C-SPAN's Steve Scully suspended after admitting to lying about Twitter hack
The Hill ^ | 10/15/20 | Joe Concha

C-SPAN suspended political editor Steve Scully indefinitely on Thursday after he confessed to lying about his Twitter account being hacked following an exchange with former White House aide-turned President Trump critic Anthony Scaramucci.

Scully was slated to moderate the second presidential debate between Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden scheduled for Thursday night. The Commission on Presidential Debates canceled the event Friday after the president declined to do the debate virtually after testing positive for COVID-19.

C-SPAN announced last week it was conducting an investigation into the alleged hack.

Scully had come under fire from the president who called him a "never Trumper" during an interview on Fox News. Scully tweeted "@Scaramucci should I respond to Trump" in response. Scaramucci, the former White House communications director who is now a vocal critic of Trump, told Scully to ignore it.

In a statement Thursday, C-SPAN lauded Scully's 30-year track record of "fairness and professionalism" and noted he understood that he "made a serious mistake."

He actually seemed like one I would trust the most. But He got caught! I am wandering about all those journalists who did not. How much lies are they spewing on us!

What is wrong with Scully's tweet to Scaramucci? I don't get it.

He is just another hack in a long line of Fake News hacks.
To think he was chosen to moderate the 2nd debate is an outrage.
Why is the debate commission silent on this?
We all know the answer.

"...C-SPAN lauded Scully's 30-year track record of "fairness and professionalism". Or did he have a 30-year track record of just not getting caught? 🤔

Scaramucci is famous for his vocal anti-Trumpism. For Scully to reach out to him for advice doesn’t look good.

ABC could have exposed the Trayvon trial hoax, and helped unite the country, but they didn’t.
