Hey that's great! Every time the stock market falls, someone can be blamed and sued. More work for attorneys!
Clearly putting out a false story of that magnitude from major news organization is something unique. There has to be some liability there with ABC and perhaps Ross personally.

Interesting if Ross was shorting stocks that day. Could be criminal.

Could also be a yeti threesome happening in Nepal. Similar odds.

... and all the while CNBC, largely a pro-business conservative leaning news organization, was nowhere to be found as the story unfolded. At the beginning they missed it entirely. I guess that too would be grounds for a lawsuit.
Larry Kudlow and Rick Santelli, can I have a word with you?

Did they purposely lie, and make up a story, or stories about the companies failing to dupe investors, and create instability in the markets? Well that is what Brian Ross did.

Contrast that with those that engage in regular reporting of fake news: Brietbart, conservative tree house, Gateway Pundit, etc. When one of those sources report 'unconfirmed news', the others fake news sites and blogs quickly pick up the report, not concerning themselves with the accuracy.
I don't know what you consider legit news sources, but Reuters, CNBC and others picked up the wrong original story, which are still out there. The SOP these days is to run with a story and attribute it to the media outlet that reported it. The Reuters story:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-u...-idUSKBN1DV5D1

I'd bet the bigwigs at ABC, CNN, WaPo, NYTimes, etc. would be embarrassed by how often their credibility is compared to websites like The Conservative Treehouse; a one-man operation.

The change happened when the 'press' was all owned by 6 private corporations, in other words, they literally control what is news and what is not.
And to boot, all the big players have an incestuous relationship with the Fed government and Democrats in power. There is a ton of info out there that lists all the players involved. That's how it is being used to push Leftist agendas. It's not real news anymore, it's 100% propaganda.

Huh?..... Huh?.... Huh?

That was rather telling....

The consumer confidence is being driven by the fact, someone that wants you to think for yourself, make your own choices, while making sure you have unlimited choices not restricted by government and has America comes first attitude, is large and in charge.
