Early Saturday night, ABC suspended chief investigative correspondent Brian Ross for only four weeks without pay for the latest and most egregious error of the journalist’s career, falsely claiming on Friday that candidate Donald Trump had instructed Michael Flynn to make contact with Russian officials.

Senior White House correspondent Cecilia Vega read almost the entire statement about Ross’s “incorrect reporting” while anchoring Saturday’s World News Tonight, but ignored the sentence referring to Ross’s suspension.
