A year or so ago I saw Chris Wallace interview John Stewart on the subject of media bias.
It was hugely disappointing. John Stewart had all the liberal talking points down pat (basically denying there was any bias at all) and Chris Wallace seemed to have never been to newsbusters.org... not even once.
Part of the problem is what passes for competence on our side is often not very competent at all.
And since our side is so poorly represented in the media, this is a big, big problem.
The reverse is also true and even more valid.
The left is associated with communism, naziism and socialism and everything that wants to control and demean man and encumber his personal freedom.
I read that Brian Ross has herpes, but I can’t confirm if its the same Brian Ross who works for ABC News.
It is now clear that ABC news intentionally misrepresent Holmes’ mother’s comment. About Holmes, she specifically told them she did not know if the shooter was her son.
When asked earlier if she was the mother of a James Holmes she’d replied in the early morning after just being awakened: “you’ve got the right one.” She was referring to herself.
ABC intentionally ignored her comment about not knowing if the shooter was her son in order to give the impression that she had some inner sense at the time that the shooter was her son: “you’ve got the right one.”
That isn’t just misguided. It is intentional misrepresentation.
Wow,I posted my #2 before seeing this:
Maybe I was wrong about Chris Wallace. Maybe he somehow got Jon Stewart to see at least a little of the light.
Ross is ostensibly an “Investigative Reporter”. Ask yourself: if you Google James, Jim, Jimmy Holmes or any combination, how many people in this Country would pop up with that name - literally thousands. So if this is an example of his “Investigative” skills, he should be fired for incompetence alone! This also shows clearly how when you get so-called “Reporters” with an ax to grind, your so-called “News” organization lacks all credibility. Of course by putting former klinton paid apologist and Chief Popaganda Minister, Georgie Stephanopoulos front and center, credibility is way down the list of priorities.

ABC intentionally ignored her comment about not knowing if the shooter was her son in order to give the impression that she had some inner sense at the time that the shooter was her son: “you’ve got the right one.”When I first heard that report I thought, what a strange thing for a mother to say, like she knew all along her son was absolutely capable of mass-murder... and she was going to mention it to someone but it sort of slipped her mind.
The media is scum.
Actually it’s herpes of the anus. And I can confirm it because I found a doctor who has treated a Brian Ross and described him to me as an herpetic asshole!
Oh my. I hadn’t heard that.
There are reasons I despise the media. Here’s another reason.
They will be in a state of utter shock and disbelief when they finally get what they are asking for.
The free press that our Founders envisioned as a bastion against an overweaning government has self-destructed into a monotheistic religion who’s god is liberal statism. It is a heavy loss to our body politic that is barely being offset by the alternate media outlets.
You have to figure. Most people in the media don’t really have any concept of flyover country or the attitudes here. That goes for even the best conservative media talkers.
Limbaugh and Beck are a bit better because they’re away from the traditional media centers but even they are somewhat sheltered. Unfortunately their fame will forever keep them sheltered.
Brian Ross had to go no further than to find someone with the same name as the shooter who was a member of the TEA Party...likely by a Google search...and in his liberal mind no further verification was necessary.
Obnoxious as ever, but on point. OTOH, Stewart does work for a competing network.
THE ONLY LIGHT JON STEWART IS EVER LIKELY TO SEE IS WHEN HE FARTS AND SOME LIGHT CREEPS IN..........
The media is scum is right. She reports she clearly, in no uncertain terms told them, “I don’t know if that’s my son.”
AT THE SAME interview in which she initially made the “you’ve got the right one” comment.
There was no doubt on the part of the interviewer what she had said.
But, like with the guy who doctored the sequence of George Zimmerman’s comments in order to make him appear racist, they doctored out entirely her comment about not knowing if her son was involved.
You’re right. They are scum.
ABC News needs a warning label: “Unreliable Information...proceed at your own risk”
I don’t agree with you about Limbaugh. Yes he’s not “in touch” with my life because he makes 50 million a year (or whatever) and has to lead an extremely well-secured life style in the face of the possibility of many threats on his life.
However, he has been 99% correct in everything he’s said over the years, in my opinion.
What would he have said differently if he were but a poor slob like me?
Although you happen to be right about him — his fame does shelter him — you do, in fact, have him all wrong.
You are correct, iceskater. Another reason to despise the establishment media.
Here’s the thread with the mother’s actual comments:
