ABC News Apologizes After Banner Falsely Claims Paul Manafort Killed Five People
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | 20 June 2018 | Alex Griswold

ABC News issued an apology Wednesday after a banner during a live report claimed that former Donald Trump aide Paul Manafort had admitted to killing five people.

The network covered President Donald Trump's afternoon meeting live in anticipation of his announcement that he was issuing a directive to end the practice of separating parents and children caught crossing the border illegally.

During the ABC broadcast, the banner briefly displayed the chyron "Manafort pleads guilty to 5 charges of manslaughter." While the former Trump campaign manager is in jail after his bail was revoked, he has not pleaded guilty to any crimes and has not been charged with manslaughter.

In a series of tweets, ABC News apologized for the error and promised to get the bottom of why the graphic appeared.

“now they call him a racist Nazi..funny how that works”

Well, Hitler went from the darling hero of the left to horrible right-winger literally overnight, when he broke the non-aggression pact with the USSR, and the American media received their marching orders from Stalin.

An error is misspelling someone’s name.

That is a deliberate act of Libel. One can not type that without an intent to willfully smear.

Manafort should demand all charges dropped and he be released from jail. ABC has tainted the jury pool by showing that banner. Manafort can’t get a fair trial.

As they said their is absolutely no excuse for what happened. Oh course they haven't done a Starbucks like take the afternoon off and we will put all employees through a reorientation program that says don't bash the President and don't promote fake news.

It’s worse than five. Don Lemon accuses Manafort of creating the black hole that swallowed MH370! /s

It wasn't fake news, it was just factually deficient. These things don't happen by accident, they happen because the media only retains bots programmed to think exactly the same as their liberal masters who promote the kind of hateful acts like this one.
