Brian Ross tried to knock me down and take my lunch money when I was a kid. He was bigger at the time, but I still kicked his ass.

ABC is owned by Disney?

In a just world, it might soon be owned by a Tea Partier named James Holmes.

The MSM will say that he was really a TEA party type, but he just was still confused about his identity and hadn’t realized what he really was yet.

ABC and the rest of the socialist democrat frauds in the MSM have an itchy finger when it comes to reporting anything negative (true or not) that it hopes will politically damage the right. When it’s determined this NUTJOB was an OCCUPIER or anti american leftist, see how fast the frauds holster their gun and pretend nothing happened.

Alphabets networks so-called ‘professional journalism’ is utter trash. Not even on the level of the Globe or National Enquirer. Garbage that only idiot minds derive their only news from these days.

WE are not sure if this is the Brian Ross at ABC but you must know that this has happened: This is from our chief investigator.

ST. ALBANS — Chris Davis was lured to the St. Albans municipal swimming pool by two local residents who beat and robbed him in late March, city police say.

There is some question as to whether Davis, 22, of Swanton, was alive or dead when they were finished, according to Police Chief Gary L. Taylor. Police have conflicting reports.

Davis, who was reported missing March 30, was found floating face down in the half-filled pool on April 16.

The two men, Travis Bugbee and Brian Ross, both 23 of St. Albans, pleaded not guilty to assault and robbery with injury when they were arraigned Thursday in Vermont Superior Court in St. Albans. Bugbee also denied a charge of unlawful mischief.

I saw Brian Ross at the Hindenburg disaster. He was on the tower.

They did the same thing with Jared Loughner accusing him of Tea Party associations at first. Must be the new SOP for the liars in the Enemedia. Falsely accuse then verify later. Such lowest order Orwellian-like scum.

I submit it was a purposeful deed.

I submit that you are correct. The liberal idiots (I repeat myself) in this country will run on what was first said regardless of the facts

It does not matter how much apologizing they do, they accomplished their intent and that was to connect the Tea Party to anything bad or distasteful.

These POS people ought to be.....well.

The Chairman of Disney should FIRE Brian Ross Right Now, and any producers that handed him this information, but they won’t..

"An earlier ABC News broadcast report suggested that a Jim Holmes of a Colorado Tea Party organization might be the suspect, but that report was incorrect," ABC News said in a statement. "ABC News and Brian Ross apologize for the mistake, and for disseminating that information before it was properly vetted."

"Vetting" stories has nothing to do with this. Their intention was to bring up the possibility whether it was, or could be, possible. Once it airs the damage is done. ABC is just another of Soetoro's liars and enablers. I was taught at a very young age that whatever is said can't be taken back.

I hope he sues them, too. Depends if they knew his age when they reported it and did it anyway for political gain.

I was told by a source Brian Ross’s nose was three inches longer after today's story but it can't be confirmed as Pinocchio is unavailable for comment.
