Star correspondent out following suspension for bogus Gen. Flynn report
Fox News ^ | July 2, 2018 | By Brian Flood

Posted on 07/02/2018 12:21:54 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Beleaguered chief investigative correspondent Brian Ross is leaving ABC News seven months after he botched an “exclusive” report on Donald Trump and Russia that sent the stock market tumbling

.News President James Goldston announced to staffers on Monday that Ross, and his longtime producer Rhonda Schwartz, have “decided to leave the company” in a memo that was obtained by Fox News.

"In their long careers here, Brian, Rhonda and their team have been recognized with nearly every prestigious award in our business – an impressive tally of four George Polk awards, four Peabody awards, four duPonts, five Murrows, 17 News and Documentary Emmys and the Harvard Goldsmith Prize, in 2014, for the single best investigative report in print or broadcast,” Goldston wrote.

The ABC News boss continued: “They’ve exposed government corruption at every level, international human rights abuses and fraud, uncovered dangerous working conditions, sexual abuse cover-ups and dishonest business practices. Their work has led repeatedly to real changes in policy in the U.S. and around the world. They broke numerous stories following 9/11 about the government investigation of the attacks, from the identification of the terrorists to secret CIA prisons. Over the years they have built a team of the best investigative journalists in our industry, and they leave behind an outstanding group that will continue to break stories for many years to come.”

Fruit of the poisonous tree applied to journalism too, how many of these awards were based on made-up crap?

Trump has continued to attack Ross and ABC parent company Disney over the gaffe.

Yeah, it was just a "gaffe". It wasn't deliberate or anything, that's for sure. The Establishment propaganda never stops—even with supposedly "pro-Trump" (LOL) Fox News...

In a related story about Michael Flynn sentencing, both sides studder to reveal their plan.

I think Mueller now knows the FBI 302's were doctored and Flynn's lawyers are just waiting for the truth to come out.

“...exposed government corruption at every level”

Not quite, they seem to have missed the Obama/Clinton level.

Never need to wonder how or why.

Look around this world we made
Equality
Our stock in trade
Come and join the brotherhood of man
Oh what a nice contented world
Let the banner be unfurled
Hold the Red Star proudly high in hand

We are the Priests
Of the Temple of Syrinx
Our great computers
Fill the hallowed halls
We are the Priests
Of the Temple of Syrinx
All the gifts of life
Are held within these walls
