    Do you seriously think they would expect to get away with such a report. Obviously it was a mistake. Get a grip!!! Discover reality for a change.

    As unhinged as the left has become I wouldn’t doubt someone did it on purpose.

    "Manafort pleads guilty to 5 counts of manslaughter" isn't a typo.

    There you go again. Always giving the left-wing media the benefit of the doubt.

    Poor dems, they are so desperate they don't care what errors they make, just so some of their low information voters read it. They have since apologized. ABC's mea culpa...keep it up boys.

    ABC News issued an apology on Wednesday after erroneously posting a graphic during a special report stating that former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort had pleaded "guilty to 5 charges of manslaughter."

    "We regret and apologize for the false lower third graphic that aired during our special report. We are investigating how incorrect information was in our system and how and why it was allowed to air," ABC News said in a statement Wednesday afternoon.

    "We apologize to our viewers and to Mr. Manafort. There simply is no excuse for this sort of mistake."

    The graphic, known as a chyron that serves as a headline for a story on the screen, was shown during a special report covering President Trump's decision to sign an executive order aimed at ending his administration's controversial practice of separating children from their parents who have crossed the U.S. southern border illegally.



    The error was first flagged by media reporter Alex Griswold of the Washington Free Beacon.

    "ABC News' banner briefly reported this afternoon that Paul Manafort pleaded guilty to killing five people. (He has not)," Griswold wrote.

    One person makes or mistake or thinks they’re funny and now it’s “the left”
    Apparently somebody I don’t know is acting on my behalf now

    If the Deep State really wanted to zap Manafort, the crawl would have said "Manafort pleads guilty to 5 charges of sex with a garden gnome"
