Moment TV news anchor mistakenly announces that coma patient had died from coronavirus - before frantically backtracking when he realizes athlete has actually left hospital after dramatic recovery

An ABC news anchor mistakenly announced on-air that a New Jersey man had died from coronavirus, before frantically apologizing when a video clip showed the man had in fact recovered.

New York's Bill Ritter was telling the story of 26-year-old Jack Allard, who was placed in a medically induced coma for five weeks after being diagnosed with a severe case of COVID-19 in March.

Ritter then said New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy had declared in an press conference earlier the same day that Allard had tragically passed away.

'After spending time on a ventilator and five full weeks in the hospital, the governor announced that Jack has died,' Ritter said during the live broadcast.

However, when the producers of the show rolled the clip from Murphy's press conference, the governor in fact revealed that Allard had 'rebounded' from the virus and was 'clapped out by the doctors and nurses who saved his life as he walked out of the hospital.'

One must marvel at the dipshit street reporter with NO ONE NEAR HIM doing his report wearing mask and gloves.

Bottomless narcissism.

The media.

The baseline.

Nothing is lower.

Absolutely nothing.

A new level of lies:

1) Lies
2) Damnable lies
3) Statistics

4) Liberal Talking Points

” Oh my God! They didn’t kill Kenny!”

Hey, isn’t that the same guy they didn’t kill last August in Memphis?
And a year before that, down in the Texas panhandle?

I suppose it would have been too much to ask for the newsreader to do 30 seconds of homework before he started blathering.

And they wonder why people keep chanting “fake news.”
