Brian Ross of ABC takes heat for another blunder

Posted by SLRT on Sun Jul 22 12:44:23 2012

I'm sorry, knowing how to type google.com doesn't make you an "investigative correspondent."

Politico.

If some here did they'd know about the RW smear of the Democratic Party and OWS with their LIE associating the Colorado theater shooter with those groups.

No retractions form the RW. No outrage.

They don't care about that. They only get high and mighty if their darling tea party gets smeared.

Goose gander, Fred.

Their whining is meaningless unless they curtail their own lies.

ABC did the right thing. Their RW "media" has NOT. Asked and answered.

Which article are you talking about?

If you read the article, bingbong, this guy has put out crap on a lot more than this. Maybe if media associations weren't so quick to hand out shiny awards (as they have with Ross) or maybe supplemented them with BS disgrace awards, people like him would be a little more careful.

Not a repost. The first article was about the retraction. This one is about the reporter with a rundown of his greatest hits.

james eagan holmes breitbart drudge democrat

Find out. It's all over the RWer sites and it's a LIE. No retractions, no outrage.

Oh, I see outrage from the likes of Mother Jones. Where's the outrage on the LEFT about Ross?

And I read the original Breitbart piece. He pointed out Ross's screw-up about the Tea Party and did an "in fact, he MIGHT be a registered democrat.

There is history to this, Bingbong. When every lefty and the President of the United States were hammering the Tea Party on absolute bullshit, Obama went from a +2.0 average DISapproval rating on January 8 to a +8.2 APPROVAL rating (RCP) on January 25. That's a 10 point improvement. Except for a brief blip in March, he didn't go back into negative territory until April 2.

So it isn't simply a slip by an enthusiastic reporter. The last time the Tea Party was made the bogeyman, Obama gained a net 10 points plus. How very convenient if a second lie could have done it for him again.

This has been the norm for years. And it's only going to get more one-sided in the coming years.

In fairness, once you guys start fact-checking Hannity and the others, maybe we'll have a reason to get so bent out of shape. Still can't believe this is so important. Disney news is administering plenty of whippings and policy changes in their newsroom.

Fact-checking is best done by a disinterested party. Lemme see if bingbong wants to write you a check anyway. :)

So then why is the teabagger darling breitbart (who BTW id dead) giving him the lie about the shooter's supposed poltical affiliation???The entire RW "media" is reporting it as truth. It is a LIE. No retraction. No outrage.

Ross done been flogged already. Now you want to flog a dead horse.

Breitbart unapologetically smeared the Democrats but that's ok with you so you won't object to that.

Fred
