Brian is a seasoned reporter.
Brian was not reporting, he was speculating with other peoples lives and reputations.
Brian should absolutely be fired.
Brian's employers should also be held accountable because they were not reporting the news, they are creating the news.
Brian sucks.
Brian's employers ABC schmooz sucks.

ABC's Brian Ross came under attack Friday when he reported that James Holmes, the suspect of the theater shooting in Aurora, Colo., may have connections to the tea party — basing that on a single web page that listed an Aurora-based “Jim Holmes” as a member of the Colorado Tea Party Patriots, leaving some in the media to say he should be fired for reckless reporting. Do you agree? Should Ross be fired for the blunder or not?
Please rave this post.
Please rave this post.
He did not misreport anything.
He said there was a Jim Holmes in Aurora who is a Tea Party member . . . And there is a Jim Holmes in Aurora who is a Tea Party member.
Should he be fired for accurate reporting?
I don't think so.
Let's see his lie.
Give me the quote.
Can't do it?
That's what I thought . . . LIAR.
Why do Right Wingers Lie so much?
Does anyone know ?
I edited my college/university newspapers, and had a reporter come to me with such a flimsy connection, I'd have sent the person back to do his/her due diligence. If a college kid could claim such standards, shouldn't it be expected of the "professionals" in the field?
He said nothing inaccurate.
Give me his exact quote . . . the one you find so offensive.
Show me what was so wrong about what he said.
He was merely speculating. He never defintively said the Jim Holmes, the Tea Party member, was Jim Holmes the shooter.
He merely suggested the possibility. After all, James Holmes the shooter lived in Aurora Colorado. And so does James Holmes the Tea Partier.
What's so horrible about that?
Sure, he should not have made that speculation on the air, but he never said anything that was incorrect or nonfactual did he?
On the other hand, Lying is the default behavior for you lying Right Wing Nut Jobs.
. . . Know what I mean ?? LIAR
ABC reported information as it came in. And they reported accurately.
They said nothing inaccurate.
They offered no opinions either.
It was nobody's opinion that a Tea Party member named Jim Holmes lives in Aurora, CO.
That is fact.
And I do my job much better than GW Romney would do if he became President.
Face it pissypoet, Right Wing Nut Jobs are America's Enemy Number One.
They're just too dumb to know it.
I don't see that as lashing out.
is named Bane because it is going to make people associate the villain with Bain Capital an not vote for Romney, should he be fired. Well... Limbaugh has said so many stupid things over the years. I would have fired him for any one of those.
This is what's wrong with Americans today. We act like little children and refuse to take responsibility for ourselves. It's always someone else's fault, someone else's responsibility, etc. it's EXACTLY like what a rwnj would say.
I don't believe that was a mistake. It was simply a drive by reporting, as Rush often says. Put it out there and later issue the correction but only if other people prove ABC and Brian wrong. The problem is that many hard core leftists will refuse to believe the retraction.
He reported the facts.
