ABC News has announced that Brian Ross would be suspended for four weeks without pay effective immediately.
It is vital we get the story right and retain the trust we have built with our audience these are our core principles. We fell far short of that yesterday, the network said in a statement on Saturday. Effective immediately, Brian Ross will be suspended for four weeks without pay.
Ross came under considerable fire on Friday after he erroneously reported on live television that then-candidate Donald Trump had instructed Michael Flynn to make contact with the Russians.

ABC is trying to head off a potential FCC investigation/fine for incompetence.
A 4 week unpaid suspension is better than nothing. At least they acknowledge that Ross made a significant error in his report.

His editor, the one responsible, got a fat bonus I assume.

He tanked the market - too light of a punishment

I wish I could hear the crying and see the sad faces of all those liberal snowflakes who were so certain Trump was going down. I think they are close to feeling how I felt for the 8 long years of the Obama rule.

Perhaps he and Dan Rather can create their own news channel.

Well, he’s lucky he didn’t touch a colleague, or make a hurtful remark - firing offenses.
He just f@*$’d up his job, so four weeks sounds right.
