fourth Estate has not been exaggerated.

I think I’m starting to figure this out. The deep state runs the country.

I would describe the media as the, "Communications division" for deep state. It's exactly what they are.

Without the pedophile media, there would have been a lot of empty seats on Jeffy’s plane.
