I'm told that ABC News will soon remove the initial tweet and issue another correction -- this time on Twitter.

A good reminder here on why it is best to get two sources when reporting -- particularly when it is a bombshell report like this.

I knew not to trust Brian Ross. How does he even have a job?

Dear lord. This is a rather crucial fact to botch.

It’s Brian “this is probably a tea party guy” Ross, what did you expect? Journalistic integrity

And of course, the original tweet will continue to be retweeted, while the correction will get little or no notice.

Original already deleted

At the time I tweeted, it was still up. So for several hours after the correction was made. Not good enough. It should have been pulled down right away, and the correction posted.

They do it on purpose. Yes. They are that corrupt & crooked.

@BrianRoss always looking for the sensational headlines to make himself important. Remember Colorado shooter he implied was a Tea Party member? He's a liar.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Our POS media does this on purpose. Hype up unhinged democrats then issue a correction nobody see's.
-
Every damn time

So, it’s the fact that they called him “candidate” and not “president elect” that upsets you? It’s not the PRIVATE citizens making deals with a hostile foreign entity to lift and/or change sanctions imposed by the current POTUS that sticks out? Idiots.

He wasnt a private citizen. He was part of the transition team.
