Laura Ingraham Slams ABC’s Brian Ross For ‘Bogus’ and 'Shoddy' Hastert Report


As MRC’s Brent Baker pointed out Thursday, there appear to be some serious holes in a story reported by ABC’s Brian Ross on Wednesday’s “World News Tonight.” For those with short memory spans, Ross alleged that House Speaker Dennis Hastert is involved in a congressional bribery investigation. Though this has been fervently denied by the justice department, as well as Hastert's office which is demanding a retraction, ABC is standing by its report.

Well, radio host Laura Ingraham (hat tip to Expose the Left with audio link to follow) reported on Thursday that she received an e-mail message from somebody high up in ABC claiming that Ross’s report was “totally bogus” and “reporters in the press gallery were laughing out loud as the story aired on ABC last night.” Ingraham declared: “This is an example of an agenda driven story without fact-checking, and with shoddy sourcing.”

Just tell me why all made up stories, all storeis that end up being wrong from TV, and the weekly mis-stories from the NYT always involve Republicans...how is it that they never get stories wrong about Democrats???
Interesting to say the least...

Why the all the made up stories? It's an election year and the liberal new biz is desperate to remain relevant.

Perhaps Ross should check in with Jason Leopold and TruthOut for the cliff notes on how to fabricate a story.

I guess they need inside sources to hand feed them hand picked stories like a pigeon.

Dude, you obviously were not conscious from 1992 to 2000 if you think that all made up stories are about Republics only.

What a joke!

There is no proof that Clinton raped anyone.

Ken Starr included EVERYTHING that happened sexually between Clinton and Monica. I read the report.

They did not fuck.
