ABC busted for Fake News

Russian asset
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.

When the media starts firing people over incidents like this I’ll take their whining over Trump calling them fake news, somewhat seriously.

Now last I knew the Founding Fathers created only one position of Chief Executive, and that person represented the United States in dealing with foreign nations.

As many times as conservatives attempt to spin it, Flynn was acting illegally, if nothing else violating the Logan Act, which is still a law, and if ordered or directed to do so by a superior, a whole new series of questions arise

Ahhhh yes....the good old Logan Act....remember when,

Even before Jane Fonda went to Hanoi to meet with the enemy and mock America, John Kerry secretly met with enemy leaders in Paris..
The 1970 meeting that John Kerry conducted with North Vietnamese communists violated U.S. law, according to an author and researcher who has studied the issue.
Kerry met with representatives from “both delegations” of the Vietnamese in Paris in 1970, according to Kerry’s own testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on April 22, 1971. But Kerry’s meetings with the Vietnamese delegations were in direct violation of laws forbidding private citizens from negotiating with foreign powers, according to researcher and author Jerry Corsi, who began studying the anti-war movement in the early 1970s.
According to Corsi, Kerry violated U.S. code 18 U.S.C. 953. “A U.S. citizen cannot go abroad and negotiate with a foreign power,” Corsi told CNSNews.com.
By Kerry’s own admission, he met in 1970 with delegations from the North Vietnamese communist government and discussed how the Vietnam War should be stopped.
Kerry explained to Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman J. William Fulbright in a question-and-answer session on Capitol Hill a year after his Paris meetings that the war needed to be stopped “immediately and unilaterally.” Then Kerry added: “I have been to Paris. I have talked with both delegations at the peace talks, that is to say the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the Provisional Revolutionary Government.”


“In [Kerry’s] first meeting in 1970, meeting with Madam Binh, Kerry was still a naval reservist – not only a U.S. citizen, but a naval reservist – stepping outside the boundaries to meet with one of the principle figures of our enemy in Vietnam, Madam Binh, and the Viet Cong at the same time.
Any body arrested for violating the Logan Act......????

For your sake, let's hope you are not relying on that for a defense, common sense tells us Mueller didn't allow Flynn to plead guilty to a lesser charge because he was feeling sorry for him, obvious Flynn has something to say, and by the fact his legal team isn't talking to the White House's legal team hints at the direction Mueller is heading

Socialist State Media spewing propaganda lies. Stupid lefties fooled again, by their masters, ... for the umpteenth time :palm:
 
Remember when Brian Ross of the "resistance" claimed the Aurora shooter was a Tea Partier?

During coverage of the 2012 Aurora Shooting, Ross suggested on the air a connection between a member of a Colorado Tea Party group and the shooting, based on the gunman's name, without any confirmed evidence. Describing Ross as one of the most controversial reporters in television journalism, Dylan Byers reported that Ross had come "under attack again" for his reporting. Ross and ABC News President Ben Sherwood apologized for the comment.
