Typical of the media. They shoot from the hip and then say “whoopsie” our bad? Now this poor guy will be harassed by who knows who because of them.
Any one named Holmes that was contacted by the media assuming they were the shooter needs to sue the crap out of that media,apology or not.This crap is out of control especially when the shooter was in custody
Hold ‘em accountable.
Mr. Holmes, may I suggest you say nothing more and contact the most rabid, media-hating lawyer you can find...
and sue the obama out of them. Go for the jugular, they certainly wouldn’t hesitate to do the same to you.
LIBEL.

Instead of issueing a statement Ross should be apologizing on the air every 5 minutes.
Proof? We don’ need no steenking proof. We’re with the MSM.
You can’t un-ring a bell.
Were I king, I would shut down ABC and launch an IRS investigation into all corporate officers, employees, and advertisers.
An expensive lawsuit has a chance of getting Brian Ross fired. And there’s no denying that ABC has the kind of deep pockets ambulance chasers have wet dreams about. Which is why ABC and Ross both apologized. Hopefully too late for them to avoid paying out a bunch of cash to Holmes.
Even breitbart seems to think that identifying this guy as an Hispanic is more important than identifying him as an American. The left has won in battle of taking control of our discussions.
If i was this guy I’d be telling ABC to get their checkbook out.
While it may be true that they got the information from outside the ABC organization, that doesn't excuse the fact that they friggin tripped over themselves to report it, rather than investigate first. The whole focus of the "apology" is to blame the source rather than their own libtard agenda for making them careless and irresponsible.
The media was just hoping beyond hope that this was true.
Brian Ross is such an idiot.
He should be fired over this.
Make ABC squeal in pain at the size of the check they’ll be forced to write.
I’ll still never get over the incendiary way the media tried to make Palin complicit in the Tucson mass-murder. Within hours, the media’s constantly rotating video loop was of footage of blood on the pavement, Giffords, a photo of the little girl who was killed, and Sarah Palin walking up on stage at a Tea Party rally. Over and over again. It was akin to Soviet or Nazi-era propaganda films and the way visuals were manipulated to tie separate things together, and deliberately arousing intense emotions of hatred.
Anyway, I hope this gent goes ballistic on the media. They are evil scum.
Sue them, Mr. Holmes. Sue them till they bleed from the ears.
Finally joined the NRA this morning. WHY? Because I’m well aware of all the usual suspects that will be coming out of the wood work, and realized it’s time to put up, or shut up.
