Brian Williams, NBC, Brian Ross, ABC both cut from the same cloth. A mistake? Right.

The network media are the lowest form of scum out there. I'm grateful for President Trump shining a light on them.

This is about alleged Trump collusion with Russia to win the election. Trump telling Flynn to contact Russian officials During The Campaign is hugely different than when after he was elected. Plus, by leaving out the reason for the contact --- how to work on dealing with ISIS and other issues --- Ross gave the impression the contact was to collude with Trump before the election.

He's suspended.

ABC News suspends Brian Ross over 'serious error' in Flynn report | Fox News

Lied about when Trump directed Flynn to contact Russia.

It has been one of his biggest gifts to America. It's fascinating to watch the likes of CNN, NBC and ABC melt down in front of our eyes.

That is one of the reasons the "pundits" at the MSM hate Trump with a passion.

Their hate has blinded them. They have already forgotten their premature celebrations and will celebrate anything that supports their hate.

Let us recall this: when ABC reported this news Friday around noonish, none of the other legitimate news sources cited the story, for the reason that they could not confirm the story. When ABC 'corrected' their report, only then did the other legitimate news sources begin their reports: on how ABC got it wrong.

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.

Consider this......I don't think Brietbart has any problem with being labeled as "right wing". Same with others. Is that how ABC wants to be known? By their biases as opposed to their fair and equal reporting?

Brietbart is as much if not more an opinion site as opposed to a news site. It's why you can't compare Ross to Hannity. Ross wants to be known as a reporter. If someone wants to try and compare Ross to Shepard Smith, that would be closer.

Wrong again.

This is what really happened as described by CNN...
CNN had initially reached out to ABC News early Friday afternoon to ask why Ross' initial reporting was not included in the network's online story about Flynn pleading guilty for lying to the FBI. Hours later, a spokesperson told CNN a correction was forthcoming.

But ABC News initially attempted to downplay the mistake, referring to its correction as a "clarification" on "World News Tonight" and then online. After a barrage of criticism, the network changed the language online from "clarification" to "correction."
Furthermore the ABC story was re-tweeted 25,000 times before ABC finally deleted it outright.

Thank goodness we have Brietbart and the GWP to keep these asses honest.
