This is a legit ‘Holy s*it’ moment:

Looks like two media outlets conspired to retaliate against a whistleblower. Meanwhile, they’re claiming Resistance talking point that merely identifying Ukraine leaker — even though he’s protected from retaliation— is unacceptable. Interesting. https://twitter.com/yashar/status/1192447374985252864 …

Not only have most networks ignored this major story about ABC News killing the Epstein story years ago, but now CBS News has assisted ABC News in punishing the person who allegedly exposed it. https://twitter.com/yashar/status/1192447374985252864 …

“Truth to power” it’s not:

Two news networks colluding to fire someone who leaked a massive bombshell about one of them covering up for a highly connected pedophile

Now watch as journalists all turn away so not to endanger their own future job prospects.

But sure guys. Truth to power or something.

Not all whistleblowers are created equal:

Some whistleblowers (like those who reveal a years-long corporate cover-up of a notorious pedophile) are less equal than others. https://twitter.com/yashar/status/1192447374985252864 …
