NEW YORK—Citing the device’s absolute betrayal of company values, ABC News officials confirmed Friday that the network had fired the hot mic responsible for converting sound waves of Amy Robach revealing that the network spiked a story on Jeffrey Epstein. “This hot mic’s behavior clearly violates both our corporate guidelines and journalistic standards, and we will not tolerate such blatant adversarial reporting,” said ABC News President James Goldston, who also blasted the defiant electrical signal for working in unison with the microphone to transmit the conversation about the network’s decision to bury a story about the wealthy serial abuser. “It’s a shame to see so-called honest pieces of equipment overriding our editorial standards to push their own agenda. Recording every word Amy said was completely out of context with what was going on. We are also reassigning the camera and desk for their role in undermining and tarnishing ABC News.” At press time, Goldston reassured viewers that ABC would be instituting a much more rigorous vetting process for microphones to ensure such brash insubordination never happens again.

JoeDan1024 Hot Mic was the best-looking employee but he was getting a bit too old. Ageism strikes again.

nytimes fact checked this yet?

vogcinreds Not Cool

JonahDispatch Wow! This is hard to believe! They need to fire the executives who did not run the story not the technology! Unbelievable!

As usual, you speak the truth. You can bet there were more meetings about the 'failure' of the technology than the accountability of the humans involved.

Wow - the Onion going after MSM - Will the Journalist janitor brianstelter attack them like he did the TheBabylonBee

This sounds like a Brian Stelter story.

Epstein didn’t kill himself, the whole sea knows it

Not Hot Mic!

It Is Shameful That ABC News and CBS News Are Punishing the Epstein LeakerNews organizations should not hunt down leakers in their ranks, not when it’s a matter of valid public interest. irin writes irin SRuhle morningmika KatyTurNBC maddow your silence on the Epstein spike is deafening. Sadly, it involves female victims, reporters and staffers and you choose to remain silent; is it your bosses or your politics making you remain silent? redsteeze irin Call the person a Whistleblower Irin...Not a leaker... redsteeze irin Yet you still spend half the article complaining about 'right-wing' criticisms of the media. You are still part of the problem, although I commend you guys for being one of the few outlets to actually address this, and you deserve a lot of credit for it.
