ABC News reeling after anti-Trump 'practice' headline creates humiliating error; was hostile staffer to blame?


So it could have been anybody at ABC.

This happens periodically when a “joke” headline never intended to be broadcast accidentally makes it onto the air. However, it’s always a malicious joke about republicans or conservatives, never the left. Not a single time.

Beleaguered ABC News was reeling Thursday morning after having to correct its latest anti-Trump error -- an on-screen caption Wednesday afternoon that falsely stated that Paul Manafort, Donald Trump's ex-campaign chief, pleaded guilty to five charges of manslaughter.

ABC quickly apologized for the error – saying there “is no excuse” -- and an ABC spokesperson said the network is still “investigating” what went wrong. But ABC News sources tell Fox News that the false report was a “practice chyron” that had likely been maliciously written by a hostile ABC News employee (a chyron is a TV news term for words that appear on the lower third of the screen).

Whatever happened to, "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog?"

The accident, if accident it was, reveals the biased minds of ABC employees.
