ABC News

edit

From 1994 to 2018, Ross was a reporter for ABC News, working on programs such asWorld News with Diane Sawyer,20/20,Good Morning America,Nightline,This Week with George Stephanopoulos,and ABC News Radio.[17]

In 2009, Ross and his investigative unit reported onMohamed Attaand described him as the ringleader of theWorld Trade CenterandPentagonattacks.[18]He also reported onZacarias Moussaoui’s alleged role in the attacks and his questioning by theFederal Bureau of Investigationprior to September 11.[19]

His undercover investigation of nuclear smuggling, which questioned whether American authorities could stop a shipment of radioactive material from entering the country, received theduPont Awardin 2004.[20]

On May 24, 2006, Ross first reported that theJustice Departmentwas investigatingSpeaker of the HouseDennis Hastertfor possible connections to theJack Abramoffcorruption scandal. Both the Justice Department and Dennis Hastert issued denials, but Ross insisted the story was correct.[21]He did say that the investigation might eventually "wash out and be nothing".[22]

On September 6, 2006, Ross reported that Pakistan had decided not to seek the capture ofOsama bin Ladenso long as bin Laden acted "like a peaceful citizen".[23]Pakistan denied the report.[24]The report was based on a telephone interview in which ABC quoted the Pakistani General as saying, "Q. ABC News: If bin Laden or Zawahiri were there, they could stay? A. Gen. Sultan: No one of that kind can stay. If someone is there he will have to surrender, he will have to live like a good citizen, his whereabouts, exit travel would be known to the authorities."[25]

On September 29, 2006, Ross reported thatRep.Mark Foleysent underage male congressional aides sexually explicit internet messages;[26]the ensuing scandal led to Foley's resignation. His 2006 investigation into the Congressional page scandal involving Foley resulted in his fifthPeabody Awardfor his series of reports: “Conduct Unbecoming”. That series also garnered Ross anEmmy Award,[27]a Peabody Award,[28]aUSC Annenberg Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Television Political Journalism,[29]anInvestigative Reporters and EditorsAward,[30]the 2007 National Headliner Award for Television Affiliated Online Journalism,[31]and theOnline News AssociationJournalism Award.[32]

Ross received the 2007Edward R. Murrow Awardfor investigative reporting for a two-part "20/20" undercover investigation into retail pharmacy errors, focusing on large drugstore chains, includingCVSandWalgreens.[33]He also received a 2007 Business Emmy for his work in exposing conflicts of interest of someWest Virginia State Supreme Courtjustices.[34]

When theMadoff investment scandalbroke in December 2008, Ross coveredBernard Madoff,his family and associates and reported on how the scam had been perpetrated over the years. His reporting on the subject led to his first book,The Madoff Chronicles: Inside the Secret World of Bernie and Ruth,published in 2009.[35]

In November 2009, Ross co-wrote an article titled "Officials: Army Told of Hasan's Contacts with al Qaeda", which claimed thatFort Hood shooterNidal Hasanhad made attempts to "make contact with people associated with al Qaeda".[36][37]He made the same claims onGood Morning America.[38]Other reporters said that Nidal's contact was limited to emails to his formerimam,Anwar al-Awlaki,who had also been the imam of two of the September 11 terrorists.[39]

In 2010, Ross received his seventh duPont-Columbia Award for the “20/20” investigation “The Coach’s Secret”, which exposed a scandal in youth swimming.[40]This report also earned him a 2011 CINE Golden Eagle Award.[41]Ross's investigation, “Taking on Toyota”, which prompted one of the largest automobile recalls in history, was awarded the Edward R. Murrow Award from theRadio Television Digital News Associationin 2011.[42]This report was publicly disputed by Toyota, which demonstrated that the "Toyota Death Ride" was largely fabricated by experts that were working for several trial lawyers with litigation pending against Toyota.

On July 19, 2011, according to thepresidential campaignofMichele Bachmann,when attempting to question Bachmann about her migraines, Ross "rushed toward" Bachmann and her staff and "disregarded repeated requests to stay back".[43]According toMichael Crowley,a reporter forTimewho witnessed the resulting intervention by Bachmann staffers, the staffers "pounced on [Ross], grabbing and pushing him multiple times with what looked [...] like unusual force. In fact, [Crowley had] never seen a reporter treated so roughly at a campaign event, especially not a presidential one." Ross said he'd only been treated like that before "mostly byMafiapeople. "[44][45]Ross appeared onThe Viewand various media outlets to discuss the incident.[46][47][48][49]The media also underscored 'concerns' regarding Bachmann's health.[50]

Over a 10-month period in 2011, Ross and Anna Schecter reported on the murder of a 24-year-oldPeace Corpsvolunteer inWest Africa.Ross and Schecter received the 2011George Polk Awardfor Television Reporting for this series of reports.[51][52]

In 2012, Ross earned his sixth George Polk Award,[53]sixthPeabody Award[54]and second Emmy Award,[55][citation needed]including best investigation in a news magazine story for his “20/20” investigation “Peace Corps: A Trust Betrayed”, which exposed the cover-up of sexual abuse of Peace Corps volunteers and led to Congressional hearings and calls for new legislation.[56]He was also the recipient of a 2012 Gracie Award for the report.[57]

In 2013, Ross won theHillman Prizeand CINE Golden Eagle Award for his reportTragedy in Bangladesh[58][59]and "Outstanding Investigative Program or Feature" at the 2013Gracie AwardsforUndercover Granny: Medicare Fraud.[60]

Ross and his lead producer, Rhonda Schwartz, were suspended in the wake of his misreporting with regard to the Michael Flynn affair. They were transferred toLincoln Square Productionsupon their return. However, on July 2, 2018, ABC announced Ross and Schwartz were leaving the network.[61][62]

Law & Crime

edit

In August 2018, Ross and his producer, Rhonda Scnwartz, was hired at theLaw & Crimenetwork which “covers trials and crime 24/7,” as a lead investigative reporter and also to host his own weekly show called “Brian Ross Investigates”.[63]

Controversies

edit

In October 2001, Ross twice falsely linked Iraq to theanthrax attacksin the United States. Both reports, based on anonymous "high level" sources, were denied by the George W. Bush administration.[64]In November 2001, Ross "updated" the story, acknowledging that original reports ofbentonitein the anthrax samples were incorrect.[65]Glenn Greenwaldseverely criticized Ross for this reporting, opining that Ross unwittingly helped build support for the U.S. invasion of Iraq as a result of his high-profile report.[66][67]Dan Froomkinasked in an August 5, 2008 column, inThe Washington Post:"So who told ABC the powder looked Iraqi?"[68]The New York Sunreported that Ross was the sixth journalist ordered by a federal judge to reveal his sources for federal anthrax attack stories.[69]

On January 14, 2004, a report by Ross, Chris Vlasto, and Rhonda Schwartz on the eve of the Iowa caucus linked presidential candidateHoward Deanto a trooper who worked for him when he was Vermont's governor and who had “‘engaged in acts of domestic violence’”.[70]ABC News was severely criticized by theColumbia Journalism Reviewfor the report because the report presented no evidence to show that Dean was aware of the abuse when he wrote a character reference for the employee in a custody dispute. There was also evidence to suggest that Dean was unaware of the abuse at that time. The Columbia Journalism described the story as "little more than a smear."[71]

In 2006, Ross broadcast what he described as a "big scoop" asserting that an al-Qaeda terrorist with links to Bin Laden had been arrested in Pakistan. But the story was untrue. Matiur Rehman, the al-Qaeda explosives expert, was still a fugitive. The Pakistani government called the story "fictitious." ABC retracted the story.[72]

Ross and the ABC News Investigative Team were awarded the 2011 National Edward R. Murrow Award for “Video Continuing Coverage” for their exclusive investigation, “Taking On Toyota”, that revealed how the car company for years ignored complaints from hundreds of its owners about cars suddenly accelerating out of control. As a result, Toyota's market value and sales were driven down. However, Ross, as the correspondent, it was later disclosed, had staged the famous “death ride” in a Toyota set up to accelerate without driver input. Ross’ report featured a doctored shot of a tachometer suddenly racing to 6,000 rpm.[6][7][8][9]

During coverage of the2012 Aurora, Colorado shooting,Ross suggested on the air a connection between a member of a ColoradoTea Partygroup and the shooting, based on the gunman's name, without any confirmed evidence. Describing Ross as one of the most controversial reporters in television journalism,Dylan Byersreported that Ross had come "under attack again" for his reporting.[73][11][74]Conservative websitePJ Mediacalled for his firing.[75]Ross and ABC News PresidentBen Sherwoodapologized for the comment.[11][76]

On December 2, 2017, Ross was given a four-week suspension without pay after erroneously stating during a special report thatMichael Flynnwas preparing to testify thatDonald Trumphad directed him to make contact with Russian officials during his presidential campaign.

Ross issued a clarification onWorld News Tonightlater that same day, explaining that Flynn had not been told to make contact with Russian officials until after the election, and that Trump had only asked Flynn and other advisors to "find ways to repair relations with Russia" during his campaign. Ross issued a clarification onWorld News Tonightlater that same day, explaining that Flynn had not been told to make contact with Russian officials until after the election, and that Trump had only asked Flynn and other advisors to "find ways to repair relations with Russia."

"During a live Special Report, ABC News reported that a confidant of Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said Flynn was prepared to testify that then-candidate Donald Trump instructed him to contact Russian officials during the campaign," the network's correction stated. "That source later clarified that during the campaign, Trump assigned Flynn and a small circle of other senior advisers to find ways to repair relations with Russia and other hot spots."

The incorrect report was criticized by conservative commentators, and theDow Jones Industrial Averagefell by 350 points after the report.[77][78][79][80]

In early 2018, after Ross served a four-week unpaid suspension, he returned as a chief investigative correspondent, but with a separate unit of ABC, Lincoln Square Productions.[81]However, in July, ABC announced Ross was leaving the network.[61]
