>Well, it wasn't such a good morning on Twitter for ABC News and Good Morning America, as their respective Twitter accounts were hacked Thursday, resulting in the network unwittingly broadcasting some fake news.

>The tweets, which had some profanity and claimed that rapper Tyler the Creator had died, also claimed to be from Russian hackers who love President Trump.

>The tweets were quickly deleted and ABC responded that the @ABC News, @GMA and @GMAPopNews Twitter accounts "were hacked early this morning." A later tweet added: "We resolved the issue quickly & errant tweets were deleted quickly."
