ABC said later in an updated report that Flynn will say Trump asked him to make contact with Russia "initially as a way to work together to fight ISIS in Syria."

How do you quote a confidential source incorrectly?

Don't know ....but I do know that if that is what Trump wanted Flynn to do...its what we want our leaders to do. I still don't see anything that has anything to do with stealing votes from the *****.

Not sure what that means? Who did that?
One of the reasons, former ABC anchor Brian Williams was fired. Claimed he was fired at in a military helicopter covering a story. Never happened. Resurfaced at MSNBC a couple of months ago.

And this is what I don't get about things like this. How many times has ABC, CNN, NYTimes, etc ran a story that they later had to retract or "clarify." Each time the liberals get super excited as witnessed on this board. You would think that they would get pissed at the media for trolling them.

Its just a big game to them. The media lues and they swear to it. They have the nerve to question anyone who calls out their lack of honesty.

They quoted ABCNews yesterday with no other sources.
I read the story, forget where, I thought it was MSNBC that was the original source (I guess I was wrong), but the nature of the information caused me to cast it off until it was confirmed with more credible sources.

I agree that either the desire to be the outlet that breaks the information, or liberal giddiness causes some editors to abandon even basic journalistic principles. They should go back to J-school.

How have we got to this point? Both sides to allow news media to knowingly mislead us? It's dangerous for our country.
You are absolutely right though, misleading press is absolutely dangerous for our country....liberal or conservative

True......especially when it's a 90/10 imbalance. I've been around awhile and I have seen how the media plays an increasing role in shaping public perceptions.

I dont feel bad for the moron who gloated that yesterday was the day he had waited on for a year. I guess he waited all year to giz his jockey shorts over a reporter who lied about a quote. Fun life.

If the guy was suspended for it you know how big the mistake was.
