Bloomberg News Killed a Story About Communist China's Ruling Class Getting Capitalistically Super-Wealthy, In Order to Maintain Favor;
Bloomberg Then Went After the Reporter and Even His Wife

Hearings. Now.

The public has a right to know if its supposed news organizations are colluding with a hostile foreign communist regime.

Bloomberg News was so determined to kill the story completely that they fired the reporter they'd already censored suspecting him of having talked about the story. (That is, fired for committing journalism.)

They threatened him and demanded he sign an NDA.

He did.

They also threatened his wife -- who had no connection to Bloomberg, except for her husband -- and demanded that she also sign an NDA swearing to never speak ill of Bloomberg.

She refused.

Fincher is a former correspondent for CNBC and Voice of America. At the time, she was finishing up her doctorate at a Chinese university. She bristled at what the company's lawyers were suggesting.

"They assumed that my husband would be able to silence me," Fincher says. "He didn’t want to do that. That's not the kind of relationship that we have."

Fincher tells NPR she walked out of the conference room, took the elevator to the lobby, left the building and never returned. Bloomberg LP continued to press her.

The story that Bloomberg News killed, and the reporter who wrote it, eventually made their way to the NY Times. Fincher, the reporter’s wife, wrote about Bloomberg's attempts to silence her for the Intercept. But the whole story does make you wonder what else Bloomberg News is not reporting for fear of offending authoritarian governments.

Meanwhile, CNN is releasing "journalistic reports" that are nigh-perfect copies of propaganda dispatches from China. Compare CNN's "report" with Red China's own "press release."

Last week Tucker Carlson reported on Comcast's (parent company of NBC) business dealings with Red China, which includes a billion dollar theme park just outside of Beijing.

Gee, I wonder why so many NBC News propagandists have been carrying water for China lately?

"The Chinese inserts in 'The New York Times' or 'The Washington Post,' those have gotten a lot of attention but also some of these bigger conglomerates like Comcast which owns NBC Universal, for example they are building a big theme park in Beijing which is a multibillion dollar investment which hasn’t come on line yet," Bloom continued. "And so what does that mean? If Rachel Maddow were to come on and start bashing the Chinese government, you know, the communist party could come down and say, 'Actually, we are not interested in opening or theme park anymore.'"

Hearings. Now.

"The Chinese inserts" refers to propaganda that Red China pays the New York Times and Washington Post to distribute right alongside their own propaganda, as "special inserts."
