ABC News Suspends Brian Ross for False Reporting on Michael Flynn Bombshell Story
Here's how the original story was framed:
"As a CANDIDATE"
No. Trump was PRESIDENT-ELECT at the time he directed Flynn to talk with the RUSSIAN AMBSSADOR.
Jesus, they are fucking lying there and they know it.
And then ABC News printed a Correction. NOT A RETRACTION - A CORRECTION.
That means they were trying to get away with the idea that it was just a minor mistake.
It was not a minor mistake. The story was totally framed wrong. It was a mistake of kind, not of minor detail.
CORRECTION of ABC News Special Report: Flynn prepared to testify that President-elect Donald Trump directed him to make contact with the Russians *during the transition* -- initially as a way to work together to fight ISIS in Syria, confidant now says. https://t.co/ewrkVZTu2K pic.twitter.com/URLiHf3uSm— ABC News (@ABC) December 2, 2017
HOWEVER:
Moments ago, ABC News announced it has suspended Ross.AND THEN THERE'S THIS:
“We deeply regret and apologize for the serious error we made yesterday. The reporting conveyed by Brian Ross during the special report had not been fully vetted through our editorial standards process. As a result of our continued reporting over the next several hours ultimately we determined the information was wrong and we corrected the mistake on air and online. 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. Effective immediately, Brian Ross will be suspended for four weeks without pay.”
