Brian Ross has a long history of MSU, making stuff up. This article recounts but a few of his excursions into dramatic fiction writing for the sake of ratings. While he may be leading the league in this particular category, this has become modern journalism and is the reason that people are increasingly ignoring these knuckleheads.

So strong was this instinct that it overrode common newsroom sense ....

BS. It wasn't instinct. It was pure libtard partisanship.

His partner in crime, George "Significant" Stephy, is just as guilty.

I hate the liberal mainstream media.

The media have ruled the U.S.A. for a hundred years. And the media have put us in the mess we are in with the ever growing government (socialism) etc.If we had a real media and not what we have which is democrats/marxist political evangelists posing as reporters then we would have the limited government , freedom and prosperity that is aour birthright in the U.S.A instead of the decline and ballooning debt and growing government . it is the media that has been and is the greatest threat and problem.

Nobody calls them on their lies. Most idiots in the U.S. still believe the MSM. the media smeared Palin, etc and people believe the lies like global warming etc.

Even here many posted on and on about the BP oil “disaster” .Even here I couldn't get people to understand what the media was doing with that BP BS. It was no disaster. If the media hadn't lied about that then why aren't there any stories of the “environmental damage” now . The stories stopped almost immediately after the live video showed them shutting down the spill. This is just one example but there are millions.

Perhaps a multi-million dollar lawsuit against him personally and a second one against ABC might get their attention.

Who believes half the crap these talking heads spout anymore?
Once the MSM sold out and went all in for Obama, their days were over with most folks except the Obama supporters.

This was NOT a blunder. This was an intentional act made to plant an idea in the head of John Q. Public.

Then, QUIETLY apologize (not that it will help the lawsuit much), and count on the apology being missed by most.

“I would emphatically say its not a left-right thing. I’ve never discerned in his reporting any ideological movement,” one ABC News source told POLITICO. “It’s the big sensational story that he’s after, and he’ll do the same on either side.”

Spoken like a true liberal journalist and a**hole.

Anymore you can’t get a gerbalist to mention a suspect’s race, or to even say that s/he’s a suspect: s/he’s a “person of interest.”

Here, however, the alphabet press not only names the suspect but provides his political persuasion. It’s just the usual spinach from ABC, but it could be CBS or NBC.

The only way this mistake could have been made is to have gone looking for it.

In other words, ALL they knew about the shooter’s background was his name.

So they must have said to themselves, “Look and see if there was anyone in the Tea Party with that name.”

Ignoring the fact that it’s a very common name, and finding a person with that name in the Tea Party and then concluding that it just HAD TO BE the same guy is the essence of an error based on bias.

It’s completely unforgivable.

Brian Ross is a white man practicing yellow journalism to pink readers for black purposes, making me green with illness. A true rainbow coalition.
