The Bottom Line on "Gay" Pizza

While the pink mafia and their leftist enablers have been melting down over the Memories Pizza "scandal" they have been conveniently ignoring the simple fact that it's entirely manufactured.

Here's an article that explains it perfectly.

Story About First Business to ‘Publicly Vow to Reject Gay Weddings’ Was Fabricated Out of Nothing

The Huffington Post headline screams: 

Indiana’s Memories Pizza Reportedly Becomes First
Business To Reject Catering Gay Wedding. 

Memories Pizza is a nine-year-old shop in downtown Walkerton, Indiana, just a few blocks from John Glenn High School. It’s owned by an openly-Christian couple, the O’Connors, who decorate their shop with mementos of their faith in Christ. So how does a small business in a small town wind up making headlines around the world as the new avatar of Christian bigotry?
Perhaps, you say, they brought this upon themselves, seeking out publicity for their strict biblical views.
Eh…no.
Some cursory internet forensics shows how it happened…or rather, how it was made to happen.
ABC-57 reporter Alyssa Marino’s editor sends her on a half-hour drive southwest of their South Bend studio, to the small town of Walkerton (Pop. ~2,300). According to Alyssa’s own account on Twitter, she “just walked into their shop [Memories Pizza] and asked how they feel” about Indiana’s new Religious Freedom Restoration Act.~snip~

You see there was no wedding, no one ever asked them to cater one nor had there ever been a request for pizzas for a "gay" wedding or reception or even a rehearsal dinner made to Memories Pizza for them even to turn down.
All the happened is some reporter asked questions designed as "gotchas" and of course if the right answers aren't given then the media goes into the "sly little lie mode".
The leftists know it's a lie and so do the pink mafia but they also know that they can milk the lie to their own advantage.
The media and the left play the people in this country constantly and they couldn't care less.
Harry Reid is a proven liar and proud of it.

The sad part is here we are entering another election cycle and the media still hasn't received the backlash from the American people that needs to happen so that voters can make an informed decision.

The Death of the Press

It seems that I can't post this picture enough because it symbolizes the state of the free press in this country.
See as how the media has been a wholly owned subsidiary of the democrat part for at least 3 decades now.
After white washing Bill Clinton's affairs during his time in the white house, and being surprised that the American public bought it, they've just become bolder with their deceptions.

Brian Williams gets caught in multiple lies so obviously some commie/liberal journalist has to find a "right wing" offender to equivocate the sin to.
So one of the least respected libtard publications floats a Bill Or'Reilly story. A few other leftist websites pick it up to pretty much a big yawn.
I'm not really a fan of O'Reilly's but his response was pretty good  and the 2 situations are not equivalent.
Williams was busted by troops who were there, Mother Jones relies on others working in the media to get their "gotcha" story. Seeing as how "journalists" have already shown themselves to be self serving liars there really isn't much legs to this.
Now we got the "Giuliani" scandal and judging by the last midterms I would say he's not the only one who wonders about Obama's loyalty to America.
A look at the last 6 years of his "presidency" would give most people pause to wonder the same things.

But don't worry, Obama's media apologists have his ass covered, like always.
Take a look at this thread at Twitchy.

The Federalist’s Sean Davis unloads on media’s Giuliani obsession; What about these scandals?

The saddest part of all this is the fact that we don't have to worry about government destroying a free press in this country. The leftist/commie infiltrators in the media are doing a good job of it already.

Four Days late and a few Sound Bites Short

CBS finally reports on Johnathan Gruber's admission that Obamacare was passed by with holding information from voters.
Of course they left out the "stupid voter" comment because leftist elites (like the boobs that run CBS) agree with that sentiment.
Face it, the only reason they finally covered it is because it's becoming a bigger story than they can ignore.
Is it any wonder that Obama wants to move to regulate the internet?

The Liberal Media's Lies and Omissions

A lot of people believe that the despicable way the liberal/commie media distorts the news for their purposes is a relatively new thing. It's not, they have been doing it for at least as long as I've been alive and I remember the late 60's and early 70's and the way the Vietnam war and the troops were portrayed.

This is a great article on what we weren't told by the media.

CORRECTING HISTORY: HOW VIETNAM VETS WERE EMBRACED

Why is it that the American people rejected our troops who served in Vietnam? We know all about the protests not only against the war, but against those who served. Why were there no demonstrations of support? Why was there no welcome home parade? What if what we know about Americans’ lack of support for our troops in Vietnam is wrong?
Impressive evidence has been revealed showing what we thought we knew was wrong all along.
The media have a great deal of control over the events that we think about. We only know about current events that get reported. When events are omitted from the record, history is effectively changed. In the early 1970s we had only three national TV networks and a few newspapers that had a national reach. Today, the Internet is making it harder for important events to ignored. We can now read news from a vast number of outlets, both major and minor, from around the world.
The Internet is also permitting the collection and dissemination of historical material that was largely ignored outside of the local media during the Vietnam War. Americans’ patriotism did not wane during Vietnam, it was simply not widely reported. This collection of our forgotten history can be found at a new website sponsored by NCRP, the National Committee for Responsible Patriotism, a group that has been around for many years but more recently has been forgotten.~snip~

The biased progressive /liberal media picks and chooses the stories they report on nationally in order to deceive people into believing their side of a story. Like the near deification of Obama or a war on woman, support for gay marriage, rampant racism, class envy,illegal immigration. If their position can be distorted and presented as truth they will do it.
Unfortunately too many Americans, until recently, only had limited resources to find the truth.
Now with the internet and it's multitude of alternative news sources it's possible for people to see the lies and distortions of the biased media, they no longer have a monopoly.
Hopefully that will be enough to embarrass the media into becoming an unbiased source and not the propaganda arm of the democrat party.
Or they'll be relegated to the status of super market tabloids....where they belong.

The Corrupt Medias Echo Chamber

I'm sure everyone's seen the news about Brandeis and Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
Basically it's another cowardly capitulation to a vocal sub minority raising a stink because they can.
CAIR is probably one of the most subversive organizations in this country who pretty much is opposed to any information about Islam, radical or not although the lines are pretty blurred, getting out to the masses unless they approve of it.
But you got to ask yourself why do they have this kind of power over the free dissemination of information?

The reason is simple, they have he ear of the corrupt liberal/commie mainstream media.
I mean really, who else but a red diaper wearing liberal reporter would wet their pants over what a bunch of terrorist apologists think about any issue?
This is something that has been going on since Obama and his minions entered office, for some reason the liberal pantywaists in the mainstream media have been emboldened to the point that they amplify these sub minorities grievances to a point that low information voters believe there is some kind of consensus of unfairness.
They've hit every group they can think of, gays, Muslims, women, minorities. Any group that they believe will divide Americans and give democrats the opportunity to ride in and save them.
They're trying to create pockets of dependency for the commie/liberals to exploit.
And to many Americans are falling for it.

Our Continuing Decline

After 6 years of Obama in office and liberal progressives pushing a nonsensical agenda things continue to look bleak for the American labor market.

SEVEN DEVASTATING ECONOMIC FACTS

U.S. economic conditions in 2014 continue to languish, as millions of Americans remain jobless. Seven economic facts underscore America’s increasingly dire economic outlook.
1. A Record 91.8 Million Americans Are No Longer in the Workforce
The latest Labor Department figures reveal that a record 91.8 million Americans are no longer in the U.S. labor force. To be included in the Labor Department's calculations for this statistic, a person must be 16 years or older, a civilian, not in an institution (such as prison), and someone who has not looked for a job in the last four weeks.
Minorities have been hit especially hard. As Dean Baker of the Center for Economic and Policy Research noted to PBS, last month’s jobs report also saw “the lowest rate of labor force participation among African-American men since we have kept that count. So that was really striking.”
According to the U.S. Census, 317 million people live in the United States.
2. Since Jan. 2009, the Number of Jobless Working-Age Americans Has Risen 9.6 Million People~snip~

Read it and weep. In a very short time we've gone from "hope and change" to desperation and despair with 3 more miserable years of this presidency to go.
To many Americans are buying the progressive lie that income inequality is caused by the rich and for some reason can't see the truth that the Obama regime has squashed opportunity at every turn in order to create dependency.
All to hold onto power in Washington.

Advancing Marxism

A lot of people seemed to be surprised about the article in Rolling Stone that advanced Marxist ideals, as they should be mostly because government is an extremely poor steward of how public moneys is spent.

One of the ideas advanced was:
#2. Social Security for All

But let's think even bigger. Because as much as unemployment blows, so do jobs. What if people didn't have to work to survive? Enter the jaw-droppingly simple idea of a universal basic income, in which the government would just add a sum sufficient for subsistence to everyone's bank account every month. A proposal along these lines has been gaining traction in Switzerland, and it's starting to get a lot of attention here, too.
We live in the age of 3D printers and self-replicating robots. Actual human workers are increasingly surplus to requirement – that's one major reason why we have such a big unemployment problem. A universal basic income would address this epidemic at the root and provide everyone, in the words of Duke professor Kathi Weeks, "time to cultivate new needs for pleasures, activities, senses, passions, affects, and socialities that exceed the options of working and saving, producing and accumulating."
Put another way: A universal basic income, combined with a job guarantee and other social programs, could make participation in the labor force truly voluntary, thereby enabling people to get a life.

It seems that this battle is pretty much lost, I mean how is extending unemployment benefits into perpetuity any different than a universal income?

In surprise move, unemployment benefits advance

The Senate begins an even tougher task after a surprise vote on Tuesday to break a GOP filibuster of legislation extending unemployment benefits.
That is: finding a way to pay for the measure.
Democrats were able to secure six Republican votes to advance the three-month extension of unemployment benefits, nabbing just the 60 votes that are necessary to move ahead. But now they must work with centrist Republicans to strike a bipartisan accord that would offset the legislation’s $6.5 billion cost, a tall task in a Senate still brimming with partisan divisions.
But it’s not at all clear that the Republicans who sided with Democrats to break the filibuster will vote for final passage. Two of them said Tuesday they would most likely oppose it without the offsets they are seeking.~nip~

The goals of leftists don't necessarily have to spelled out in plain English, they have been very adept at using what's already there to advance their agenda.

  

For Our Own Good

Personally I would be amazed if there is anyone out there who believes that the liberal/commie media doesn't deliberately mislead and lie constantly.
The evidence is all over the place and since the ascension of the Obamessiah they seem to be particularly emboldened to do so.

When you think about it why shouldn't they? The consequences for doing so, so far, are zilch...zip...nada.

There seems to be hardly anyone that can hold them accountable/

DENVER POST SCRUBS 'SOCIALIST' FROM DESCRIPTION OF COLORADO SCHOOL SHOOTER

On the evening of December 13, in which 18-year-old Karl Pierson entered Arapahoe High School and shot two students, The Denver Post published a description of the teen as a "very opinionated socialist." However, by the next day, the description merely read that he was "very opinionated." The word "socialist" was scrubbed without explanation.
The story written for the Post by Zahira Torres and Yesenia Robles initially buried the fact that the young man was identified as a socialist in the 13th paragraph.
In the first paragraph the paper noted that Pierson was "outspoken about politics," and in the third quoted a friend who said that the shooter "had very strong beliefs about gun laws and stuff."
But readers had to wait until the 13th paragraph to read what direction those outspoken political views took.
That paragraph originally read: "Thomas Conrad, who had an economics class with Pierson, described him as very opinionated Socialist."
But by Saturday morning, the Post had quietly sent the word "socialist" down the Internet memory hole. The revised paragraph simply reported that Pierson was very opinionated.~snip~

The explanation for why they  censored the word "socialist" is as stupidly ham fisted as the deletion was.
Now I realize that everyone understands that if they could find any association to the Tea Party it would have led in the headline cause plenty of good socialists know what the term "Tea Party" means.
The truth is that they censored the word because they are a socialist media and they know they are, they also know that avowed socialists are violent, elitist and angry. But they don't want that front and center for everyone to see because they think they have everyone fooled into thinking they're not.

Hey, I didn't say socialists are clever.

Medias Desperate Rescue of Obama

After the launch of Obamacare and the initial "success" stories by the media were firmly debunked as partisan shills basically lying about their Obamacare experience the liberal/commie media couldn't ignore the elephant in the room.

They actually had to report on the roll out of the train wreck the democrats rammed down our throats.

Their constant cheer leading for Obama and the democrat party has already taken a toll on their credibility.

CNN and MSNBC Lose Almost Half Their Viewers in One Year

So what do they decide to do? Double down of course and go on another desperate search for Obamacare successes.

Is Obamacare on the rebound? Media turn to positive stories.

Bit by bit, the media narrative around the travails of Obamacare and its main enrollment vehicle, HealthCare.gov, is starting to look up. Or to put it more precisely, it is no longer so crushingly negative.
After weeks of stories about website crashes and canceled health plans – and an extraordinary mea culpa from President Obama – a competing story line is starting to emerge. Slowly but surely, people are navigating the exchanges and getting insurance – for some, cheaper and better than what they had. Last week, The New York Times and Los Angeles Times touted a “surge” in enrollment figures, especially in states that have their own exchanges.~snip~

So again the liberal/commie media is showing how far into the tank they are and how far they'll go to prop up a total failure for the country like Obama and the ACA are.
Which seems pretty self destructive because if fewer people are watching then how can they successfully shill for the Obamessiah?
The possibility for a death spiral of Obamacare is very real, and the possibility for a death spiral of the progressive media will follow right along.

Now They Notice?

Where were the media and unions before this trainwreck of a law was forced down our throats?
Now the elite liberal/commie media wants to report on the "unintended consequences" of Obamacare as if these couldn't have been seen before they had to "pass it to see what's in it".

But then again this is exactly the kind of intentional malfeasance we've come to expect from the lapdog liberal/commie media. The fact that so many Americans swallow the left wing propaganda spewed by the democrat owned media is just really sad.
We should demand better.

The Truth about Consequences

As the liberal/commie media continues to beclown themselves by having a snit fit over the George Zimmerman verdict there's a few things that they have left unsaid.
There's not a lot of "news" about the way that they twisted and distorted the truth to create an atmosphere of division for the socialist democrats to exploit during the 2014 elections.

There's a good possibility that NBC will face the consequences for their deliberate, fraudulent out and out lie of deceptive editing of the 911 tape in order to depict Zimmerman as a racist. Because that's what they do....deceive and lie for the benefit of the democrat party.

 LEGAL EXPERTS: ZIMMERMAN SUIT COULD COST NBC 'MILLIONS

If you look at this timeline that lists the objectively terrible media behavior in the early days of the Zimmerman case last year, you will see how crucial NBC's fraudulent editing of a 911 call was in setting a media and political narrative that falsely claimed George Zimmerman is racist. This malicious edit made it look as though Zimmerman was profiling Trayvon Martin as black, when he was simply answering a dispatcher's question:

On the storied "Today Show," NBC News told America Zimmerman said this on the 911 call:
Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.
When the truth is that the unedited audio actually went like this:
Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. Or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about.
Dispatcher: OK, and this guy — is he black, white or Hispanic?
Zimmerman: He looks black.

Once NBC's fraud was publicly debunked, George Zimmerman filed suit against the network. After his acquittal last week, Zimmerman's attorneys said they will now turn their energies towards NBC. ~snip~

The truth, of course is whatever way the liberal/commie media wants to spin it and all of the mainstream media will be in on it. Don't expect a whole lot of "reporting" from the other liberal/commie news outlets about this lawsuit. It's not something they want to encourage, I mean accountability is something that the liberal/commie media thinks is beneath them.

What's really discouraging in my opinion is that even if they are found guilty of fraud and libel or whatever and rightly have to pay out millions in damages it will hardly make a dent in their credibility for millions of people that consume their tripe.
I wonder how much malfeasance and absolute fraud it will take before Americans start demanding that the media simply tell the truth once in a while.

McRINO Yukking it Up......

....after putting the screws to the middle class by pushing amnesty for illegals with Chuckie Schumer.

 

Seriously, does anybody really think these two "peas in a pod" have the working men/womens best interests at heart?
McCain and Flake are facing a recall petition.
BTW there's a petition out there to recall RINO Rubio also.
Recall Senator Marco Rubio

I think we would do well to remember the image of McCain laughing his ass off at those who swallowed his horse shit about needing to secure the border when he ran last time.

It's time to send a clear sign to the RNC that we will no longer tolerate out and out liars for candidates to Washington.

Stewards of the Environment

So today Obama gave a speech about how we all must be committed to protecting the environment at Georgetown University, ya know....how fragile the planet is and how,"SOMEBODYS GOTTA DO SOMETHING!!!!!!".
Then everybody left.......first picking up after themselves.

Just kidding, here's what it looked like.

Which is just marginally better than what Occupy Wall Street left behind.

Of course they want to DO SOMETHING!! with somebody elses money. In the meantime Obama is pretty much ignoring the rising deficit, the lack of job opportunities (because he's stifling business with Obamacare and the EPA) , the lack of transparency in his administration and the deliberate targeting of citizens who make any attempt to oppose his policies.

But never fear cause he's got a laser focus on that non-global warming thingy.

On Media Defeatism

Years ago, Feb. 27,1968 to be precise, Walter Cronkite delivered a report from New York on the Tet Offensive basically saying that "we are mired in a stalemate".
After the broadcast Lyndon Johnson was supposed to have said something along the lines of  “If I’ve lost Cronkite, I’ve lost the war.”

Whether he actually said it or not the fact that it persists is a telling indication about what impact the media can have on events. Support for the war began to erode pretty quickly after that.
The media made a hard turn against the war and there was growing resentment for the democrat policy of involuntary inscription into the Army to basically be thrust into a perceived meat grinder.

According to Robert McNamara's book, "In Retrospect" there really wasn't the political will to win the war in Vietnam but that is another discussion.

What got me thinking about this is the almost comical way the liberal commie media has been spinning the stories on the Boston marathon bombers trying to find anyway they can to redirect the focus away from the real reason why these 2 Jihadists set off bombs killing and maiming innocent people.
From during the pre-capture to the after events, in almost every media bullshit session from assorted liberal talking heads (who's sole expertise on the subject is a journalism degree) , the focus has been away from the victims and towards an almost sympathetic discussion about the perpetrators.

The fact of the matter is that Islam is at war with us and everybody knows it, even the media elite, who believe that since they'll never be subjected to the violence that the rest of us "little people" have to endure, feel perfectly fine with pontificating on high lecturing all the rest of us on how we should behave and think.

Truth is it's the way its always been and as long as we allow the media to spin events we'll never have the will to pull ourselves out from under the influence of radical Islam.
The media is the enemy and they need to be held accountable for enabling the terror when it comes.

Busted...the "Myth" of Media Bias

Found this article over at Weasel Zippers talking about what's been obvious all along.

Gun debate triggered media bias

If you thought President Obama was outraged after the Senate killed the plan to expand background checks on guns, you should have seen some members of the press.
Even by the standards of today’s partisan media environment, the response has been noteworthy. Television hosts, editorial boards, and even some reporters have aggressively criticized and shamed the 46 Senators who opposed the plan, while some have even taken to actively soliciting the public to contact them directly.
The decision by some members of the media to come down so firmly on one side of a policy debate has only served to reinforce conservatives’ longstanding suspicions that the mainstream media has a deep-seated liberal bias.
“I guess the liberal media get annoyed when Senators listen to their constituents and think for themselves, rather than doing the media’s bidding,” Bill Kristol, the editor-in-chief of the Weekly Standard, told POLITICO.~snip~

Read the whole thing and then tell me how anyone can trust anything that these pompous assholes write, Between hoping for Boston marathon bomber to be white to searching for any whiff of "tea party" involvement when any tragedy strikes it's boldly apparent that the media will stoop to any level to advance their liberal commie agenda.
It's unbelievable that anyone can take what they say seriously.

Liberal Media's Deception through Omission

I don't think it's any surprise to anyone that the progressive alphabet channels do their utmost to steer the morals, attitude and beliefs in this country through various means,
What is surprising is the number of people who let them get away with it. Ideas that were once unthinkable 15 to 20 years ago seem to be common place now in 2013.

There is no depth that the liberal, progressive media will sink to to push their agenda on the public, from using children as props for Obamacare to dancing on their graves to push unneeded gun control measures on the public.

But sometimes, to prop up one of their sacred cows, they'll engage in acts of omission. They seem to think that if they don't talk about it no one will notice.
That's why when one of their own, Kirsten Powers, notices it's time to sit up and pay attention.

Philadelphia abortion clinic horror: Column

 Infant beheadings. Severed baby feet in jars. A child screaming after it was delivered alive during an abortion procedure. Haven't heard about these sickening accusations?
It's not your fault. Since the murder trial of Pennsylvania abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell began March 18, there has been precious little coverage of the case that should be on every news show and front page. The revolting revelations of Gosnell's former staff, who have been testifying to what they witnessed and did during late-term abortions, should shock anyone with a heart.~snip~

I agree with her that this story should be covered by the media extensively but I know that it won't be. Simply because the liberal media supports the murder of unborn babies, abortion, up to just before birth. Because women deserve to be able to control their own bodies dontcha know.

But the problem with telling this story is the babies were murdered seconds after they were no longer part of the woman's body and to talk about them actually being alive with a chance to survive is too close to realizing that there is a point that these were actually human beings in their mothers womb.

The lying liberal media doesn't want to take a chance that more people will trip upon that idea and start to think about what abortion really is and they can't have that. After all it might undo the decades of lies and omissions they worked so hard to disseminate to keep the murder mills of planned parenthood going.

RINO Rebellion

Well here we go, when people say there isn't a dimes worth of difference between republicans and democrats, basically they're right.
Republicans are just as willing to buy votes as democrats are.

Top Republican Senator ditches Norquist anti-tax pledge

A top Republican senator is casting aside an anti-tax pledge he signed, saying that solving the country’s looming fiscal crisis is more important than honoring the decades-old pact.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., broke ranks with other conservatives Wednesday when he made the remarks to a local television station. Chambliss is a member of the Gang of Six, a bipartisan group of senators tasked with finding a solution to the country's fiscal woes.
"I care more about my country than I do about a 20-year-old pledge," he told WMAZ-TV. "If we do it his way then we’ll continue in debt, and I just have a disagreement with him about that."
Congress and the White House face a year-end deadline to reach a deal that staves off an avalanche of tax increases and deep cuts in government programs – commonly referred to now as the “fiscal cliff.”
Chambliss signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, authored by conservative activist Grover Norquist and embraced by the majority of congressional Republican lawmakers. In it, Norquist, an anti-tax lobbyist and head of Americans for Tax Reform, does not allow for tax rates to rise.
Those who sign the pledge "solemnly bind themselves to oppose any and all tax increases," according to the group’s website, which states that 39 senators, including Chambliss, and 219 House members support it.
Chambliss acknowledged that distancing himself from the pledge might hurt him in his bid for re-election in 2014, but said he's not.

Republicans....like democrats are all for sacrifice as long as it's someone else. I haven't really heard a whole lot in this debate about cutting out some of the waste and corruption that exists in our federal government.  They're all about raising taxes on others and threatening to cut money from the most vulnerable, Social Security, the military, programs for the poor etc., but I don't hear no talk about cutting back on their salaries or those of civil servants.
Nothing about cutting back on their "Cadillac" insurance plans or even switching over to Obamacare like the rest of us are forced to.
Obama winning a second term has given the RINO's cover to be their true selves and help the democrats tax the country into submission and giving the country a reason to purge more RINO's in 2014.
By then even the idiots who voted for Obama should have had enough....I hope.

Whiny Libs Blubber to U.N.

I can't think of anything more insulting than to be monitored by this group of racists, liars and thieves.

International monitors at US polling places draw criticism

United Nations-affiliated election monitors from Europe and central Asia will be at polling places around the U.S. looking for voter suppression activities by conservative groups, a concern raised by civil rights groups during a meeting this week. The intervention has drawn criticism from a prominent conservative-leaning group combating election fraud.
The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), a United Nations partner on democratization and human rights projects, will deploy 44 observers around the county on Election Day to monitor an array of activities, including potential disputes at polling places.
Liberal-leaning civil rights groups met with representatives from the OSCE this week to raise their fears about what they say are systematic efforts to suppress minority voters likely to vote for President Obama.
The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, the NAACP and the ACLU, among other groups, warned this month in a letter to Daan Everts, a senior official with OSCE, of “a coordinated political effort to disenfranchise millions of Americans — particularly traditionally disenfranchised groups like minorities.”

Progressive commie leftists will not take defeat lightly.
I just find it so hard to believe that these people actually want to continue four more years down this ideological road.
Just because they want to commit suicide doesn't mean they have to take the rest of us with them.

Truth not as easy as ABC

How far does the lies, distortions and willful deceit have to go before the viewers of ABC news have had enough?
Holmes's mother suggests ABC News mischaracterized her statement

"This statement is to clarify a statement made by ABC media. I was awakened by a call from a reporter by ABC on July 20 about 5:45 in the morning. I did not know anything about a shooting in Aurora at that time," Holmes said in a statement this afternoon, read to the national press by attorney Lisa Damiani. "He asked if I was Arlene Holmes and if my son was James Holmes who lives in Aurora, Colorado. I answered yes, you have the right person. I was referring to myself."
"I asked him to tell me why he was calling and he told me about a shooting in Aurora," she continues. "He asked for a comment. I told him I could not comment because I did not know if the person he was talking about was my son, and I would need to find out."
In the first paragraph of its initial report on Friday, ABC News reported that it had identified the correct James Holmes because his mother "told ABC News her son was likely the alleged culprit, saying, 'You have the right person.'"

First they slander the Tea Party and then distort the reaction of the shooters mother.
This ain't journalism anymore it's sensationalism, no wonder they're losing viewers.
