ABC News Does The Unimaginable To The Commander Of Fallen Marines
ABC News has just done the unimaginable to the commander of the Marines that perished in Kabul.
What the mainstream media company did was just despicable, they profited off Marine Captain Geoff Ball who was mourning the loss of his Marines.
After the deadly attack on the airport Cpt. Ball wrote a very touching Facebook post about his Marines:
Nine of my Marines and Sailors gave their lives so that others may live, and almost 20 other members of the company were wounded by their side. Up until that moment, I did not believe I could ever be more proud of their efforts, by the way they handled the surging crowds and chaos all week, but they proved me wrong. [….]
There is no greater honor for a Marine to be called to save Americans. To be the last on deck as those who need our help are pulled to safety. To lay down our lives for others. That is what my Marines did. They will always be my heroes.
ABC News thought the piece was so touching that they stole it, used Captain Ball’s name, and published it as an op-ed by him, titled “My Fallen Marines Will Always Be My Heroes: Opinion.” The network even created an “author” profile for him on the website all without his permission.

Ball wrote this in a Facebook post and was not contacted by ABC about putting his name on a byline, he tells me. They even created an author profile for him. pic.twitter.com/56TVnIzA4J

After everything Ball has had to deal with ABC News steals his words and profits off them. ABC News has deleted the post however, they have not released a comment explaining their actions.
