They are disgusting. I hope the guy sues them for mental anguish, defamation, slander, and anything else he can think of. Who cares if he was absent of malice.

Great movie, by the way. One of my favorites. The ending scene with Wilfred Brimley was great.

Journalism is dead folks. And its high time people start getting canned for betraying the trust of the public who they are supposed to be looking out for.

THEY knew exactly what they were saying, and it should be brought up that this was not in error. Start calling these idiots out.

The only seed that was planted, is just what these two idiots are clearly about. It is no accident in misjudgement, on their part, and that should be brought to attention.

It is very clear, what they were trying to do, and at a time of tragedy as this horiffic situation took place, how dare them.

I think anytime a shooting happens, the news media quickly tries to pin it on the Right or the Tea Party. I really do not know how people can trust these outlets. They are clearly biased and they lie.

The most ironic thing is, the try to pin it on the Tea Party, when if you look at the truth and facts of the group, they were overall well behaved, clean, and peaceful. Especially if you compare them to OWS.

You can sue the press. If the guy can prove damages, and that the network knew or should have known that the information was wrong, then he may win. I am sure he consulting a lawyer. I know that I would. This was sloppy journalism.

I think the most damaging thing would be is that right after he said it, he said he wasnt sure if that was really the guy. Yet, out of all the names that came up, he made sure to distinguish that one. So i would think, a decent lawyer could make a good case out of it.

And this shocks you or do you just enjoy showing us that you can hit yourself? Or is that just a real question?

How can you even question, if you are being serious, if a media outlet can be leftist? I believe it is clear to anyone who pays attention, many of the big outlets on tv are leftist and they dont try hard anymore to hide it.

Well if they are not sure or have a reliable source for the information they should have not have published his name. I am sure he will not have a hard time finding a lawyer.
