ABC is defending its decision to edit out an apparently erroneous claim by Michelle Obama in its broadcast of the first ladys interview on Good Morning America today, saying it made the changes solely for the sake of time.
As The Washington Examiner reported this morning, the first lady claimed during an interview with Good Morning Americas Robin Roberts that 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton, who was killed in Chicago shortly after performing during the Presidents Inauguration, was shot because some kids had some automatic weapons they didnt need.
In fact, Chicago Police reported Pendleton was shot by a man who opened fire with a handgun before fleeing in a waiting car, according to the Associated Press.

This is how stupid these elites think the folks really are. They think that their audience prefers to be kept in the dark about any facts that might deflate the liberal bubble.
I wish I thought they were wrong.
