It will be interesting to see what develops around the stock market losses. I plan to call my Advisor on Monday to see if I lost money or got a windfall due to the ABC fake news.

ABC should have fired Brian Ross.

agree, waldokitty.

Ross should have been fired years ago. He blamed a Tea Party member for the Aurora massacre. Ross is so toxic to the credibility of ABC News. I can't believe the management of this organization chooses to still employ him.

All the networks have done this. ABC, NBC, CBS, and some cable outlets also like CNN, and MSNBC. When they get caught they will suspend, or sometimes even fire employees. The fake Bush story ended Dan Rather's career on network news. It is always pushing the Progressive agenda, and narrative with either made up stories, or modified stories that support it. Many, many people believe the false narrative, then if they do get caught, and retract the story, it often falls on deaf ears, or gets buried.

It has become an epidemic, of retracting and correcting and even having to clarify. They have become the creators and then readers of the talking points, instead of the reporters of the truth, regardless of emotional personal opinion.

I used the ABC report to buy on the dip, so thanks Ross. I knew the story wasn't as bad as the media was making it seem. They've been doing this for over a year

You are weasel wording an excuse for very-sloppy at the least, patently wrong in the main, reporting. The markets recovered, but Ross and ABC created a down draft in the financial markets. He is not worthy of further employment.

I read none of the 'fake newsers' too which you refer for the purpose of dressing up you obfuscation and misdirection.

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.

Democrats were euphoric when they thought they got Trump and in reaction to the false report the stock market took a nose dive and hasn't fully recovered. Many people in the middle class are invested in the stock market to build their wealth so they can retire.

Democrats want to get Trump so bad they are willing to put your investments at risk and cause your wealth to nosedive to get him.

Democrats don't care about the middle class, they care about getting Trump.

Painting with an awfully broad brush this morning, aren't we?

This is one guy being a crappy reporter. He should be fired.

Remember when millions on your side voted to destroy the nation, in no small part because it would annoy liberals?
