“People who lost money when the Stock Market went down 350 points based on the False and Dishonest reporting of Brian Ross of @ABC News (he has been suspended), should consider hiring a lawyer and suing ABC for the damages this bad reporting has caused - many millions of dollars!” Trump tweeted.

Can the market loss be blamed on the report? Is there any way to tie it in? If it can be, should ABC be forced to pay?
I'd say if they can tie the loss directly to the false report then ABC should pay every dime.

a reply to: Vasa Croe Well I disagree. FOX has done the same thing in regards to false reports. Maybe not resulting in loss of money in the markets but I am sure I could find evidence of that but I am mobile. If this media accountability was a thing all major MSM would cease to exist.

If you have money in a 401k what legal recourse do you have to sue if this happens? None! This isn't just a matter of fake news causing a financial issue, but also an issue of those who control the money flow.
The MSM has gone full on propaganda mode for entities we have yet to uncover. Look at the NORK's. At least they know who is behind the lies they get fed! The so called Western Societies of the Free World? Not so much......

Holy cow! I actually agree with you on this matter.
The msm is not responsible due to knee jerk reactions of traders. Those traders are at fault for not using due diligence. They basically made the same mistake as ABC...wanting to be 'first' and not verifying before acting.

The media should be accountable and responsible for what it reports.
Perhaps if we held the media to ANY form of accountability, the media might start providing facts.
On the other hand, free expression.
Do we punish media for saying something that isn't true? We, as members, publish information all the time that is unsubstantiated and often proven false.
Should we be held accountable as well?
