Project Veritas, a right-wing group, released a video of ABC anchor Amy Robach caught on a hot mic discussing her reporting on Epstein 3 years ago. She says that she interviewed a survivor and had found links to British royalty and American politicians but ABC did not let her run the story. They questioned whether people would care about the story because people would not know who Epstein is. As well, she mentions that the British royalty pressured ABC not to run the story and ABC gave in to the pressure because they wanted an interview with Will and Kate.
To me this seems like a perfect example of what Noam Chomsky was talking about in Manufacturing Consent. ABC got flak from elites like the crown and Alan Dershowitz. The media is oriented towards elite interests and strives to protect them.
