ABC News Raked For Clarification Then Correction Of Brian Ross Flynn Reporting [Privacy Badger has replaced this AddThis button.]

On ABC Friday, following news that former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn had pleaded guilty in the Russia probe, correpsondent Brian Ross reported during an on air special report that Flynn, is prepared to testify that Pres. Trumpas a candidate, Donald Trumpordered him, directed him to make contact with the Russians, which contradicts all that Donald Trump has said at this point.
ABC was forced to first clarify, then correct Rosss reporting online and on air.
David, a clarification on something one of Flynns confidants told us and we reported earlier today, Ross said at the end of his World News Tonight story. He said the president asked Flynn to contact Russia during the campaign. Hes now clarifying that saying, according to Flynn, candidate Trump asked him, during the campaign, to find ways to repair relations with Russia and other hotspots. And then after the election the president-elect asked himtold himto contact Russia on other issues including fighting ISIS.
Interestingly, for all his tweets about Fake News, Pres. Trump hasnt mentioned ABCs mistake and correction (at least not as of this writing). But, given that its about the Russia investigation, perhaps thats not surprising. Trumps former press secretary, however, was among those crying foul on twitter last night:

When will GayBC’s The Shrew be backpeddling (buying back, not spinning back) their crap?
When will the partisan Hill be saying “Whooops!”?
So many liberal outlets had orgasms over this yesterday.
Only DisneyABCNews is called out.
7 headed hydra, cut one off, 3 more heads grow back.
Trump’s lack of response is called, letting them twist in the wind. LOL
How much more of this fake and fabricated news are abc watchers
and ADVERTISERS
going to take before they drop abc like the rotten seething pile of rotten defecation they are?
The usual gross distortions that makes the MSM so despised.
Brian Ross is the same clown who accused the Colorado movie shooter as being a Tea Party member. That was not true.
Tree. Rope. Some assembly required.
It's not so much when they say "Whooops" as when they say "Whooopie!!!"
They cheer-on and even try to bring-about dysfunction of government and stock market crashes. At this point they just need to be stopped.
So, you get it wrong and the stock market drops 300 points. Bonds and bitcoin go flying up. And they just “clarify”. The difference between the reports is Trump doing something possibly wrong and Trump doing what every President-elect is supposed to do.
Also, since the General is going to say that Trump told him to do what he was supposed to tell him. The crime is not Trump. The General is going after someone else. Maybe even Manafort or Podesta.
Greta Van Susteren said, “I dont believe it was deliberate .” She just lost all credibility.
Good.
The MSM has called wolf, once to often.
If I made a mistake half that bad I would be fired INSTANTLY!
Liberals put out lies they want EVERYONE to hear... then they put out small correction.
Fake hate crimes are a classic example...
Are there no editors anymore, no standards of Journalism practiced?
Malicious and harmful fake news is a Hallmark of liberalism. These people are swine,
plain and simple.
But we have to ban the term “fake news”, right, MBSM?
No doubt that was the plan. /s
