CBS News has fired a female staffer believed to have had access to the tape of Amy Robach raging against ABC News, Page Six understands. We reported on Wednesday that ABC News chiefs discovered a former employee could be behind the leak of the damning footage of Robach slamming the network for shelving her interview with Jeffrey Epsteins sex slave Virginia Roberts Giuffre. Sources told Page Six that a former staffer had access to the footage of Robach as she aired her frustrations over a hot mike and that employee was now believed to be working at CBS. A TV source told us later on Wednesday that the woman was let go from CBS, after ABC execs alerted the rival network. ABC sources confirmed to us that theyd informed counterparts at CBS about the staffer as a courtesy. As we reported, it is not known whether the woman leaked the tape, which was recorded in July, to the Web site Project Veritas, or may have showed it to others who passed it on.

An ABC source had told us earlier Wednesday that the network was considering its options but added that it was more difficult because the person no longer works there, but if they did, the leak would be a fireable offense. An ABC rep commented: We take violations of company policy very seriously, and were pursuing all avenues to determine the source of the leak. In the leaked footage, Robach says Giuffre who claims she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew by Epstein told me everything. But that ABC would not put [the interview] on the air. The network said the report didnt meet its standards, and on Tuesday a top ABC producer told NPR: We would never run away from that We would never kill a story about Prince Andrew. Thats whats ridiculous on its face. Thats a great story. So if we could do that story, we would have done it!

That's not surprising at all.

Hopefully Amy Robach doesn't end up dead.
---

Yeah that's not suspicious at all
---

I hope they don't lose access to the royals!!

I wonder who in the upper management there was going to Epstein Island. I'd wager someone had a connection and an interest in burying that story.

Private company fires employee for leaking confidential information from another private company to a shitty dumpster fire like Project Veritas?

I don't see the issue, the staffer is obviously not trustworthy

---

Corporate media: WTF we hate whistleblowers now!

---

Whoever's in charge doesn't want this out to begin with. Somebody's gonna die soon and we probably won't hear about it till years later.

Robach was later found dead with 3 self inflicted gunshots to the back of her head. That or sprayed with some cyanide like the Iceman claimed to have done.
---

It sue seems like its radio silence on Epstein. Kind of like the Vegas shooting.
---

I initially assumed fake just because Project Veritas, but them doing this makes it seem real.
---

Its real.
---

News station fires person for reporting news. Sounds about right.

Couldn't have had a more predictable duo of posters to have this take.

True dat.

They didn't deny the authenticity of the video. At least this time, they're not using the excuse that "Epstein is a literal who so don't bother with story about a high profile sex trafficking circle involving politicians around the world".
---

Turns out the person they fired didn't even leak the video

If true, hopefully he or she sues CBS to the point that CBS has to file bankruptcy.
