  It’s been a really bad week for the media, with at least three different significant mistakes having to be corrected. It really undermines their position as the Fourth Estate. Brian Ross was suspended from ABC News for a *massive* error on the Trump investigation. Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal misreported a subpoena of Deutche Bank. CNN misreported on Trump Jr. and WikiLeaks. CORRECTION of ABC News Special Report: Flynn prepared to testify that President-elect Donald Trump directed him to make contact with the Russians *during the transition* — initially as a way to work together to fight ISIS in Syria, confidant now says. https://t.co/ewrkVZTu2K pic.twitter.com/URLiHf3uSm 541 words.
