ABC News suspends Brian Ross for 4 weeks over erroneous Flynn story
by Oliver Darcy @oliverdarcy December 2, 2017
ABC News announced Saturday that it has suspended investigative reporter Brian Ross for four weeks without pay after Ross was forced to correct a bombshell on-air report about Michael Flynn.
"We deeply regret and apologize for the serious error we made
yesterday. The reporting conveyed by Brian Ross during the special
report had not been fully vetted through our editorial standards
process," ABC said in a statement. "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."
"It is vital we get the story right and retain the trust we have built
with our audience -- these are our core principles," the statement
added. "We fell far short of that yesterday."
Citing a single
anonymous source, Ross told viewers during an ABC special report on
Friday morning that Flynn was prepared to testify that Donald Trump, as a
candidate for president, told him to contact Russians.-go to links-
