ABC Gets Hoodwinked By Fake Journo

This character was a protege of Brian Ross, you know him, "Mr Exclusive" over there, who has recently had stories on a "terrorist graduation of sorts" in Afghanistan he was invited to and most recently was the procurer of the information that was a supposed bombshell regarding the Washington DC madam that was touted for weeks on the ABC tv teasers but turned out to be just one congressman of note.

My question is this; If these people cannot even vet the backgrounds of their own reporters that fake their entire resume's like this guy did for years, how are we the public supposed to take seriously anything that they do in regards to investigative reporting? Here's a lengthy google search on the tons of stories Brian Ross has presented of late. Here's his bio from ABC.

I'm just a daily blogging Graphic Designer degreed in business that uses more investigative research on my blog than they apparently do when hiring someone of this caliber I would think for a very important and enviable position at a major television network, working for "Scoop Jackson" Ross of all people .

Their headline is misleading as well, as this guy faked his entire resume and almost every story he wrote, not just a interview as the headline implies.

Ex-ABC consultant said to fake interview -

Yahoo! News: "A former ABC News consultant fired last year because he couldn't authenticate academic credentials is at the center of a new dispute over apparently faked interviews with Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Bill Gates and others. The consultant, Alexis Debat, quit the Nixon Center, a Washington think tank, on Wednesday after Obama's representatives claimed an interview with the senator appearing under Debat's byline in the French magazine Politique Internationale never took place. The interview quoted the Democratic presidential candidate as saying the Iraq war was 'a defeat for America.'"

Pelosi, Gates, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg all said they never gave interviews that appeared in the magazine under Debat's byline, ABC News' Web site, the Blotter, reported on Thursday.

Debat acknowledged to The Associated Press on Thursday that he never conducted any of the interviews published under his byline. continued
Amazing. How many others out there are walking around with similar qualifications shaping todays left wing slanted MSM 's reporting? My guess is more than a few if it's this easy to get away with.
