Beleaguered ABC News was reeling Thursday morning after having to correct its latest anti-Trump error -- an on-screen caption Wednesday afternoon that falsely stated that Paul Manafort, Donald Trump's ex-campaign chief, pleaded guilty to five charges of manslaughter.

ABC quickly apologized for the error – saying there “is no excuse” -- and an ABC spokesperson said the network is still “investigating” what went wrong.

Time to pass laws about fake news and the prison time and fines that come with it.

However it’s always a malicious joke about republicans or conservatives

Yeah, just like with that ABC News Miami chyron that moved from the lower right corner of the screen to just where George Zimmerman's bruised scalp was in that police station video.

Guess who gets fired? Yep the techie, not the bottle blond Ms. Perky..

not for nothing but from the discription I’d probably be in favor or giving the bubble headed bottle blonde a second chance. Then a third, fourth, etc.

Several folks involved back then suspect that she really, truly paid too high a price to be hired on that contract.

Of course, it all ended with the #MeToo movement ....

And dear sweet ladies have never traded anything but gossip for a promotion ...

The “error” was caused by the person who decided to put the “practice” chyron on the air.
