Posted by SLRT on Fri Jul 20 13:02:03 2012 Washington Post 12:46 PM Jenna Johnson ABC News incorrectly links alleged gunman to Colorado tea party This editor’s note appeared this morning on an ABC News reportabout the massacre at a Colorado movie theater: “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 and Brian Ross apologize for the mistake, and for disseminating that information before it was properly vetted.” Erik Wemple, who writes about the media for the Post, blogged about what he calls an “[u]nforgivable, regrettable, amateurish, miserable” mistake: ABC News invites bias claims with bogus Aurora report http://liveblog.washingtonpost.com/2012/07/20/colorado-theater-shooting/ |
