David Rhodes, president of CBS News and brother of former Barack Obama speechwriter Ben Rhodes, is reportedly coming under “increased scrutiny” as people accuse him of overseeing a culture of permissiveness with regard to sexual harassment.

CBS president Les Moonves has resigned after multiple sex harassment allegations were leveled at him. This comes on the heels of Charlie Rose’s well-documented downfall at the Eyeball Network for his many cases of alleged sexual harassment and misconduct.

Moonves’ wife Julie Chen works under David Rhodes at CBS News, and David Rhodes has been visibly chummy with Charlie Rose.

Variety reports:

“CBS News has also come under fire, with reports describing a culture permissive toward abusive behavior. Those reports have centered on “60 Minutes” producer Jeff Fager, but he and news president David Rhodes will likely face only increased scrutiny during a transition process. And with Moonves leaving, questions about the future of Moonves’ wife, Julie Chen, will likely intensify. One of CBS most high-profile on-screen talents, Chen hosts the “Big Brother” franchise and is co-host of “The Talk.” Whether Chen, who has publicly defended Moonves, can remain a viable presence on CBS in the wake of her husband’s departure under assault allegations remains to be seen.”Variety passage ends

Ben Rhodes instituted a program in the Obama White House known as “Operation Echo Chamber,” by which the Obama people manipulated mainstream news networks like his brother’s CBS News, which muzzled investigative reporter Sheryl Attkisson for reporting on the Fast and Furious scandal.

The Obama gang is famous now for shadow diplomacy, including John Kerry’s negotiations with Iran that went around sitting President Trump. We also have evidence that some of Barack Obama’s shadow diplomacy trips — staged at the same exact time Trump was visiting those countries — were meant to obtain permission to surveil Trump on his overseas tours.

The liberal mainstream media is trying to pin Sebastian Gorka as the author of the “Echo Chamber” memo that exposed the plot. The White House is well known for amazing intellectual tomes like Rich Higgins’ National Security Council memo on the plot within the Deep State and State Department to damage Trump.

Here is what the New Yorker reported:

“In early 2017, some of Donald Trump’s advisers concluded that they faced a sophisticated threat responsible for “coordinated attacks” on the new Administration. They circulated a memo, titled “The Echo Chamber,” which read like a U.S. military-intelligence officer’s analysis of a foreign-insurgent network. Instead of being about enemies in a distant war zone, however, the network described in the memo consisted of former aides to President Barack Obama.

The memo claimed that the “communications infrastructure” that the Obama White House used to “sell Obamacare and the Iran Deal to the public” had been moved to the private sector, now that the former aides were out of government. It called the network the Echo Chamber and accused its members of mounting a coördinated effort “to undermine President Trump’s foreign policy” through organized attacks in the press against Trump and his advisers. “These are the Obama loyalists who are probably among those coordinating the daily/weekly battle rhythm,” the memo said, adding that they likely operated a “virtual war room.” The memo lists Ben Rhodes, a former deputy national-security adviser to President Obama, as “likely the brain behind this operation” and Colin Kahl, Vice-President Joe Biden’s former national-security adviser, as its “likely ops chief.” Rhodes and Kahl both said in interviews that the allegations are false and no such organization exists.”

The story makes sense, considering Ben Rhodes’ own ridiculous admission that he manipulates low-IQ individuals in the mainstream media to sell Obama’s terrible policies to the public.

Ben Rhodes actually bragged about his manipulation of clueless reporters to the New York Times magazine in a piece also covered by the Washington Post.

“All these newspapers used to have foreign bureaus. Now they don’t. They call us to explain to them what’s happening in Moscow and Cairo. Most of the outlets are reporting on world events from Washington. The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That’s a sea change. They literally know nothing,” Rhodes told the New York Times magazine.
