The same networks working to protect the identity of a leaker that may or may not be ‘Eric C’ with respect to impeachment, they are DESPERATE to ‘out’ their own whistleblower.
It seems a little bit ethically dishonest, doesn’t it?
Someone can release information intended to be damaging to the President without any fear of contradiction or scrutiny, but ABC has already reached out to another network to request the firing of someone ABC had assumed was the whistleblower.
The person they had fired maintained her innocence and that was upheld by Project Veritas itself, who published a message sent by the same (unidentified) person who had uploaded the video in the first place. That ‘someone’ took on the name ‘Ignotus’ which can either be the Latin word for ‘unknown’ or a Harry Potter character.
Ignotus had harsh words for ABC’s ‘mission of seek and destroy’ in trying to ‘out’ the leaker.
The ABC insider said, “They are freaking out over the Harry Potter reference. Does this mean the leaker is a Potter fan, likely one of the younger staff members who work the overnight shift? Or is the leaker citing Latin, which means he or she could be an older member of staff. I mean, how many young producers speak Latin these days?”
The source added ABC investigators have been rifling through staff emails and news logs and grilling staffers. The company has been isolating certain employees and putting them under pressure to turn on their colleagues in a bid to find the culprit, the source also claimed, adding that the investigation reports back up to the very highest levels of HR at ABC’s parent company, Disney.
Ignotus isn’t happy with the ABC probe either and under the header, “Why I, alone, released the Amy Robach Epstein tape,” he or she wrote, “I sit right here with you all in complete shock on how this has been handled….[the company] has spun into a mission of seek-and-destroy. Innocent people that have absolutely nothing to do with this are being hunted down as if we are all a sport.
“I challenge all of you to actually look inwards and remember why this company engages in journalism. We all hold the First Amendment at the foundation of this company, yet forget its history, its purpose, and its reasoning for even coming into existence to begin with. How lost we are… yearning to be found. Source: PageSix
It almost seems like they are more committed to learning the truth in this embarrassing leak than they were about the truth of the evidence against a rich-and-connected-to-the-powerful child rapist.
So much for the media’s high opinion of heroic Whistleblowers — even when the whistleblower is exposing complicit silence in NOT exposing a billionaire serial rapist when they have witnesses and photos to corroborate the claims.
Of course, this makes this tweet by ABC talking-head and Clinton Administration flunkie more than a little ironic:
Any updates on ABC getting @CBSNews to fire a producer for not leaking? Or the part where @arobach was forced to spike a story covering #Epstein? During an election? Just wondering. https://t.co/pFUiK3U6Kr

The Ministry of Propaganda is being exposed to anyone with eyes to see.
it’s very dangerous to run a fake news operation, totally devoted to supporting Democrats, when there is a traitor in your midst. That’s what’s driving this search and destroy mission.
Someone will disappear. They’re not sophisticated like Krinton Krime inc.
At least they have their priorities straight...
I find it amusing and very funny that they got the wrong person fired and now face a lawsuit...................
It must drive them crazy to know that there is an honest person in their midst............................
Maybe it’s Stephanopoulos’ sous chef.
I hope they never find the person.
They will be constantly looking over their shoulders from now on...................
It’s someone who has access to recorded media...................................
“Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”

I hope that gal is successful and gets some major $’s out of both ABC and CBS. For ABC to go after an employee who has already left their company is beyond contemptible - especially when they didn’t have any hard evidence. Just wow!
Same Commies who disliked snitches in Hollywood outing Joseph Stalin’s agents
True journalism dies over 20 years ago, with the big companies. Now they are all propaganda arms of the socialist, democrats, and leftists.
here is something for everyone to think about according to the interview that Megyn Kelly did. Ashley Bianco the hot mic video of anchor Amy Robach went out to affiliates of ABC. This means that the number of possible leakers are in the hundreds and spread out over the entire USA in every local tv station.
America news today is actually much worse than Soviet news of yesterday. Back in the Soviet days, everybody knew the news was always fake. In America,way to many people believe fake news even if they know it’s actually fake. The Soviets would have loved the American true believers of today and how the American media is run.
If this is the level of education and critical thinking that goes on inside ABC, we are all in trouble.
It's not a measure of "speaking Latin" or fantasy characters, it's about understanding the history of anonymous political publishing.
The Federalist Papers were signed "Publius." The Anti-Federalist Papers were signed "Brutus," "Centinel," "Cato," "Federal Farmer," and several named authors.
Benjamin Franklin wrote under the name "Benevolus" when explaining the American cause to British readers in the London Chronicle in the 1760s.
Here is a list of other Latin pseudonyms used during the American Constitutional debates.
Harry Potter? That's the first thing that pops into their minds at ABC?
