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.
Now they are trying to "un-say" it:
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."
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

How nice of ABC, giving the families 12 hrs to mourn before jumping off a credibility cliff...AGAIN. So we have the Tea Party blamed for Gabby Gifford's shooting, Trayvon Martin's shooting, and now this. But hey, it's FOX NEWS being partisan isn't that right you stupid, pathetic Libs?
Zimmerman: registered Democrat. Gifford's shooter: registered Independent.

Lol. 'Incorrect Tea Party report.'
I think they meant to say: 'We apologize for the blatantly desperate, whorish attempt to link a mass murderer and a rival political organization to push our ridiculous agenda.'
Stupid ABC fucks.

Typical liberal media stunt, almost predictable in its timing. Ross is eligible for the Dan Rather "Foot In Mouth" excellence in news award.

The apology is nice but the damage has been done. Stupid fucking reporters not fact checking their stories, before they make the news.
This liberal prick just tied the Tea Party to a mass murderer. Why in the fuck were they looking at the Tea Party website???? They were trying to find a way to disparage people with conservatives views.
ABC news you should be ashamed of your selves

@Kmanbay Are you sure he didn't fact check his report? I wouldn't be at all surprised if he said it knowing it was a blatant lie. That's how those people are.

So ABC is once again making appologies for their ignorance. I'll say this,they're getting better at making the appologies rather than reporting news.

No they don't but this is understandable. I have been saying this for years. Most liberals do not have a moral foundation. Right and wrong is something relative to them. Time changes right and wrong in their eyes and in many cases time can be calculated with a second hand.

Shameful. This few seconds illustrates the pathetic nature of the "mainstream" media.
We have George Stephanopoulos from the Bill Clinton administration, serving as "Chief Washington Correspondent" of ABC news, host of ABC's "This Week," etc.
An equivalent scenario is Karl Rove holding the same jobs -- not going to happen in a million years.

@mylostsoul
But this isn't jumping the gun.
This was a deliberate attempt to slander an opposing political establishment with blatant LIES.
This wasn't really intended to advance the story (because they knew it wasn't true.) This was propoganda.
