Source? I'm not seeing anything in either link that says ABC news admitted the authenticity of the video.
ABC News downplayed the significance of the video, telling Fox News that the Epstein story wasnt fit to air.
At the time, not all of our reporting met our standards to air, but we have never stopped investigating the story. Ever since, weve had a team on this investigation and substantial resources dedicated to it," an ABC News spokesperson told Fox News. "That work has led to a two-hour documentary and 6-part podcast that will air in the new year.
Robach quickly admitted the authenticity of the video, which has not been independently verified by Fox News, but dismissed the notion of unethical journalism.
As a journalist, as the Epstein story continued to unfold last summer, I was caught in a private moment of frustration. I was upset that an important interview I had conducted with [Epstein accuser] Virginia Roberts didnt air because we could not obtain sufficient corroborating evidence to meet ABCs editorial standards about her allegations, Robach said in a statement provided to Fox News.
Where in that does it say ABC news admitted the authenticity of the video?
Their attempt at damage control is a tacit admission that the footage is real. If they thought it was bullshit trickery, they would say so. But they don't. So give it up.
