Brian Ross Desperate to Help Obama Blames Tea Party for Mass Shooting.
ABC News has intentionally mistakenly suggested that James Holmes — the suspect in the shooting in Aurora, Colorado — may have a connection to the Tea Party. Once again ABC news proves they are not fit to be journalists. Their left wing bias is so obvious that American’s should immediately boycott this criminal news organization and they should be charged with Journalistic Malpractice.
Just like they doctored the Trayvon Martin tape in order to demonize George Zimmerman, a so-called “white Hispanic” in order to try and intentionally paint Zimmerman as a racists, they have once again attempted to attack the good people of the tea Party.
ABC’s sub-standard journalist, Brian Ross reported that there is “a Jim Holmes of Aurora, Colorado, page on the Colorado Tea party site… talking about him joining the Tea Party last year.”
ABC News Video Accusing Tea Party of Movie Shooting
ABC News is the only network or cable news channel foolish enough to make the preposterous claim that James Holmes is connected with the Tea Party patriots. According to a survey of the TV Eyes database though they did not verify that the two individuals were one and the same. (This is the Tea Party Patriots page on which Ross based his report.)
The report has already set off alarm bells on the right. At Brietbart.com, the conservative news site, Joel Pollak has accused ABC News of “scapegoating.”
I have reached out to ABC News for comment on its report, and will update here if and when I hear back.
UPDATE: ABC News apologizes for ‘incorrect’ Tea party report:
ABC News and Brian Ross are apologizing for an “incorrect” report that James Holmes, the suspect in the Colorado theater shooting, may have had connections to the Tea Party.
In a similar statement released minutes earlier, ABC News said the report was “incorrect” but did not include the apology. “Several other local residents with similar names were also contacted via social media by members of the public who mistook them for the suspect,” the initial statement read.
