Brian Ross is leaving ABC after botched Michael Flynn report
Page 6 ^ | 2 JUN 18 | By Mara Siegler

ABC News’ Brian Ross — who was suspended last year as chief investigative correspondent for a faulty report on Michael Flynn — is leaving the network, Page Six has exclusively learned.

ABC suspended Ross last December for a month without pay for a botched report on ousted White House national security adviser Flynn that reported President Trump directed Flynn to make contact with Russian officials. The mistake even sent stocks tumbling, and ABC issued an apology saying: “We deeply regret and apologize for the serious error.”

Brian Ross should have been fired a long time ago. Yes, he’s an idiot.

No kidding. I can’t remember if he won a presidential fake news award, but if he didn’t, he should have.

Try to redeem yourself, Brian, and write a tell all book about the bias, hate, incestuous political relationships and incompetence @ ABC “News”

He could teach creative writing.

His magnum opus was telling the world that the theater shooter in Aurora was a Tea Party member.

I can picture his first novel.

“It was a dark and stormy night, because Republicans were polluting the atmosphere, causing global warming...”

But he’s so brave. A bunch of deplorables kept saying “Go home, Jim!” and he...and he...lump in throat...didn’t go home.

There are rumors going around Twitter that Flynn might get his case thrown out (overturning his guilty plea) as soon as later this week. A judge is getting angry at the fact that Mueller keeps delaying sentencing so I think it's put up or shut up time.

If so, then that ties in nicely with Brian Ross making his exit. It would be embarrassing for the network if Flynn was cleared and they still had Ross on staff.

#4. After Ross had “a shoe surgically removed from his ass”, he then headed into brain surgery for damage caused by that shoe.

Shoe in, shoe out. Ross out. Betsy says “He’s not a relative of mine, thank God”.

#12. Re “When is Acost going to get fired?”

When they can find a crane and winch large enough to get that Size 1000 shoe out of his ass and brain.

I think an appropriate “retirement” gift would be a gold plated watch that is guaranteed to always be incorrect.

“While Rhonda Schwartz and I are signing off from ABC News, we are hardly leaving investigative journalism. “

I doubt he meant that the way I read it.
