Typical of the media. They shoot from the hip and then say “whoopsie” our bad? Now this poor guy will be harassed by who knows who because of them.

Any one named Holmes that was contacted by the media assuming they were the shooter needs to sue the crap out of that media,apology or not.This crap is out of control especially when the shooter was in custody

Mr. Holmes, may I suggest you say nothing more and contact the most rabid, media-hating lawyer you can find...

and sue the obama out of them. Go for the jugular, they certainly wouldn’t hesitate to do the same to you.

Yet another example of a kneejerk reaction by one of Barry 'RAT toadies in the state run "media".

Instead of issueing a statement Ross should be apologizing on the air every 5 minutes.

You can’t un-ring a bell.

Were I king, I would shut down ABC and launch an IRS investigation into all corporate officers, employees, and advertisers.

An expensive lawsuit has a chance of getting Brian Ross fired. And there’s no denying that ABC has the kind of deep pockets ambulance chasers have wet dreams about. Which is why ABC and Ross both apologized. Hopefully too late for them to avoid paying out a bunch of cash to Holmes.

I agree. When a conservative apologizes for something, it's never good enough, it's never accepted. No amount of apologies are considered sufficient. The person is expected to pay for it with their career. The same should apply here. Take these bastards for every cent they have!

Emotional attacks rather than logical ones....it’s lynch mob politics. It is promoted by liberalism.

Even breitbart seems to think that identifying this guy as an Hispanic is more important than identifying him as an American. The left has won in battle of taking control of our discussions.

I’ve never sued anyone, but I sure do agree with you. The MSM need to be restrained from their libelous behavior.

The apology part: "An earlier ABC News broadcast report suggested that a Jim Holmes of a Colorado Tea Party organization might be the suspect, but that report was incorrect. ABC News and Brian Ross apologize for the mistake, and for disseminating that information before it was properly vetted." ...is a TOTAL LOAD OF CRAP.

While it may be true that they got the information from outside the ABC organization, that doesn't excuse the fact that they friggin tripped over themselves to report it, rather than investigate first. The whole focus of the "apology" is to blame the source rather than their own libtard agenda for making them careless and irresponsible.
