[See NewsBusters for more.] Talk about fake news. During a live break in on Wednesday to cover Donald Trump’s latest comments on immigration, a network graphic falsely reported that former Trump aide Paul Manafort was guilty of killing five people. As Trump spoke, the ABC chyron claimed: “Manafort Pleads Guilty to 5 Charges of Manslaughter.” In case you were wondering, that did not happen. After the bizarre assertion, the ABC PR Twitter page quickly issued a statement.
