ADIOS! Brian Ross QUITTING ABC News after fake news Flynn reporting!

Welp, it looks like Brian Ross is tired of suffering from his fake news reporting about Michael Flynn and has decided to leave ABC News:

PAGE SIX – ABC News’ Brian Ross — who was suspended last year as chief investigative correspondent for a faulty report on Michael Flynn — is leaving the network, Page Six has exclusively learned.

ABC suspended Ross last December for a month without pay for a botched report on ousted White House national security adviser Flynn that reported President Trump directed Flynn to make contact with Russian officials. The mistake even sent stocks tumbling, and ABC issued an apology saying: “We deeply regret and apologize for the serious error.”

We hear that Ross on Monday announced he’s leaving the network. His longtime executive producer Rhonda Schwartz is also exiting. “The time has come to say good-bye,” said the duo in a letter to staff with an announcement by ABC News president James Goldston.

“After a great run of 24 years, we have decided to pack up and move on from ABC News, an organization that has meant so much to us. We leave with enormous gratitude for all those who supported us and helped build the industry’s most robust and honored investigative unit.” They added: “While we are signing off from ABC News, we are hardly leaving investigative journalism. There is much more to do.”

When Ross returned from his suspension, he kept the same title, but moved to another unit of ABC, Lincoln Square Productions, with offices blocks from the news division, to work on “long-term projects,” plus “20/20” and “Nightline.”

Yeah he wants to go work somewhere else where he can get back into the limelight. But given all of his fake news reporting over the years, which also includes that infamous tea party flub back in 2012, it might not be that easy as his reputation precedes him.

Who knows, maybe he’ll get a job on MSNBC. Isn’t that where all the crappy anchors and reporters end up?
