ABC's Brian Ross Links Colordado Shooter To Tea Party
 Part of channel(s): Denver cinema shooting (current event)

The Jim Jones of the TEA Party has no connection with the shooter that was arrested...this is just pure propaganda. I hope Jim Jones sues the crap out of Ross, Snufulufagus and ABC.

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.

"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 said in a statement. "ABC News and Brian Ross apologize for the mistake, and for disseminating that information before it was properly vetted."
