The media/left don’t care if they tell the truth. Once a newspaper paints the attacker as a right wing nut who carries a bible around it is picked up and broadcast by other left wing crazies until enough people believe it as truth. They know what they are doing.

They're still claiming the tea-partiers hurled racial slurs at the house democrat leaders (provocateurs) doing their walk-around the capitol grounds last March. No proof was ever brought forth but no matter...

The New York Times buried the following correction dated July 25, 2010:

The Political Times column last Sunday, about a generational divide over racial attitudes, erroneously linked one example of a racially charged statement to the Tea Party movement. While Tea Party supporters have been connected to a number of such statements, there is no evidence that epithets reportedly directed in March at Representative John Lewis, Democrat of Georgia, outside the Capitol, came from Tea Party members.

Front page item in every leading broadsheet, lead story on every nightly news broadcast, repeated every 15 mins on cable for weeks. This is all the retraction it gets. Sigh.
