ABC News Anchor Caught on Hot Mic Saying Network Quashed Jeffrey Epstein Story

  > She went on to say the network was afraid that running the story would prevent interviews with Kate Middleton and and Prince William. Ah yeah, what every commercial network is afraid of, being cut off from those viewer-(and ad money)-attracting interviews with the rich, famous and influential. When Glenn Greenwald sounded saner* he wrote a lot about the access-hungry "journalists", apparently then-VP Biden even had a summer party once, and they all wanted to be invited there. They all wanted to feel they were part of the ruling elite, instead of challenging them... * Maybe he still is sane and I'm just being misled by the media?

    I think you're heavily underestimating the willingness of media outlets to kill news stories. I'd recommend a book called Into the Buzzsaw by Kristina Borjesson (a former television producer) In the book she interviews a number of famous news anchors and writers who recount the censorship that they experienced by the news outlets they worked for.

    Is Glenn Greenwald less sane like how Julian Assange is less credible?

  It's a damn shame that it's always the often-coined "alt-right" media sources that publish these findings - which then get dismissed by many because "oh they're not reputable, they post scam/sham articles all the time for attention, etc. etc. etc." I know quite a few people that would jump on me for sharing a dailybeast link - while other, well known reputable news companies (like ABC!) hide the same stories from the general populace because it won't make them money.

    Sorry, the dailybeast is "alt-right"? Did I miss the next step in the career of Tina Brown?
