ABC News apologized Tuesday after the Monday night edition of Nightline edited a quote from former George W. Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer in a way that made it appear that he was more critical of current White House press secretary Sean Spicer than he actually was.

Apologize?
ABC News must FEAR reprisal.
That’s new and refreshing.
So ari finally gets it....
This sounds like the sort of thing that Brian Ross does.
The Ministry of Propaganda only knows how to lie.
The fact that the Bush administration remained supine for both terms makes it believable.
So the lying f-cks at ABC got caught yet again?Wow,they just don’t get it.
#FakeABCNews
So much winning!
This is an incredible amount of winning folks.
Go Trump!
You’ve got them on their heels.
What would be classic is if Spicer had Fleischer at the podium with him tomorrow during the daily press briefing to talk about this....and spank the enemedia yet again.
Ok Donald. Based on this obvious manipulation of news, ABC should be banned from the WH for one month!!! P-E-R-I-O-D!! These scum want to behave like children, they get a timeout!!! Just like military training, one scum messes up, ALL pay for it!!!! It’s a team effort!!
It is no longer easy to put out “fake news” when people are on to you.
When the hell is everyone even remotely considered Conservative, or even a Republican, going to quit doing filmed interviews with any member of the MSM? This deceitful editing is all too common and the only ways to end it is to refuse interviews or insist on going live.
What does ‘spox’ mean? Have we lost the language?
Yes, since (unfortunately) spanking is not allowed, privileges must be withheld for an appropriate time.
“The Ministry of Propaganda only knows how to lie.”
Even if they knew how to tell the truth, they wouldn’t. They don’t want to.
spokesman.....as in Sean Spicer
Or in this title, Ari Fleischer
Just in the last two weeks we have Fake News from CNN, Washington Post and now ABC! WINNING the Fake News argument here......mainstream Media was pretending it was ‘Conservative’ news sources that were putting forth Fake News. Bwahahahahahahahaha!
Fakers gotta fake
