ABC News President: ‘We Have Taken A Huge Hit’ Over Bungled Flynn Report
Chris White

ABC News president James Goldston blasted the outlet’s staff Monday over a report about former national security adviser Michael Flynn that contained major errors and eventually caused the stock market to tank.
ABC News “spent this weekend getting absolutely pilloried as a news division for reporting fake news,” Goldston noted, according to a CNN (http://money.cnn.com/2017/12/04/media/abc-news-president-brian-ross-flynn-correction/index.html) report Monday afternoon. “250,000 tweets. One percent positive, 99 percent negative about this news division. Two tweets from the president,” he told staff.
Brian Ross initially reported Friday morning that Flynn was prepared to testify that President Donald Trump instructed him during the presidential campaign to reach out to the Russians. Flynn, a former White House senior adviser, pleaded guilty (http://dailycaller.com/2017/12/02/no-justice-trump-claims-flynn-held-to-higher-standard-than-hillary-clinton/) on Friday to lying to the FBI as part of the investigation into Russian meddling into the 2016 election.
It took Ross seven hours to correct the report. Flynn was prepared to testify Trump made the request as president-elect, he said in a corrected report on “World News Tonight” later that day. ABC News suspended Ross Saturday for a month without pay for what it termed a “serious error.” He was also prevented from issuing any more reports on the president.

They just continue to expose what we already know, they are agenda driven and not worth anyones attention.

ABC has taken a hit, but the hard core hacks who wanted to believe the initial false report, still believe it.

At least they admit their mistakes, unlike Faux News. But you all trust Faux News.

Only because they got BUSTED FOR IT. Spare us the self-righteous bullshit, please. Everyone sees the Russia LIE for what it is, and Mueller for what he is, a corrupt, duplicitous political operative.

The wheels have fallen off of your apple cart...
