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.

He should be fired.
He was working for Soros and knowingly lied.
Soros will make up his lost pay.

"He broke the number one rule of the Fake media: don’t get caught."

He's been caught plenty.

ABC news faker, Brian Ross is the guy who ran to the studio to breathlessly tell the nation that the Aurora, Colorado theater shooter was a Tea Party member.

I don’t think he comes back from this. A line has been crossed and there is no coming back from where they went. Heck, it impacted the stock market. Isn’t that millions of people who have a vested interest in possibly recovering damages?

Isn’t market manipulation also a criminal act according to the SEC?

Nowadays all you need is an IQ over 20 to be an ABC reporter.

I’m sure he made enough off the stock market yesterday to cover his losses . . . and then some.

He flat out lied because of his hatred for Trump and the contempt he feels for the “unwashed” middle class.

I’ll say. The dude is 69 years old. Why the hell doesn’t he retire. These freaking 60-70-80 year olds are a big nuisance and should retire for goodness sake. They continue to destroy the country and won’t have to live with the consequences.

I wish Fox would do a parody of Joy getting the breaking news memo - maybe with Judge Jeanine? Joy literally almost busted her buttons. What a jerk.

So the suspension is permanent?

A lying, Liberally biased reporter. If that gets you suspended by ABC News, every ABC reporter and anchor should leave immediately.
