ABC busted for Fake News

Darth Omar said:
On ABC Friday, following news that former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn had pleaded guilty in the Russia probe, correpsondent Brian Ross reported during an on air special report that Flynn, “is prepared to testify that Pres. Trump–as a candidate, Donald Trump–ordered him, directed him to make contact with the Russians, which contradicts all that Donald Trump has said at this point.”

ABC was forced to first clarify, then correct Ross’s reporting online and on air.

“David, a clarification on something one of Flynn’s confidants told us and we reported earlier today,” Ross said at the end of his World News Tonight story. “He said the president 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 hotspots. And then after the election the president-elect asked him–told him–to contact Russia on other issues including fighting ISIS.”

In what is becoming an all too familiar pattern, news breaks on the Mueller investigation; and at first blush, it sounds as though Trump may be facing a firing squad by the end of the day. Only to find out it was much ado about not a whole helluva lot.

Even the stock market got sucked in on it.

This is reprehensible. I don’t know what can be done about it beyond firing people. Why does the ABC reporter [Brian Ross] still have a job? And what about the other outlets that followed Ross’s lead and basically reported a lie?

And people wonder why so many don’t trust the media—-you can’t.

Fox too. You have a point? The truth is, what ABC claimed is probably true, as we're about to find out. Of course, they jumped the gun and had to retract the statement.

Well, isn’t that a fine load of horse shit your peddling lol. ‘Probably true’?

Why did Ross feel compelled to garnish the story? Does he have an ideological stake in The Resistance? If he wants to be an activist he needs to come out with it and be one.
