Don Jr hammers ABC News for mistakenly saying Trump directed Flynn to contact Russians - as the network suspends top reporter Brian Ross for the error

superbeets · Dec 3, 2017

Donald Jr went on the attack against ABC News on Saturday after it emerged that its claim that Donald Trump ordered Michael Flynn to contact Russia was inaccurate.
The news company said it had suspended Brian Ross, its chief investigative correspondent, over the Friday claim, which saw US stocks, the dollar and Treasury yields drop in response.
'@ABC retracts their misleading "bombshell" and removes their tweet approximately 12 hours after they knew it to be false,' Trump Jr tweeted.
'I know it's rare for you guys to get more than 200 RTs so I guess you milk it when you can?!?! #fakenews'

ABC News' Brian Ross (left) has been suspended without pay for four weeks after he wrongly said on Friday that Donald Trump told Michael Flynn to contact Russia

Ross' source actually told him that Trump told Flynn and others to figure out ways to help improve relations with Russia and other countries. Don Jr ripped into ABC News afterwards

+2

Donald Trump also tweeted sarcastic congratulations to ABC News for suspending Ross, once more invoking 'fake news'

Trump also tweeted about the suspension.
'Congratulations to ABC News for suspending Brian Ross for his horrendously inaccurate and dishonest report on the Russia, Russia, Russia Witch Hunt,' he wrote.
'More Networks and "papers" should do the same with their Fake News!'
Flynn pleaded guilty on Friday to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia, and he agreed to cooperate with prosecutors who are delving into the actions of President Donald Trump's inner circle before he took office.
Soon after, ABC News - citing a confidant of Flynn's - reported that the former national security adviser was prepared to testify that Trump directed him to make contact with Russians when he was a presidential candidate.
Wall Street's main indexes all fell by more than 1 per cent after the report.
ABC News later issued a correction that the source clarified that Trump had assigned Flynn and a 'small circle of senior advisers' to find ways to improve relations with Russia and other hotspots during the presidential campaign.

'It was shortly after the election that President-elect Trump directed Flynn to contact Russian officials on topics that included working jointly against ISIS,' ABC News said.
In a statement on Saturday , ABC said: 'We deeply regret and apologize for the serious error we made yesterday.
'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.
'Effective immediately, Brian Ross will be suspended for four weeks without pay.'

No he won't because ignorance is bliss, have you seen his behavior around here?

he starts one thread after another predicting some catastrophic event for the administration, and he's WRONG EVERY FUCKING TIME

butt that never stops him, he just starts another thread that eventually gets SHOVED UP HIS ASS, butt that doesn't stop him, he just makes the same mistakes over and over again

he is, by the very definition of the word, INSANE (although I prefer to say he's a FUCKING IDIOT)

They dont care, and those who believe the agenda dont care either. Look at how the BLM movement got started, the riots, looting, police being killed, etc... All on a lie "Hands up, dont shoot"...

There's 2 types of people in this world. People who see a report like that and think it is irresponsible journalism. And people who wish they could release info like that so they could short the market beforehand.

Veteran ABC News investigative reporter Brian Ross is leaving the network less than a year after he was suspended for an erroneous report about former national security adviser Michael Flynn
