On Good Morning America, ABC News' Brian Ross and George Stephanolpoulos suggested that the shooter in the mass shootings early this morning in an Aurora, Colorado was a Tea Party member.
The problem is that Ross has no backing up for this suggestion. Breitbart writes:
How interesting that Ross and ABC News should think to look to the Tea Party website first--and to broadcast politically volatile information without verifying if that "Jim Holmes" is the same as the suspect...Breitbart also notes:
The James Holmes arrested at the Aurora theater was 24 years old... There are many people with the name "James Holmes" in the area, and the James Homes on the Tea Party website could match a James Homes from Aurora, CO who is in his fifties and therefore does not fit the description of the suspect. More evidence that Ross, Stephanolpoulos and ABC rushed to blame the Tea Party without confirmation that the suspect is also the Tea Party member.
The mainstream media attempted to blame the Tea Party for the Tuscon shootings in January 2011.
Condolences to the families who lost loved ones. May there be a quick recovery for the wounded.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they checked to see if he subscribed to HuffPo??
ReplyDeleteI don't watch those, or any, assholes, so I didn't see that. Damn, the tea party gets blamed for every shooting by these people. I'll believe, right off the bat, that it MAY be a tea partier, the moment I see that a bunch of media morons were gunned down in a staff meeting at one of the alphabets or a bunch of statist congress critters were gunned down.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately every propaganda pusher is correct, lie, lie, lie some more and it becomes the truth in the beliefs of the weak minded and the people too lazy to insist on facts, and not just accusations. I'm sorry does not unring the bell of slander.
ReplyDeleteIf the Tea Party is responsible for much of the violence in this country, I think it's likely that George Stephanalpoopos is responsible for a lot of the kid-touching in this country. C'mon George, you are at least a real creep.
ReplyDeleteNothing they say has to be true for it to be believed, no matter how outrageous it is. It's like the movie Inception--they just have to plant the seed of a lie in the mind of the TV-entranced viewer, and it will shape his attitudes unconsciously.
ReplyDeleteYeah this is ridiculous coverage by ABC politicizing it so quickly. What a tragedy. Time to go get my CHL.
ReplyDeleteAnd they wonder why nobody watches anymore... The sooner they are swept into the dustbin of history, the better off we will all be.
