I highly recommend that ABC be sued by flynn for slander and lible in the 100s of millions!!!!

Although the Market was pretty much unaffected from the opening to the close, I would think ABC would be liable to a Class Action lawsuit on behalf of anyone who happened to put a 'sell' order in at the time Ross dropped his turd on the Market. His comment would have needlessly cost them a chunk of cash (and emotional distress).

So what if Trump had asked him to “reach out”? We are not at war with Russia. There would be a problem only if the conversation was part of a conspiracy.

Goldston also told staffers that the network was conducting a "full review" of the error and its aftermath.

I was there Goldston, so just give me the Christmas month off too.........Happy Holidays!

Brian Ross is like Harvey Weinstein in his assault on Conservatives and the truth. Journalistic harrasment is what it is, and they are so used to no one fighting back, they don’t know what to do. A week in Journal rehab ought to help Brian. The heads of the organizations are just like those protecting the harrasers too. They knew.

“Why hasn’t Ross been fired?”

As she’s updated the entire news group.

Ross and his editors need to be fired. Ross didn’t make a mistake, HE LIED, and this is not the first time he’s done something like this.

If your source burns you, you burn your source. If Ross wasn’t part of the conspiracy, he’d name the ‘source’ that lied to him.

That ias a serious proposal. I understand a class of investors was dammaged. The market fell on a lie inflicted with intent and Billions may have been lost depending on timing. I assure you that a class is being assembled as we speak.

This is what happens when you encourage your staff to be partisan.

CNN is given the audio to allow ABC to virtue-signal. You mean this doesn’t make you all warm and fuzzy about this unfortunate incident?

Exactly.
And without disciplining editors and management this will continue.

Who made profitable trades on the cusp of that announcement?

You think he should be fired? That’s so harsh. I think that being handed a 4-week vacation over the Christmas holidays is punishment enough. {s}
