It is now clear that ABC news intentionally misrepresent Holmes’ mother’s comment. About Holmes, she specifically told them she did not know if the shooter was her son.

When asked earlier if she was the mother of a James Holmes she’d replied in the early morning after just being awakened: “you’ve got the right one.” She was referring to herself.

ABC intentionally ignored her comment about not knowing if the shooter was her son in order to give the impression that she had some inner sense at the time that the shooter was her son: “you’ve got the right one.”

That isn’t just misguided. It is intentional misrepresentation.

Wow,I posted my #2 before seeing this:

Maybe I was wrong about Chris Wallace. Maybe he somehow got Jon Stewart to see at least a little of the light.

When I first heard that report I thought, what a strange thing for a mother to say, like she knew all along her son was absolutely capable of mass-murder... and she was going to mention it to someone but it sort of slipped her mind.

The media is scum.

Oh my. I hadn’t heard that.

There are reasons I despise the media. Here’s another reason.
