THERE IS NO JOY IN MUDVILLE

Have you ever seen anyone in the media so happy reporting a story damaging to a sitting president and to the United States of America? When Joy Behar read the (fake) news story released by Brian Ross of ABC, she was positively giddy with joy and so was her moronic studio audience which erupted in cheers. She announced that 'Christmas had come early.'  

Sorry Joy, Santa giveth, and Santa taketh away.

Never mind, that the story, if true, might indeed have been explosive. Certainly, stock traders thought so, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average immediately dropped 350 points. One snag crept through, the story was completely false. The (fake) story as initially reported claimed that General Flynn had agreed to cooperate with Special Counsel Robert Mueller and testify that presidential candidate Donald Trump had ordered him to contact the Russians. There it was. the glorious smoking gun. The proof that the ridiculous story told and re-told by every moron in America was true. One minor change to the story, deflated the importance of the story. What General Flynn did agree to do was cooperate with Special Counsel Robert Mueller and testify that president-elect Donald Trump had ordered him to contact the Russians. You see the conundrum here, yes? It is nearly impossible to collude with The Russians to get oneself elected AFTER the election. Sorry, Joy Behar, you lefty loon, you hateful despicable, might I say, deplorable dolt. Christmas did not come come early. Although one might argue that purveyors of truth might have gotten an early Christmas gift, as disgraceful Brain Ross has been suspended without pay for four weeks. Yep, there is no joy in mudville, mighty Brian Ross has struck out.

Enjoy this photo of Brian Ross, as you won't be seeing him on TV for the next month. Apparently fake news isn't quite as acceptable these days as it used to be. After all, when a fake news story is reported, we have a president who has the guts to point it out in an immediate tweet.  

It was really kinda sad to see all those happy people all across our great nation enjoying one of the most happiest days of their lives - only to have that joy swept away once it was evident that their joy was emanating from yet another fake news story. 

I have never shaved my head. Even this look, represents my trip to the barber where I requested my 'hair' be cut to the length of 1/2 mm. I suppose this would be what a shaved head would look like soon after a shaving ones head. Basically, it's five o'clock shadow on ones scalp.

ABC News suspends Brian Ross for 4 weeks over erroneous Flynn story

by Oliver Darcy   @oliverdarcyDecember 2, 2017: 9:32 PM ET. 

ABC News announced Saturday that it has suspended investigative reporter Brian Ross for four weeks without pay after Ross was forced to correct a bombshell on-air report about Michael Flynn.
"We deeply regret and apologize for the serious error we made yesterday. The reporting conveyed by Brian Ross during the special report had not been fully vetted through our editorial standards process," ABC said in a statement. "As a result of our continued reporting over the next several hours ultimately we determined the information was wrong and we corrected the mistake on air and online." "It is vital we get the story right and retain the trust we have built with our audience -- these are our core principles," the statement added. "We fell far short of that yesterday." Citing a single anonymous source, Ross told viewers during an ABC special report on Friday morning that Flynn was prepared to testify that Donald Trump, as a candidate for president, told him to contact Russians. During Friday's edition of "World News Tonight," Ross walked back his report, telling viewers that the source who had provided the initial information for his story later told him that it was as president-elect, not as a candidate, that Trump asked Flynn to contact Russians..
An ABC News tweet about the report was retweeted about 25,000 times before being deleted. Ross' incorrect report prompted a dramatic reaction in the financial markets, and the Dow fell more than 350 points. Stocks largely recovered later in the day. CNN had initially reached out to ABC News early Friday afternoon to ask why Ross' initial reporting was not included in the network's online story about Flynn pleading guilty for lying to the FBI. Hours later, a spokesperson told CNN a correction was forthcoming. But ABC News initially attempted to downplay the mistake, referring to its correction as a "clarification" on "World News Tonight" and then online. After a barrage of criticism, the network changed the language online from "clarification" to "correction." Saturday evening's statement further ramped up the language; the network now calls it a "serious error." Ross commented later Saturday night. "My job is to hold people accountable and that's why I agree with being held accountable myself," he tweeted.Shortly after that, President Trump weighed in, tweeting his "congratulations" to ABC News for suspending Ross. Multiple ABC News employees, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they weren't publicly authorized to discuss the matter, told CNNMoney on Saturday there was internal embarrassment over the blunder. "It's a major embarrassment," one ABC News employee said. "It makes me cringe," echoed another. "This is not what any networks needs when people are so quick to say 'fake news' to you. It makes me sick to my stomach." This is not the first high-profile mistake by Ross. In a 2012 piece for which he apologized, he suggested that the Aurora shooter may have had a connection to the Tea Party.

Hey Joy, That Donald Trump guy is a real oaf ain't he? Oh wait, sorry, that  isn't Donald Trump, that's the Honorable Senator Al Franken who you would surely vote for President if you had the opportunity.
