    Sure. And you said I was “punching up” in doing so.

    You write on a number of topics. I’m just curious if there are any where you aren’t punching up yourself.

    Or, maybe it’s not meant as a put down.

    There is no way. It'll be a conspiracy. It'll be fake news. It'll be the Clintons. It will be somebody else's fault.

    Honestly not familiar with the Ross story/source you refer to. Link?

    No, it was meant as a putdown.

    Here’s what I want to know, when the “full review” is complete, are they going to share the findings with the public

    Did Ross misunderstand his source? Did the the source get it wrong? If the soured did get it wrong, was he/she in a position to have gotten it right, and should Ross have been relying on them in the first place?

    ABC News president James Goldston excoriated staff Monday over Brian Ross' major error on a report about former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, and announced that Ross, the network's chief investigative reporter, will no longer cover stories related to President Trump.

    Goldston also told staffers that the network was conducting a "full review" of the error and its aftermath.

    None of your business, really. It's an issue to be addressed internally.

    That's a start. Suspending him for a month without pay doesn't mean much if he returns to the White House beat or anything else related to DC politics these days.

    WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Hoping to put to rest a mystery that has long bedeviled the nation, Donald J. Trump’s personal lawyer, John Dowd, revealed on Monday that it is actually his voice that appears on the notorious “Access Hollywood” tape.

    Speaking to reporters, Dowd said that the so-called locker-room talk attributed to Trump had actually been carefully crafted by the former reality-show host’s legal team and then read aloud by Dowd himself.

    Additionally, Dowd said that comments widely thought to have been made by Trump indicating that he believed that Frederick Douglass was still alive were also Dowd’s handiwork.

    “President Trump was about to say something about whether Frederick Douglass was alive or not, and I stepped in at that moment and said that he was,” Dowd said. “I stand by that statement.”
