UPDATE – ABC Corrects Report: ABC News’ Brian Ross Links Colorado Shooter To Local Tea Party | Mediaite

Brian Ross, who alleged that there may be a link between the alleged Colorado shooter and the Tea Party.

Let's blame the Tea Party for the sad state of affairs in America today.  From the tragic shooting of Former Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) and some of her top aides and other people on January 8, 2011, to the shooting at a theater in Aurora, Colorado at midnight this past Friday.  What other group to blame but the Tea Party.  The Tea Party, which was recently formed in 2009 and encouraged by Rick Santelli due to the growth and size of the federal government, is always targed by the major news media for shootings or violence that takes place in America.  The Tea Party is always at fault.  Big media is always looking for an excuse to link the Tea Party to some crazy psycho.  According to the leftist media, the Tea partiers are nothing but bigots and racist white folk who hate minorities.  Why doesn't the media ever point the finger at all the violence on Hollywood films?  Wouldn't all the blood, guts, killings, and shootings that's portrayed on the television screen and in the movie theaters incite violence amongst our young people?  It sounds more reasonable to make that assertion than Brian Ross's assertion that the alleged shooter is a member of Colorado's local Tea Party without any concrete evidence.

Last Friday on ABC's Good Morning America George Stephanopoulos, Brian Ross reported that there may be a link between alleged Colorado shooter Jim Holmes and the Tea Party.  "There's a Jim Holmes or Aurora, Colorado page on the Colorado Tea Party site as well, talking about him joining the Tea Party.  They didn't know at first if it was the same Jim Holmes.  ABC News has issued a correction to their earlier report and has concluded that the alleged shooter wasn't connected to the Tea Party.  Good for them.  I'm glad they finally corrected it.  They should've been cautious before trying to insinuate that this Jim Holmes, the shooter, is the same Jim Holmes that belongs to the Tea Party in Colorado.  Consequently, ABC doesn't care if it's careless when it comes to their reporting.  As long as it further denigrates the Tea Party and says they're nothing but racist homophobes and terrorists, that's all that counts as long as it promotes the Leftist agenda.
