ABC World News Reports Threat at Tucson Town Hall, Omits it was Made to a Tea Partier
Fox News ^ | 1/16/2011 | Noel Sheppard

A survivor of last week's Tucson shootings issued a death threat to a Tea Party member Saturday in the middle of a taping for a town hall meeting to be aired on ABC's "This Week."

For some reason, ABC World News Saturday in its report about the gathering chose to omit the seriousness of the threat and that it was made to a Tea Partier.

ABC is imagining it is continuing in a coverup. At the same time the guy who made the threat is presumptively innocent until a judge decides he's nutty as a fruitcake!

I'm sure ABC actually has a lawyer on duty on this one and he's written up one of those wonderful "well, if you do this you could do that, but if you say that, you could risk this" ~ which means, unlike Sheriff Deepsix, ABC's management probably doesn't want to take the risk of this guy NOT being sent to inpatient treatment for a good long while.

Still, they have folks in the news division who imagine they are covering all this up lest they help the TEA Party.

Yes indeed, and twist it to fit their Liberal agenda.

Not only is ABC News digging a hole, but they’re making it six feet deep.

...mumbled what seemed to be a threat, but it’s not really worth mentioning.....

Up next, how insane statements in right wing radio caused the tragedy.....

I love how Fox pokes them in the eye. More people watch Fox and their numbers continue to climb.

Good post.

It’s taken 30 years to lift the veil and understand the patterns and techniques of our political adversaries. My first point of reference is Bob Grant, followed by Rush, and then Levin.
