ABC News Suspends Brian Ross for 4 Weeks Without Pay: ‘Effective Immediately’
The Wrap ^

Posted on 12/02/2017 2:58:15 PM PST by Snickering Hound

ABC News has announced that Brian Ross would be suspended for four weeks without pay “effective immediately.”

“It is vital we get the story right and retain the trust we have built with our audience – these are our core principles. We fell far short of that yesterday,” the network said in a statement on Saturday. “Effective immediately, Brian Ross will be suspended for four weeks without pay.”

Ross came under considerable fire on Friday after he erroneously reported on live television that then-candidate Donald Trump had instructed Michael Flynn to make contact with the Russians.

“There have been many “ooops” before this one... wonder why they did this now?”

They are worried now that while we are uncovering their sexual misdeeds, we'll find that there is even more $hit under their table. Also this adversely affected our stock market, and the SEC could be entertaining a “look see!”

All of this is collectively bringing down "Sodom and Gomorrah on the Hudson."

This guy’s intentional hate and bias cost investors many billions. Why is he not under SEC investigation and massive fines and penalties at the least? This was not an honest mistake this was a continuation of media hate. There needs to be a few significant examples of the dangers of media people continuing to do this.

Considering the damage he did to the stock market, I could envision a massive class action suit against ABC on behalf of the millions of stockholders that lost money because of this farce.

"A clarification tonight on something one of Flynn's confidants told us and we reported earlier today," Ross said on the program. "He said the president had asked Flynn to contact Russia during the campaign. He's now clarifying that saying, according to Flynn, candidate Trump asked him during the campaign to find ways to repair relations with Russia and other world hot spots. And then after the election, the president-elect asked him to contact Russia on issues including working together to fight ISIS."

So, he was colluding to repair relationships and defeat terrorism? Surely that is an impeachable offense! Four weeks is not nearly enough. Ross should be fired.

Ross didn’t make an error. He reported what he WANT to be true, what he NEEDED to be true deep down in his wizend, blackened soul. This kind of crazy is going to light off a conflagration sooner or later...

“At least they acknowledge that Ross made a significant error in his report.”

Error? The word is “lie”.

Ross also flubbed up on ‘candidate Trump’ as opposed to ‘President-elect Trump’.

That made a significant difference in the tone/implication of Ross’s initial report and the clarification and the correction.
