    So much for the good ole fair and balanced ABC news.
    ABC news anchor caught on hot mic claiming ABC spiked the Epstein story because, among other things, they were afraid they would not be able to get interviews with the Royal family. Wow. And all of this happened in 2016. Remember who was running for pres in 2016, and whose husband was alleged to be involved in the Epstein story? I wonder how many young girls were victimized in the intervening three years?

    That was on top of using fake combat footage off of Youtube and representing it as the Turkish attack in Syria. Pitiful.

    jlisenbe: WOW! Now the truth comes out! But its kind of like closing the barn door AFTER the cows got out....damage is done not by lying, this time, but by omission with extreme prejudice! Every time this kind of crap comes out, it just reinforces what all of us already know: The media is EXTREMELY BIASED.....anyone who says it isn't is only fooling themselves. This is not the way journalism is supposed to be, I don't believe.....Like I have said before, why can't it be "Just the fact, Ma'am"?

    so, you have just realised this, journalists are the product of a liberal education system, their thinking is compartmentalised, not only to sensationalise, but to push the liberal agenda

    Same could be said for conservative media also. Everyone seems to be biased one way or another. Should be interesting when public hearings start for the dufus impeachment inquiry next week. Almost as amazing as the way conservatives now blame Epstein on liberals, while staunchly defending the dufus as the evidence mounts for bribery, extortion, conspiracy, and of course obstruction.

    It could be if a person could find an instance where conservative media purposely buried a story in the same way that ABC news did.

    Anyone want to take a wild guess as to how much coverage CNN and MSNBC have given this story? Anyone want to take a guess as to how much coverage they would have given it if it had been FoxNews that did it?

    The reporter said the story couldn't be verified in the first place and in the second you raised all kinds of sand when they had no evidence on Kavanaugh.

    About as much as the dufus stuff that's been buried in magazine vaults and no tell what Fox buries that's bad news for the dufus. You wingers sure love to make hay over stuff and ignore your own.

    That's not what they told the reporter three years ago. Listen to the video. They didn't want to offend the royal family. What they are saying now is about what you would expect a guilty party to say.

    That's what she is saying now, and if they didn't want to run an article smearing some one without EVIDENCE what's the problem?

    We know for FACT the dufus story about paying a porn star to keep her quiet was bought and buried before the election. Guess that's not the same thing though.

    I don't know why. They endlessly ran accusations against Kavanaugh with no more evidence than they had in this case, which was the testimony of a woman who said she was a victim, except that in her case, according to the video, she actually had pictures. Dr. Ford had nothing other than a suspiciously faulty memory.

    .

    How do you know that? Are you suggesting the media did that? If so, what is your evidence?

    So you are seriously suggesting that the National Enquirer would bury big time news like that? And you say because someone named Ronan Farrow said so? That's all you've got? Man, that's pretty lame.

    I suggest NOTHING since they admitted as much and MORE. This is old news you know.

    OK. Fair enough. They should be thoroughly discredited and bashed. I would agree to that. So how about ABC news? Should they also be discredited?

    No, but I question why the reporter didn't follow through on the story and gather evidence. That's her JOB. To be fair though not running a story because it was not corroborated is a good thing.

    She didn't because she was not allowed to. No corroboration? Kind of like the wonderful corroboration they did NOT have with Kavanaugh?

    Where is your evidence she was not ALLOWED to corroborate her story?

    On the video it says she was not allowed to run the story by her bosses.
