Good! Maybe these Leftists will start behaving.

If what he did wasn’t cause for immediate termination, then it must be impossible to get fired by ABC.

agreed, I could list at least four links of his past false reporting.

An ABC News reporter who erroneously reported a crucial detail following the guilty plea of Michael Flynn has been suspended for a month without pay, the news organization said Saturday.
Brian Ross, a longtime investigative reporter at the network, reported Friday morning during a special report that Flynn had been directed to contact Russian officials by then-candidate Donald Trump during the presidential campaign. When pleading guilty, Flynn admitted to lying about contacts with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. during the presidential transition period, but filings from the office of Special Counsel Robert Mueller did not allege any contacts during the campaign itself, or implicate Mr. Trump directly.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled more than 300 points following Ross' report, which was not matched by other major news organizations.
ABC News issued a "clarification" later Friday walking back the report.

Brian Ross is going to the Fake News Hall of Fame on the first ballot.
This month off will give him ample time to plagiarize his induction speech.

This is all you need to know about their motivation.
They interrupted programming to break a False and Misleading story. Didn't bother to take the time to vet it, just ran with it because it hurt Trump
Yet sat on Clinton and Lewinsky, Mueller firing a FBI agent, Harvey Weinstein, and the list goes on

The only reason ABC suspended him is because they had to do something.

Since the attention span of the low information voter is measured in nanoseconds then we can assume they latched onto the initial erroneous report. Sound bites, bullet points and snippets of info is what folks use now to form their opinions and make decisions about candidates, and whatever you do....don't bother them with detail. Never mind the report was wrong.....it's out
there.
there.

yeah, if they suspend him it is a one hour news cycle. they need to RETRACT on their front page and break into the TV with the retraction and fire him to Dan Ratherville. they won't so a suspension is the best option for them. who will ever believe him again? this is what, times four fake news stories?
they are now CNN.

Oh no, this will be a gift that keeps on giving
1) Reporters will be less likely to pounce on anything anti- Trump
2) Trump now has more legit 'fake news' twitter ammo
