My "shocked" face. 
EXACTLY! Jim Holmes and the Tea Party should OWN NBC and Brian Ross.
you wonder how all of the other ABC employees who work hard, do the right thing (I’m sure there are some!) feel about Mr. Ross, his high salary, and his management........after this, how can anyone in their audience trust them?
Money is the only thing that talks here.
Tea Party Holmes needs to find the conservative version of Gloria Allred.
I suspect he’ll wind up with a nice settlement.
Fox news should do a report: “Brian Ross serial child molestor” Then say ooops sorry, our mistake, we retact that. Obviously it’s OK to do stuff like that because Brian Ross still has a job

In the last 5 to 10 years the media and what they say has become nearly irrelevant....and this election will pretty much kill it.
” and we seem to be getting less and less careful “
Sorry - nothing ‘careless’ about this —
It was a “Target of Opportunity” attack, with every intention of heaping dung on the Tea Party...
Brian Ross and Penn State - both deserve the death penalty from their professions for a couple of years.

I call BS!
The author said: “I believe the media malfeasance also includes a disregard for the reputations of the people on whom we report.”
WRONG!
The malfeasance is purposeful and driven by reporters who place agenda over accuracy!
Just as the media attempted to paint George Zimmerman as white, despite his hispanic heritage with labels and doctored audio, so did Brian Ross deliberately conduct a search of “James Holmes and Tea Party” to fulfill his fantasy that conservatives are dangerous.
Just as the media downplayed Barack Obama’s ties to Bill Ayers and Rev Wright, there is a clear agenda here.
Make no mistake. This is a war.
The media sets the agenda first, then looks for anything to support that agenda.
But the stampede to speed is only part of the problem.
Remember Katrina? ANY rumor whatsoever was mentioned by the media. I think one was about widespread cannibalism in the Superdome.
We ARE watching and paying close attention to you, Mr. Ross.
I sent a complaint to ABC about Ross. They sent a reply saying I should complain to my local ABC affiliate, as though hiring Brian Ross was their idea.

Suit denied.
Associated Press v. Walker, all the way to the United States Supreme Court,[33] and in 1967 the Supreme Court ruled against Edwin Walker and found that although the statements may have been false, the Associated Press was not guilty of reckless disregard in their reporting about Walker. AP had distributed the lie that former U.S. Army Major General and W.W.II special operations hero Edwin Walker had led mobs of whites against blacks at a Mississippi university campus.
