When the shtf, the owners/publishers, and editors of this nation's news media should be first on the "List."
Reporters, and pundits second.

Hard to believe an ABC apology is sincere. We are sincerely sorry that we have been caught. We assure our viewers that our propaganda will be more subtle next time.

Leave us not forget this ignominious moment in ABC ‘reportage’.

ABC offers apology for misidentifying the shooter as a tea party member.
ABC News:
Editor’s Note: 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.

He needs to sue the crap out of ABC. The only way those socialist supporting liars will tell the truth is if it costs them too much to continue telling lies.

leads me to think they deliberately made up this mess so they could retract it and thus make more news.Agree. "The jury is instructed to ignore counselor's remark that the plaintiff is a dirty whore who got what she deserved."
