White House counselor Kellyanne Conway on Monday said she would have fired ABC's Brian Ross if he made the kind of error he made last week, when he said former national security adviser Michael Flynn made contact with the Russians when Donald Trump was still just a candidate for president.
After Ross's story tanked the stock market, ABC first issued a clarification and then a full correction to the story, and suspended him for four weeks without pay.
"If Brian Ross worked for me, and I was a private employer for many years, it would not be four weeks of unpaid suspension for a guy making seven figures to lie on the air," Conway told Fox Business Network Monday morning. "It would be complete termination because, just hypothetically speaking, because he did move markets, not because he's Brian Ross, but because he was talking about President Trump, who's the market mover here."

Oh, and pants him. Definitely pants him.
You know it’s bad when you get trolled by Miss Alternate Facts.
You know, I think you've hit on something! This could become the American form of ‘caning’, like in Singapore. We can include wedgies, super-gluing your toes together, and lots of fun things..
Haha. I like it. I’ll email Kellyanne right away.
I think Ross like the entire media is a liar. I think he told an intentional lie. What the hell is new? The media is totally discredited except for Fox and a few outlets. The rest of it is just propaganda and pay no attention to ANYTHING they say. Its all lies and smear.
I heard ABC radio news say that Roy Moore is “accused of sex with teenagers” with out the absolutely required “Which is unproven and totally denied !!”. OUTRAGEOUS SMEAR!!
Doesn’t Brian Ross just READ what’s put in front of him? Or is there some proof that he made this up on the fly?
Why aren’t they looking at whoever WROTE the story that he read? Do News Anchors actually DO their own ‘reporting?’ If so, when did that start?
I really don’t know. Just asking.
If he worked for me, he would have been fired immediately and so would “The View” host, nutcase Joy Behar. there is nothing to talk about.
My question is:
Did he come up with that lie or was he just reading a TelePrompTer?
If he was just reading it, then who wrote it or approved it?
He’s a lead INVESTIGATIVE Reporter..................IOW, he make stuff up....................
He did it all by his lonesome......................
OK. I thought he was an Anchor. I never watch the Alphabet News, once in a great while I’ll watch the local for the weather. ;)
I get my weather either from the NOAA Website or I look out the window....................
Error? Error? That was no error. It was a malicious democrat attack.
The ‘real’ story:
Behind the scenes at ABC: Quick, yank Brian Ross for a while till they forget!
The real story at ABC behind the scenes:
Get a replacement for Brian Ross for a few months! Try to get Brian Williams from NBC!
"Go F*** Yourself San Diego."
Ron Burgundy
Except, hip hop thugs are mostly depantsed anyway...
Error: Democratese for baldfaced lie.
She doesn’t need me to defend her, but I will anyway. Here is an example of the kind of “alternate facts” she was talking about. This is my example, for clarity, not hers. Fact , All mass shootings are committed with guns. The alternate applicable fact is all mass shootings are committed by liberals and progressives. Both are equally true, but the media and politicians pick the one they can use to strengthen the narrative. “Alternative facts” are real.
