The mere possibility that a foreign power, and a historic adversary at that, could have possibly interfered with our election process is bad for our democracy.
Maybe if the media would stop bungling their Russian collusion stories more people would give their reporting some credibility. The media doesn't like Trump and they always seem to be in a rush to crucify him....and they fuck up.
Quote:Brian Ross, the chief investigative correspondent for ABC News, has been suspended for four weeks without pay after incorrectly reporting that Michael T. Flynn, the former national security adviser, would testify that President Trump had directed him to make contact with Russian officials while Mr. Trump was still a candidate, the network announced on Saturday.
Mr. Trump directed Mr. Flynn to make contact after the election, as president-elect, the network said.
ABC initially issued a clarification after Mr. Ross made the statement during a live broadcast on Friday but later called it a correction.
“We deeply regret and apologize for the serious error we made yesterday,” ABC said in a on Saturday. “The reporting conveyed by Brian Ross during the special report had not been fully vetted through our editorial standards process.”

Quote:CNN on Friday corrected an erroneous report that Donald Trump Jr. had received advance notice from the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks about a trove of hacked documents that it planned to release during last year’s presidential campaign.
In fact, the email to Mr. Trump was sent a day after the documents, stolen from the Democratic National Committee, were made available to the general public. The correction undercut the main thrust of CNN’s story, which had been seized on by critics of President Trump as evidence of coordination between WikiLeaks and the Trump campaign.
It was also yet another prominent reporting error at a time when news organizations are confronting a skeptical public, and a president who delights in attacking the media as “fake news.”

Quote:Three journalists from CNN’s investigative unit are leaving the network after the retraction of their June 22 story connecting an ally of President Trump to a Russian investment fund.
The story, citing an anonymous source, said Senate investigators were examining a meeting between Wall Street financier Anthony Scaramucci and an executive for the Russian Direct Investment Fund. The $10-billion fund makes direct investments in Russian companies.
Scaramucci, who founded hedge fund specialist SkyBridge Capital, served on Trump's transition team.
The retracted story appeared on CNN's website and did not air on television.
