Say goodbye to Brian Ross, the hack
Brian Ross out at ABC News months after botched report Donald Trump, Russia tanked stock market

Ross used to be a very good investigative reporter at NBC in the last century, but lost his way and sold out. Shameful.

I wonder if he will he land at MSNBC or CNN?

Yes.




You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

He’s made a habit of “botching reports” the last couple years. Rush pointed out that this is also the guy who rushed to the cameras to tell the world that the Colorado theater shooter was a Tea Party member. He accessed some sort of roll for the Colorado Tea Party, found a guy with a similar name, and went with it. He had to retract that one too.

There’s at least one more...

Hell, they have their itty-bitty minds made up. Stop trying to confuse them with facts. And I am glad at least one of them is gone.

I remember that very well. As soon as the police released the shooter's name, Ross googled it and found the identical name on a Tea Party website. With no further verification he made that connection to a national television audience. He was sanctioned for that, maybe a month or so without pay IIRC, but was allowed to come back to work.

The cynical among us will say that he's just going to do the same kind of things wherever he goes, but he will not. It doesn't matter if the guy no longer has a moral compass or any integrity as a supposed journalist. No, he won't do the same kind of things because his behavior has really cost him, both in terms of his reputation and his employment status.
I'm perfectly fine with him cooling his shit only because he fears the consequences, and nothing to do with integrity. I am perfectly fine with that. Come to think of it- in this instance, I prefer that he stays in line only for fear of the whip.

I don't think he's learned his lesson because I don't think he thinks he did anything wrong.

He'll be back soon enough, spreading more lies and propaganda.

Shock collars works. He's heeled.

If he was again caught at the same thing, and again booted, he'd end up working for a pirate AM station outside of Boisie.

Opinion columnists can still make very good money if they get syndicated. And BR has the name recognition to do it, if he wanted. Of course, he'd have to totally come clean as a partisan hack, but we already know he is one. Don't be surprised if you see him get a column in the NYT editorial section or on Huffington Post.
