ABC President: Ross report hurts coverage
  By DYLAN BYERS | 7/24/12 2:44 PM EDT


ABC News president Ben Sherwood told staff today that last Friday's incorrect report by Brian Ross detracts from the network's otherwise excellent coverage of the Colarado theater shooting, network sources tell POLITICO.

Sherwood's remarks, made on the network's daily editorial conference call, came the morning after Ross's report was picked up by late night comedians John Stewart and Stephen Colbert of Comedy Central, both of whom used Ross's erroneous suggestion of a Tea Party link to the Colorado theater shooting as fodder for their Monday night routines...................>>>>..................>>>>......................http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2012/07/abc-president-ross-report-hurts-coverage-129940.html


On Monday's conference call, ABC News SVP James Goldston also commended the staff for its work, noted the incorrect report, and said that the network was taking steps to ensure it did not happen again, sources told POLITICO yesterday..................>>>>...................>>>>....................

At least people on the left (Stewart/Colbert) vilified the guy for it.
If it were Fox, they'd be calling it an honest mistake, or that it wasn't meant to be a factual statement.

I've noticed they're curiously silent about Bachman.
