'Holy s*it': CBS has reportedly fired the ABC Epstein whistleblower

As an update to Yashar Ali’s story yesterday on ABC investigating the whistleblower who leaked footage of their anchor questioning the network’s coverage of Jeffrey Epstein, he’s now reporting that CBS had fired the individual:

5. Update: Two sources familiar with the matter tell me that CBS News has fired the staffer in question. This comes after ABC informed CBS that they had determined who accessed the footage of Amy Robach expressing her frustrations about the Epstein story. https://t.co/OHEoyahppY

This is a legit ‘Holy s*it’ moment:

So, they’re colluding?

Looks like two media outlets conspired to retaliate against a whistleblower. Meanwhile, they’re claiming Resistance talking point that merely identifying Ukraine leaker — even though he’s protected from retaliation— is unacceptable. Interesting. https://t.co/WqQgMRLbA6

Not only have most networks ignored this major story about ABC News killing the Epstein story years ago, but now CBS News has assisted ABC News in punishing the person who allegedly exposed it. https://t.co/LFm7jBaibZ

Two news networks colluding to fire someone who leaked a massive bombshell about one of them covering up for a highly connected pedophile

Now watch as journalists all turn away so not to endanger their own future job prospects.

But sure guys. Truth to power or something.

Not all whistleblowers are created equal:

Some whistleblowers (like those who reveal a years-long corporate cover-up of a notorious pedophile) are less equal than others. https://t.co/Mrgiwgnatz

I guess it’s cool to retaliate against whistleblowers now. https://t.co/P0FJjOmV0y

Suddenly the media has no problem going after whistleblowers https://t.co/fRjwBiTT6O

The lesson here is to keep your mouth shut:

If you work for these News companies and dare speak truth to power they will fire you ass faster than you can say

"protect the bottom line at all costs even if it means allowing the most prolific pedophile the world has ever known to walk free" https://t.co/31joI5CYp1
