Claim To Fame: ABC News journalist
Why He's The Liberal Scumbag of the Week: for his misleading report on Friday that former national security advisor Michael Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to FBI investigators in special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into possible collusion between the Trump administration and Rissian officials.
The initial report by Ross claimed that Flynn promised "full cooperation to the Mueller team" and that he is prepared to testify that then-candidate Donald Trump "directed him to make contact with the Russians".
However, there was one significant problem with the report, as CNN would later report that an "ABC News spokesperson " said that "World News' will clarify that this should be president-elect Trump, not candidate Trump." Huge difference.
So huge that the stocks finished lower on Friday after the report was made public, not to mention the big outcry from social media heads after the clarification was made.
Today, Ross, who is well-known for his error-prone ways, was suspended by ABC News for his 'serious error'.
