Now that the MSM knows that they can control the stock market this way, look for them to do it again.

Ross is a lying scumbag. As we all know, he’s done this before.

The media, especially a platform as large as ABC, has an immense responsibility to the nation.

ABC, and the media in general, have been responsible for false reporting for years! It's only gotten worse in the last nine and a half years!

The market knows the future of the U.S. economy depends upon the freedom and good management of Donald J. Trump.

They should also know that ABC, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN are far left wing propaganda not news networks.

I suppose this little episode proves one thing... there still are some people that listen to what the LSM says and to some extent, I guess they believe it. I didn’t think that there was a single person anywhere who put any stock in what they say at all... I guess I have to admit to living in my own bubble and echo chamber (as the LSM idiots on CNN are apparently fond of saying).

ABC/NBC has too many ‘insiders’ in Washington as they are the ‘Demorats’ base media megaphone..... Loved and adores the Clinton/Obama machinery and part of it. So their antics aren’t going to stop any time soon.

ABC and CNN have caused such harm to this nation the true cost is incalculable.

Trump should declare both terrorist organisations and shut down both. Their leaders must then be tried for treason .

"False news" is not due to error(s) on the part of the reporter who writes the narrative--it can be laid squarely at the door of the editor in charge, whose charge is to never let falsehood reach the eyes of the public.

Holding the reporter named on the byline to be the only oversight is a serious mistake. It is the editor-in-chief and his minions that hold the blue pencil whose job it is to correct and shape the copy submitted. They are the truth brigade that needs to be chastened when an error of this magnitude is allowed to leak through. They hold the reputation of the publisher in their hands.

IMHO.
