Beck Blasts ABC’s Misreporting, Uses Google to Turn Table on Reporter Who Indicted Tea Party

The mainstream media never seems to miss an opportunity to politicize a tragedy in its rush to paint conservatives in a negative light. In this instance, ABC news irreverently used an unverified report in an attempt to tie the Tea Party to the Aurora, CO shooter. The result was that an innocent man by the same name was fingered as the shooter.

(Visit The Blaze’s separate page on the shooting for all the latest news and updates)

Responding to ABC’s Brian Ross and his hair-trigger reporting, Glenn Beck said that the media’s job “is not to go out and speculate.”

“Their job is to report the news not make the news.”

ABC was the “first” to turn this tragedy into a “political potato,” Beck said, and even noted that he wondered in his initial reaction who would be the first to do so. Beck and his crew discussed the level of irresponsibility among journalists and news outlets today and said it is time for irresponsible media to be sued and made an example of.

Even the Huffington Post is blasting ABC for its reporting, which speaks volumes about just how unprofessional the news outlet’s conduct is.

Beck asked what good misinformation does for anyone. “It does none.”

But Beck and his radio team wasn’t done there. They also decided to point out the absurdity of Ross’s actions by doing some Googling and finding crimes in which someone named “Brian Ross” was mentioned. It wasn’t hard, and it made for a revealing segment:

    This attempt to make a connection to the Co shooting is further evidence that News Departments have been taken over by the Entertainment Division of the network. The ethos of reporters of telling the story accurately is out the door to be replaces by the people trying to sell cornflakes.

      When ABC and Brian Ross anounced there was a Jim Holmes in Aurora, and he had recently joined the Tea Party, they put this 54 year olds life at risk. He is being buried in lawyers that want to sue for Defamation of Character. Before this is over we will find out how deep ABC’s and Brian Rosses pockets are. I bet they go for at least $ 10 million and will probably settle out of court for 3 to 5 million $$$.

      “If it bleeds, it leads.” So sick and since this saying was accepted, journalism has taken this and never came back out of the gutter. What Brain Ross did was as bad as what Spike Lee and Roseanne Barr did by putting the address of George Zimmerman’s family on that stupid Tweet site. Ross has been doing this job for 30+ years at least and he of all people should know better, but the government media are vampires. The first whiff of blood and they cannot wait to feed on a story like this by desperately trying to link the alleged shooter to the evil conservative movement. It is what they do. It is what they will continue to do. And we all knew that this was coming. Why didn’t Ross think to connect this guy to OWS? OWS is the violent socialist/anarchist arm of George Soros and they encourages violence daily.

      NEWSFLASH – Barack Obama is responsible for this massacre, as sure as the sky is blue. Obama’s war on the American economy left this man unemployed and without hope of finding a job. He was collecting unemployment, thanks to Barack’s Socialist policies. He was lonely, bored and felt worthless. Like most Democrats he was probably using drugs to pass the time. He grew desperate, and hated seeing the Obamas headed off on luxurious vacations while he ate Ramen Noodles and drank WalMart cola. So, he killed. And it‘s Barack’s fault.

      I admit, I thought the same thing when I heard King Barry on TV yet again this morning. No doubt, this guy chose to do what he did, but what creeped me out even more was that his mother was a psychiatric nurse! Only a lib dem from San Diego, Cali would let their kid be running around another state just waiting to do something like this!! Everything is tanking so bad in this country, why not blame Barry? If GWB was President, and this happened, can you imagine. TIME magazine’s cover would read, “Gun Nation: Whatcha gonna do W?” With the Bush‘s face split down with the Joker’s. Barry, as sure as cat *hit stinks to high hell, may have been in part responsible for what has happened. But the shooter, chose to do what he did and planned it out. Ironic, remember all those posters of Barry as the joker plastered all over city walls in joker face paint??? Strange.

      Blast all you want Glen, you will not change a thing.

      Liberals live by a different code. Lying is not new to them, they are experts at spreading lies. Every time an incident like this happens, they lie and try to make the sheeple believe the killer somehow has ties to the right or the tea party. We all know the truth.

      Do a little statistical study,. Last election, 98% of blacks voted for Obama. Blacks committed half the murder in the US last year. Right off, we can already determine that half the killers are liberal and support Obama. Of the whites that commit crime, most come from the welfare system, are into drugs, and rely on the dole out from the federal gov.

      If elections were held in our prisons, democrats would clean up, as most criminals lean left.

      Ross and the ABC crew did not type “James Holmes” into Google, and Tea Party info popped up.

      Ross and crew sat down, typed “tea party” and “James Holmes” and “Colorado” and still nothing. Then they tried “Jim Holmes” and “Tea Party” and they got a hit. As soon as they had it, they grabbed the ball and ran with it. The were looking to tie him to the Tea Party from the start.

      Had they typed “James Holmes” into Google, and got anything about OWS, Obama Supporter, Progressive supporter, or anything left leaning, they would have not said a word.

      Glenn states “Their job is to report the news not make the news.” You are wrong Glenn. ABC, CBC, NBC, CNN MSNBC… pay thier reporters to make news, they do it every day, they have done it for decades.

While you’re at it give us your source for your statement that 98% of blacks in the US voted for President Obama. The world is watching you Perp! You can prove you are not a liar! You can do it Perp!

      Actually most mass murderers are white males. You’ve probably heard of Timothy McViegh, the Columbine killers and all the post office mass murders. You’ve heard of Richard Speck, Charles Manson, Charles Whitman, Jeffrey Dahmer, Son of Sam, H. H. Holmes. Of course there was the

      Yes, many of the nations mass murderers have been white, so have many of the serial killers.

      If you tell me that the MSM does not try to tie violent acts to the Tea Party, then your head is up your butt. They just did it this morning,. they did it when the plane hit the IRS building, when the failed bombing in NY, the Gabby Gifford shooting.

      As far as Andrew Brevick. You are a ball face liar when you call him a conservative. You are trying to lead people to think he is an “American Conservative”. He was a socialist. he is a Nazi. Nazi folks are socialist. he had no ties to our constitution, to the tea party, to our brand of conservatives where we believe in lower taxes and sticking to the constitution.

      Your comment “Andrew Brevick guy – a conservative Christian – who murdered a bunch of teenage liberals. Who have I missed?”

      Brevick was not more Christian any more than I am an astronaut. He listed himself as a Free Mason, but there was nothing “Christian” about him,.

      Notice when a Muslim commits mass murder, other Muslims make a hero of them,. Remember the Lockerby bomber. Remember how Arabs the world over celebrated when they ran into the twin towers?

      Show me one Christian church in America that defended Brevick? Just one. Every Christian I know is willing to put him in the electric chair, and throw the juice to him.

      Let us look at your libs though. Check out Bill Ayers. He blew up bombs in our subways, claimed he wanted to murder literally millions of conservative Americans,. Your lib buddies defend him, and your Obama declared the run for his senate seat in the house of Ayers.

      How many conservative Christians go hang out at the prison and burn candles for evil murdering trash, when the state puts them in the chair? It is your godless lib buddies that morn for the evil killers and defend them.

      Yes, the connection to this mass murder to the Tea Party should be condemned. The guy is just crazy.

      But where is the outrage against Michelle Bachman’s slanderous accusations againt Huma Abedin? Why isn’t Beck commenting on that? Nobody here at least seems concerned about a US Congressman accusing a solid American citizen of treason based only on the fact that her name sounds kinda funny. Yes, the threat is from within, something Rod Serling saw quite clearly when he wrote “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street” a story, thankfully read by many high school students.
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Monsters_Are_Due_on_Maple_Street
      But the threat is not from Muslims, it’s from Americans spreading paranoia and apealling to prejudice. Which is exactly what Bachman is doing.

      Here’s what long time Republican operative, and Bachmann’s campaign manager concluded in an op-ed about her remarks:

      “As a member of Congress, with a seat on the House Intelligence Committee, Mrs. Bachmann you know better. Shame on you, Michele! You should stand on the floor of the House and apologize to Huma Abedin and to Secretary Clinton and to the millions of hard working,loyal, Muslim Americans for your wild and unsubstantiated charges. As a devoted Christian, you need to ask forgiveness for this grievous lack of judgment and reckless behavior.”

      Yes, the monsters are due on Main Street.

      Perp, thanks for posting a link that you think support your belief that blacks are inferior and violent. That’s a start. Maybe you’re starting to think twice before trying to justify your bigotry with invented facts. Own up Perp, you just hate blacks. But let’s look at your link.

      First, you said the 50% of murders committed “last year” were committed by blacks. Your link only shows data to 2005, seven years ago. So you lied. Or perhaps you have another link about murders committed by black “last year.” Otherwise I suppose everybody here will just assume you are a liar in additions to being a plagiarist.

      Second, you double down on your lies by saying that “Blacks have been hitting right around the 50% of murders in the US for over a decade.” Actually the link you provided says that homicides by blacks was ~20%, not the 50% you claim. Another lie. http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/content/homicide/tables/vracetab.cfm

      I don‘t want to say you’re lying again. I think it could be you are simply too dim to read graphs and tables. Maybe you can help me out there and help me decide which it is.

      A few other comments. You‘re misguided to try to claim that Brevich wasn’t a Christian and conservative, given that he wrote extensively on those subjects as well as his hatred of black and Muslims. Just like you!

      Also, the correct term is “bald faced lie” not “ball faced.”

      Guess who else has a name that sounds funny? Barack Hussein Obama has a funny sounding name. Sounds Muslim to me. Oh, guess what? His dad and step dad where both Muslim. Obama was raised in an Indonesian Muslim School. No wonder he seems so friendly with the Muslim Brotherhood, no wonder he claimed America to not be a Christian nation, but did claim it to be a Muslim Nation.

      Not only does he have a funny name, he hangs out with some funny folks. Already mentioned his tie to Bill Ayers the American Terrorist. How about him being mentored by a known communist. Old Frank was a card carrying communist, and helped shape Obama views on many topics.

      http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2869201/posts
      Yep, there are some very well known mass murders who are white. The extreme left wing Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin come to mind right away. There are also some Hispanic mass murders that jump out there too. Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, and we could go further regarding dictators of various nations of South and Central America.
      It was believed that only whites in this country became serial killers until Wayne Williams began to terrorize Atlanta, GA from 1979 through 1981. That case turned statistics on their ear. Unfortunately all races in the U.S. are starting to make themselves known in these statistics. And, I’m sure it has not stopped with the DC Sniper and his partner. How many Mexican citizens have been mowed down by the drug cartels? It seems to these Hispanics that human life is worth about as much as you place on the unborn.

Just as the concept that Nazism, and Fascism true forms of government seem so foreign to you. You’ve illustrated how your education has indoctrinated you with obvious lies. As far as anything being foreign to you, your statements about a week ago absolutely jumped off the screen when you had no idea how commercial and industrial businesses have differing tiers of utility billings, and how they are charged vastly more in taxes and fees when it comes to road usage, and are billed heavily when their nearby roads are repaved. Take a look at any of the tractor trailer trucks criss crossing this nation supplying the public with goods. See all of the license plates, stickers, and decals? That is the proof of the massive taxes and fees the owners pay in all of the states they operate. You and I have a state to state reciprocity to free drive from state to state, but not these guys.
      Okay, back to the Nazis being right wingers as you have said in the past.

Considering Homes likely being associated with the Black Bloc element of the OWS, I would make a minor correction to your theory. They are the true useful idiots who have been so heavily INDOCTRINATED by their professors. My son often complains of certain classes that are not at all related to their class requirements.

      God’s love is wonderful. I feel it in my life. If God loves, does he also hate?
      I am not sure. I have heard the saying hate the sin and not the sinner. In the bible God declares his hate for people by name, which is interesting and not often taught. I do not know much about Westboro Baptist Church besides that they seem to be a little crazy. Most of us are a little crazy.

      Here is something I found on their webpage that I personally will spend time researching, you may enjoy the study as well.

      JZS,

      In typical lib fashion, you lost the debate, and now you make up lies, and attribute statements from me that I never said.

      “which is the basis for your belief that blacks are genetically more violent than whites ” This was your statement, and never came from me, and was never insinuated by me.

      Skin color has nothing to do with violence. I do not believe that such a thing exists, nor do I believe in a genetic or atavistic criminal.

      Our media wants to magnify white crime, and hide black crime. It happens all the time. Currently in this nation, blacks are killing blacks at an alarming rate. Do you hear any outcry from the lib media? they try in vain to show that there is an epidemic of white on black crime, but statistically it is the reverse.

      The liberal welfare programs has all but destroyed the black family in America. Libs could not keep them on one plantation, so they moved blacks to another. Blacks now see one in seven babies born to single parent homes, they send more males to prison than to college, and we already know the murder stats. Oh yea, last year looked just like 2005, you can pull the numbers, just not the graphs. Research yourself, and you might stop relying on me and learn to do it for yourself.

      As fare as “hating Muslims”. One of us has lived for a number of years in Muslim nations. One of us literally has shed sweat, blood, and tears making their country safer, from their own violence and chaos. That someone is not

      I’ll try a fourth time to post again on this topic to see if I am truly locked out of this thread. I’m not blaming the editors – this isn’t my website and they can let me post or not. I’m surprised they let me post as much as they do, given I’m not too kind to either Glenn Beck or this website.

      RJ says, “It was believed that only whites in this country became serial killers until Wayne Williams began to terrorize Atlanta, GA from 1979 through 1981.” Who are these people who believed that? Now, when you make up stuff like that RJ, I have to wonder why you think you a) why no one will call BS on you and b) why you simply think you can invent facts out of thin air and expect anyone to believe you. Seriously, there were no white serial killers in the US before around 1980? H. H. Holmes, Richard Speck, Ed Gein? I’m not even going to look it up.

      RJ, I don’t know how to respond to people whose opinions are simply invented out of thin air, or based on someone else who made them out of thin air.

      Perp, yeah, the people who read this website will agree with you that I ” lost the debate.” Of course they will. You know better though don’t you? You understand.

      You’ve made a good start by saying that, “Skin color has nothing to do with violence.” You won’t get much support here for that opinion, so I admire you for expressing it.
