Chryon, not "Chiron' ...... do you think some little robot wrote that? Perhaps it was a ghost or even a puppy.

Chyrons don't just print themselves up out of thin air. Even before going out over the air to the public, the studio director can see a "preview" of any element displayed on the screen. Some anti-Trump scum typed it up and the director approved it. It was timed to go out when the President was on air with the Pool Reporters.

“We regret and apologize for the false lower third graphic that aired during our special report. We are investigating how incorrect information was in our system and how and why it was allowed to air,” ABC News tweeted. “We apologize to our viewers and to Mr. Manafort. There simply is no excuse for this sort of mistake.”

Good for ABC. Made a mistake and apologized. Unlike Fox News who is being sued for imaginary Hannity fairy tales.

I'd bet money that Manafort is one degree of separation from 'manslaughter' and more like oligarch-ordered murders.

I don't believe we've ever seen a correction from the White House.

You don't even see the slightest bit of irony in your post? I laughed, so thanks for brightening my day.

Someone blew it, big time. Network acknowledged it and apologized.

Obviously some heads will roll.

Fake news rarely if ever acknowledges “ mistakes”, let alone apologizes for it unless court- ordered to do so.

Sorry to see that you don’t perceive a difference.

Thanks for posting.

That’s as good as the classic “ Big Vladdy”:

And when will the fake President retracts any of his lies?

Hysterical that Trumplings who swallow every piece of garbage that comes out of his mouth think they have any moral high ground to attack a news network for a bizarre error that was quickly retracted and apologized for.

They owned it , regretted it and apologized to viewers and Manafort.

The opposite of fake news.

I worked in TV production for 30 years and you'd be surprised what pops up on-air out of the font room inadvertently.

But I guess that doesn't forward your narrative...

Google "Bad Chryon" if you're in a mood for a few laughs.
