We knew that the collective silence from the major news networks regarding Project Veritas' bombshell video this week meant that James O'Keefe had a very eye-opening and shocking story. The video in question was leaked to Veritas by an unknown ABC News employee. It featured ABC News anchor Amy Robach venting that her network "quashed" a major news story three years ago about now-dead pervert and convicted child molester Jeffrey Epstein that would have implicated former President Bill Clinton, the British Royal family, and more. Robach seems to imply the network stopped the story to protect the rich and the power, and to preserve access to high profile figures. It was unclear who leaked the video and if the whistleblower still worked for ABC News. Well, according to Yashar Ali, the leaker had switched jobs and was working for CBS News. That is until ABC News tracked that person down, ratted the employee out, and then had CBS News subsequently fire the whistleblower.
Yashar reported via Twitter Wednesday night that "ABC News execs believe they know who the former employee is who accessed footage of @arobach expressing her frustrations about her shelved Jeffrey Epstein story That former employee is now at CBS and ABC execs have reached out to CBS News execs."

"In a statement, an ABC News spokesperson tells me: 'We take violations of company policy very seriously, and we’re pursuing all avenues to determine the source of the leak,'" he continued.
"It's important to note that ABC News does not know if this former employee leaked the footage to Project Veritas. What they do know is who accessed the footage. It's possible that person could have shared it with others who leaked it," Ali noted.
"As I noted in this thread, ABC News has confirmed they're conducting an investigation into the leak. In response to an email, CBS News says they're declining to comment for this story," he added.

Then, this morning, Ali gave an 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."

As James O'Keefe said, "You have all these anon sources inside ABC News, @yashar, and your priority is not to find out who spiked the #EpsteinCoverup story but to use your anon sources to go after who brought it to light. This is why people hate the media."

Think about this -- rather than question why ABC News would refuse to air an explosive story, CBS sided with its mainstream media buddy to protect the Democrat-Media Complex. Together they protect the Democrats, like Bill Clinton who supposedly would have been exposed in this interview, and together the two groups comprise the Democrat-Media Complex.
