Brian Ross, Who Aired Erroneous Trump Report, to Leave ABC News

Chico I remember you were all over ABC News when the Ross report came out as false (and rightfully so, anything should always be fact-checked before being put out as news and not opinion).

So now that Ross is leaving ABC News do you think ABC deserves credit for this? Obviously he wasn't welcome back in any role like the one he used to fill. Ignore all the "sad day" talk and nonsense, obv. it's just lip service to a guy who spent 20 years there. I guess the question comes down to, is ABC's rep forever tarnished in your eyes because the one journalist who screwed up bigly?

I don’t get any thrills from someone losing a job....none. But I certainly think it would be awesome if the mainstream media would present the news and the administration strategy in a manor that was more meaningful way...one that gives both sides of the debate. The hypocrisy of the media to give the pass on obama policies that were inherently harmful and negligent...and turn around and attack every single idea of this administration.

I’m really surprised some can’t simply compare and contrast...it’s now that complex. And the majority of the country distrust the mainstream media or at least holds a negative opinion of it. So it’s not like my position is strange or without merit.

LOL, BS, major BS Chico!

It is clear in your post it's not the media you don't like Obama's policies ,that's fine it's America we can disagree on policies but to blame it on the Media is BS . I don't like the trump policies but I am not blaming the media any trouble trump gets into he deserves all the scrutiny he can get becuase the media sure as hell did it to Obama.

The media has set this election up perfectly for the Democrats. They have been spinning the Dems Blue wave theory which is really a self fulfilling prophecy. This election cycle, the Dems have 26 seats up for reelection, and of that 18 will stay Democratic, so on election day, even if the Republicans gain seats (which is quite possible) the story across the media will be how the wave washed over the country. Even if the Republicans win all their seats that are up for grabs and all the seats that are considered up for grabs they would win less then 50% of the open seats.

The msm media will be slobbering over the Democratic victories, even as the Republicans gain seats in the Senate. Then once it's over they will be crying about how the Dems couldn't win the Senate back.

Here's hoping the Senate goes 56-44 Republicans and Chucky loses his lockstep minority.

I agree that the odds are stacked against the Dems here. What's interesting to me is the slant Mitch and his cohorts are going to put out there to their base. Even if no Dems mentioned impeachment whatsoever, I fully expect the right to run on "if you don't vote, the Dems will move forward with impeachment." Combine that with having Trump in office and digging in the more we lefties complain and I fully expect the Dems to lose ground.

You know I took the high road about the Ali wakins story but the New York time is keeping her on staff...which is amazing...

Mooby and g1 take the time to google and read her story on how she whored her way into the New York Times job and how they hired her knowing she was fucking her source. That’s their ethics when it comes to journalism. This is on the heels to the revelations their White House reporter who sexually harassed women in the work place who i believe still has a job there.

To bad you aren't this upset about your president sexually abusing women and paying porn stars off and then lying about it. Hypocrite.

Also this. Unless you want to have a fair conversation about the lack of morals and ethics coming from the top down it's a bit hypocritical to act like this is a one-sided conversation.

I just did a quick Google search and have a minimal understanding of what happened, but if you're going to make some claims that they knew she was screwing Wolfe and still hired her I need you to back that up with the proof you have. Sounds like she built her career off Wolfe and once the Times found out they were pissed since it's gonna be another blemish on them for hiring her.

This was a CNN opinion piece that had a link on the front page. If you take out the last paragraph, it a pretty positive piece about Trump's presidency. The last paragraph :

Trump is not the President for all Americans, but he is finally redefining the country along lines approved of by those Americans who lent him their votes in 2016.

is harsh, because clearly it's accurate, I don't think G1 or Punch consider him their president, and certainly lots of liberals feel that way too.

I think a lot of conservatives felt that way about Pres. Obama.

Maybe 2020 will bring a consensus presidency back in vogue. I hope so.
