It’s hard to say of James Goldston and or Kerry Smith stopped the publication of an important story, but they surely would have the top go, no go decision making capability. Hence, they are my Whiner(s) of the Week.
People decry the media from both sides depending on the story. Recently Project Veritas leaked a video which shows Amy Robach complaining to a fellow staffer about her Epstein story being quashed by the CBS News Management team.
Amy Robach’s story certainly seems news worthy, why was it stopped by management?
What other story’s are held back because of mis-managment? Are the young ladies molested in the last three years owed an apology by the network?
How did this story come back to life?
What I found interesting about this, is the story was dead, killed by ABC management. What reignited it?
Well, President Trump appointed R. Alexander Accosta to be his Labor Secretary. The ever diligent media poured over his resume and found that Accosta had been a federal prosecutor in Florida.
In 2008 Accosta handled the prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein. In today’s #MeTo , movement, 11-12 years later, Accosta’s deal with Epstein appeared to be too lenient. Hence the media made the decision, he must go.
The review of R. Alexander Accosta, thrust Jeffrey Epstein back into the limelight.
And Amy Robach, ever the Journalist with a great story to tell, looked back and remembered the election time of 2016, where her story, would mess with too many lives, and was quashed by her management. So she sat down, poured her heart out, and somebody taped it. Ouch!
The story could have damaged Hillary Clintons 2016 campaign, and the English Royal Family could take some hits, and others.
Leaked Project Veritas Video
The following video is from Project Veritas. It is a leaked video from an internal interview or discussion. Amy Robach did not know she was being filmed. You could see her sense of frustration at being held back from discussing the her storyfor three years.
No interviews with Royals Kate and Will, ouch!!
