To: who knows what evil?

I agree...Mr. Holmes should sue for an amount that makes ABC squeal like pigs...Ross and Georgie should be fired.

Yep. And if he is a real Tea Partier he won’t settle for the undisclosed 6 figure sum. He’ll bleed them dry with $400/hr legal bills for the next decade just to make a point.

Next time, maybe the State run liberal media will think twice before slandering a private citizen for political points to advance an agenda.

Because next time it could be me or you.

Meh, it’s always a Tea Party member.....even though time and time again they have been proven wrong.

Oops, not proven wrong, just plain lies. Whenever some psycho goes at it they always seem to jump to the Tea Party....and have been wrong each and every time. But yet, they still do.

Ulst er man Re por t. Read it and weep.

Yes, the spaces were on purpose.

Yep - I agree.

And although there are several Jim Holmes in CO, they chose the one with a teaparty association. Actually I believe they were looking for a teaparty association.

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.

No doubt they would have been MUCH more careful had this guy had connections with obama.

This should remind us to also be very careful who we propose as perps in various situations.

What qualifies Brian Ross to be a reporter?

1. Smug, haughty Jon Cary look on his face.

2. Hatred of anything that goes against the leftist agenda.

The amazing thing is not only how often they do this, shoot from the hip, but how often there is no, “whoops, our bad” that ever registers with the public enough to offset their initial, transparently politicized “scoop”-—to be honest, the police too have done this in the past, but now they don’t need to, they’ve got the media to do it, functioning like Junior G-Men to answer the imagined public “cry for justice”,
Mr. Holmes of the Tea Party should SUE on whatever grounds he can.Offering these empty “scoops” full of nothing whatever except the “possibility” that “this could be the guy”,always makes the media look like fools, but they want us to believe
they’re doing their journalistic “duty”.

Law Prof. Glenn Reynolds: “... If I were the Tea Party Holmes, I’d have my lawyer talking to ABC right now. My terms: Groveling apology to be repeated on at least two national newscasts, plus This Week and all Colorado affiliates. Plus $250K in damages. No apology by tonight, and the demand goes to $5 million. Oh, and guys, be sure to preserve all records, browser histories, etc. for litigation. . . .”

So question
How many “James Holmes” are there in Colorado ...probably many....

So of all the “James Holmes” there are in Colorado

How does ABC decide James Holmes + Tea Party member = must be shooter?

It's called "prejudices"....

Now some prejudices do have some basis in fact...

A KKK, neo Nazi, Black Panther or Islamic Jihadists members do have history of violence...even OWS members have shown a history of violence

But what is the actual historical record of violence Tea Party members?...Not what the media had presented in made for "entertainment stories"...but the true actual historical record of violence by Tea Party members?...

The truth is there is nil record of violence by Tea Party members...so a prejudices with no facts to back it up is willful ignorance and bigotry...

Willful ignorance and bigotry presented repeatedly by the media, both news and entertainment media as truth is the "Big Lie" technique of propaganda

We’re sorry we were chomping at the bit and threw caution to the winds. Law-suit at ten. Details at eleven.

From Glenn Beck...

“Charge one: Chris Davis was brutally killed and murdered he was found facedown in his pool. Brian Ross has been arrested for the killing of Chris Davis.”

“Four of the five suspects arrested made their appearance in court today. Police say Travis Bugbee and Brian Ross lured Davis to the St. Albans swimming pool on March 21.”

IMPORTANT UPDATE: ”An earlier Glenn Beck Program broadcast report did suggest that Brian Holmes of ABC News might be the suspect,” said Chief Investigator Stu Burguiere. “That report was incorrect. The Glenn Beck program and myself, Stu Burguiere, apologize for that mistake and for disseminating information before it was properly vetted.“

“Charge Two: Brian Ross sent explicit photos and text messages to two teenage girls.”

The error + weak apology by ABC... motivated by: a combination of desperation to get rating and sick liberal virus...

I’ll still never get over the incendiary way the media tried to make Palin complicit in the Tucson mass-murder. Within hours, the media’s constantly rotating video loop was of footage of blood on the pavement, Giffords, a photo of the little girl who was killed, and Sarah Palin walking up on stage at a Tea Party rally. Over and over again. It was akin to Soviet or Nazi-era propaganda films and the way visuals were manipulated to tie separate things together, and deliberately arousing intense emotions of hatred.

Anyway, I hope this gent goes ballistic on the media. They are evil scum.

That is just ONE technique of many the liberal mainstream media use to brainwash most of the people. the media has ruled America for a while now and so they are responsible for the growth of government(socialism) and the resulting decline of the U.S.A.

Those aren’t emotional attacks, they are calculated dis-information.

Brian Ross and Stephie should both be fired. They are sleazy.
