Do NOT miss the Jon Stewart video below where he is SKEWERING of ABCs Brian Ross for his LIE. Brooke has it at her wonderful blog and I swiped it because Mustang sent me this article and they complimented each other, BUT VIACOM HAS BLOCKED IT SINCE I PUBLISHED IT LAST NIGHT so you'll have to click on her link here and see it, it's SO well worth it. Can't let their hero look bad! BY THE WAY...VIACOM HASN'T BLOCKED MANY, MANY JON STEWART VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE...WHY DO YOU SUPPOSE THIS ONE SKEWERING BRIAN ROSS GOT AXED? ODD?
But please read this first.....we all need to know what's going on....
But please read this first.....we all need to know what's going on....
Media assumptions that violence is right wing are routine — and routinely wrong.
On Friday morning, Brian Ross of ABC News speculated on live TV that James Holmes, the accused killer in Aurora, Colo., was a member of the Tea Party. A few hours later, Ross posted a short apology online; Holmes had no Tea Party connection.
Ross’ unfounded speculation wasn’t unusual (although the speed of his apology was). This was merely the latest case of media commentators jumping to the conclusion that violent atrocities should be attributed to members of the political right. Let’s look back at how often the media has falsely invoked Tea Partiers and other “right-wing nut jobs” in the past few years.
* September 2009: The discovery of hanged census-taker Bill Sparkman in rural Kentucky fueled media speculation that anti-government Tea Partiers had killed him. In fact, he’d killed himself and staged his corpse to look like a homicide so his family could collect on life insurance.
* February 2010: Joe Stack flew his small plane into an IRS building in Austin, Texas. The media immediately suggested that the anti-tax rhetoric of the Tea Party led to the attack. In fact, Stack’s suicide note quoted the Communist Manifesto.
* That same month, a professor at the University of Alabama, Amy Bishop, shot and killed three colleagues at a faculty meeting. The gun-loving Tea Party came under immediate suspicion. But Bishop was a lifelong Democrat and Obama donor.
* March 2010: John Patrick Bedell shot two Pentagon security officers at close range. The media went wild with speculation that a right-wing extremist had reached the end of his rope. Bedell turned out to be a registered Democrat and 9/11 Truther.
* May 2010: New York authorities disarmed a massive car bomb in Times Square. Mayor Bloomberg immediately speculated that the bomber was someone upset about the president’s new health-care law. The media trumpeted the idea that crazed conservatives had (again, they implied) turned to violence. In fact, the perp was Faisal Shahzad, an Islamic extremist.
* August 2010: Amidst the debate over the Ground Zero Mosque, Michael Enright stabbed a Muslim cab driver in the neck. It was immediately dubbed an “anti-Muslim stabbing,” with “rising Islamophobia” on the political right to blame. In fact, Enright, a left-leaning art student, had worked with a firm that produced a pro-mosque statement.
* September 2010: James Lee, 43, took three hostages at the Discovery Channel’s headquarters in Maryland. The media speculation was unstoppable: Lee was surely a “climate-change denier” who’d resorted to violence. Oops: He was an environmentalist who viewed humans as parasites on the Earth.
* January 2011: Jared Lee Loughner went on a rampage in Tucson, Ariz. Again, the media knew just who to blame: the Tea Party and its extremist rhetoric. In fact, Loughner was mostly apolitical — a conspiracy theorist who, to date, has been judged too mentally incompetent to stand trial.
The media’s habitual blaming of the political right is endemic and incurable. Media figures sincerely believe the right wing is violent, so naturally assume that violent people must be right wing. This won’t be the last time they make that mistake.*** (see below) (Z: by the way, the majority of that's only in one year, don't forget)

Uh, oh.
A few of your commenters here are going to have meltdowns. Hehehe.
This is why over half of the country no longer trusts the press. They've done it to themselves.

Since their days as the majority of KKK (and before), Democrats, the left and Socialists/Communists have projected their philosophies on conervatives.
They do the deeds and then yell, "Look at what those right wing kooks did!"
It is a consistant pattern with them and it persists today in the persons of Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Frank, the MSM and the others.
Inquiring minds want to know.
Is Steve, Tom,Liberalman, and Shaw the same person, although they have different names. If that's what these Idiots want us to believe, then fine.
But you've already proved you're an idiot with your original post, why bother to try to convince anyone any further!
Red meat today, eh, Z? ;)
Time and time again we see the most violent of perps are leftists. This surprises no one but the left, and you can easily see how angry they get when their narrative isn't fulfilled.
The vid isn't working, but it still is at my site, here.
Ross got the smear out there to the goldfish-attention-span public, then did a half-assed 'apology'. Mission accomplished.
Don't forget that Michael Enright had just come back from being embedded with American troops in Afghanistan.
Also, how does quoting the Manifesto necessarily make one a Communist?
This is why over half of the country no longer trusts the press. They've done it to themselves.

z trusts Glenn Beck implicitly.
I think ABC and therest of the MSM know exactly what they are doing. They intentionally putout the wrong story that fits their agenda. The apology, they know, will not ne noticed.
According to interpol You are 39 Times more likely To be the victim of an attacked by a leftist terrorist then 1 from the right
and I wished Obama had come out after each incident like he did after the Fort Hood Shooting and say what he said then "Let's not jump to conclusions".
In reality he is secretly loving those "jump to conclusions" statement in all those other incidents.
IT'S ALL SARAH PALIN'S FAULT!!!!!!!!
AOW, I don't do this to elicit meltdowns, I just try to get the facts out.
But, you're right; posts with facts like these are like waving a cross at a vampire; meltdown!
SF...they really have. More of America needs the truth.
Mr AOW, thanks! Proud to have been linked!
Joe..the left's completely managed to make it look like WE are the racists and THEY finalized Civil Rights law :-) SO, it works both ways. Anything wonderful and it's THEIR DOING, anything BAD and it's ours.
And it's been going on for years and we didn't notice until it was almost too late. Probably IS too late, look at our uneducated moron teens interviewed beaches who don't know who the VP is, etc....and who still like Obama!! Althought, more and more, notsomuch, I'm seeing.
Jarhead, I hope you're being sarcastic about my proving myself an idiot!? :)
Brooke...OUR red meat, your video ROCKED. thanks again for the find.
my video isn't working? I'll check. It didn't work for me at your place the other day, or at YouTube for the longest time. I'm hoping that could mean TRAFFIC "PEOPLE ARE SEEING IT"
Ducky...Beck? Gee, who knew?
When is he on?
Con Fire...of COURSE! And Obama does the same THING! He lies, he knows the media won't repeat or correct and he knows many voters heard him!!
Did you know Brian Ross only apologized on the internet and not on TV, where'd made the irresponsible suggested that the shooter was a middle aged Tea Party member?
Any Republican would have lost his job.
And, of course, any leftwinger like Juan Williams, would have lost HIS job had the subject been one that reflected badly on the LEFT, remember NPR firing Williams?
Liberalmann...it's a little too late to start sucking up here, trust me.
but, thanks....too bad Americans don't know that.
Obama's life depends on these lies...right, Lisa? HE isn't going to do that!!
BROOKE IS RIGHT...see the video at her place;
VIACOM SHUT IT DOWN.
'coincidence?' (Ya, right)
I JUST CHECKED; viacom has blocked this particular Stewart slam on Ross.
I checked for other Jon Stewart videos owned by Viacom by virtue of their owning Stewart's contract: Did Stewart go too far in offending the Left?
Suddenly, this morning, it's not available, but as I updated on my blog, Brooke's is somehow still there though YouTube has finally blocked it permanently.
Please see it at Brooke's...
LISA!!

You found THE COOLEST VIDEO!
EVERYBODY...check out the video at Lisa's...it's absolutely perfect. And SEND IT TO YOUR FRIENDS!
At one time I thought liberals were just ignorant, but their behavior is much more complex. In any given discussion they are likely to stick to their preconceived ideas rather than considering factual information that can contradict and upset their arguments.
In addition liberals are more likely to be malicious in trying to get their points across. That's why otherwise intelligent people do and say stupid things like Brian Ross. Even though there is no evidence of violence on the part of the many Tea Party's, Ross wanted to smear the most important grass roots political movement since the Revolution.
He and other liberals hate and fear the TP so much they would do ANYTHING to discredit the many TP's.
The liberals' best argument is the lie.
z trusts Glenn Beck implicitly.
What's not to trust?
Liberals are just anti-anti. Period.
If they were intellectually honest, Chick-Fil-A wouldn't be the ONLY thing that they boycotted.
They have no ideas of there own. They accept no ideas that aren't their own. And if you propose a way of solving a problem, the only response they know is...
And if you included the jihadis who leftists like italy's red army have created alliances with the number gets very large
That you, Farmer?
Que?
Por cierto, mi patito rojo-rojito.
There you go again....with your liberal pot shots. And while we are asking questions.
How about your "boy" releasing his Tax records? There is no place for secrecy or, privacy in a Presidential campaign. If you want the job, you have to subject yourself to the scrutiny, period..
Republiscums said the same nonsense when Hilary Clinton ran for the presidency.
History will show that the Republiscums was responsible for the USA becoming a second class nation in 25 years.
I agree with Steve. President Obama should immediately release all the un-doctored records he’s concealed from the American public since 2008.
How about your boy release his transcripts and the fast and furious records
How about Reid and Pelosi Release their tax records
How about obama Why he invested Can companies that outsource jobs
Or why Bain Capital Is 1 of the biggest donors and bundlers 4 the obama campaign
Obama's not 'your boy' he's our president
It’s Mr. President to you..
No matter what your opinion is of our President, he is the leader of our nation and ... Is it racist and hateful to call the President of the United States a " Boy" and to call our First Lady "Wookie" !
That goes fir ALL you racist wingnuts out there!
I was flattering Steve by using the same language stupid.
Romney Deserves the same respect.
Tell me why Obama And other democrat have off shore accounts?
By the way does using bold letters mean something?
And you're right he's not my boy
I'll keep it in mind the next time I hear bush called a chimp or hitler
Ever heard of psychological reciprocity ?
EzzZee, I used to feel the same way...but when someone's lying and pulling socialism on THIS COUNTRY? NO way.
By the way, George Clooney gave a FOX reporter THE blackest look from a Red Carpet appearance, stopping, clouding over, and saying "he's MR OBAMA, he's your PRESIDENT"
I Googled and found Clooney call George Bush "BUSH" constantly...so let's not get QUITE so sanctimonious on titles, okay? thanks.
It was fine for Clooney but not find for anybody who can't STAND Obama.
EzzZee, We lived with ALL the Libs on these boards calling George Bush just about every derogatory name in the books, now, YOU live with it..
The "MULLAH IN CHIEF" won't be around after November's election anyway, It's time to get the communist clan out of White House. So don't get your panties in a wad, it hurts.
Commenters: Please make sure that the lefties don't do their job and distract from THE POST.
It's a lot of fun to read their stuff and kind of sad to see people so crude and mean-hearted, but that does draw attention away from the information in the posts and it shouldn't.....don't let them earn their pay.
Let's make sure we remember what the media's doing and WHY. All the points in the post are true, all the information's important and the diversion attempts are only going to get worse as the election draws nigh, particularly the paid-stoolies for the DNC.
By the way, what I'm beginning to notice now are articles about Mormons....it dawned on me when I started to see these what that's about :-)
It's going to get ugly....ignore and pity them... whatever you want to do.
But please focus on the information in the posts...thanks
It didn't surprise me how quickly the MSM immediately wanted to blame someone from the Tea Party, because we are threat to them and conservative reporters as well. Why? Because we tell the truth and the Left are incapable of dealing with and handling the truth.
The MSM has lost touch with reality and have become a network of buffoons that have lost sight of what true journalism is.
Too many times they have jumped to the wrong conclusion and then must retract their erroneous blabbering.
I enjoy those Stewart moments. He's an equal opportunity comedian, so he stings a bit when he hits someone on the right, but he IS funny.
Jon Stewart telling it like it is????
I must be in a parallel universe!
Why? Because most are loons and as we all know they exist mainly on the right, lol!
Check out the hundreds of examples here:

Libmann....NeoNazis have nothing to do with the Right...you are the fascists, sadly, wanting to deny rights...take away freedoms.
but good try.

Do you mean that Liberalmann is your real name? LOL
Sgt...he likes to play the games.
GOod point!
by the way, as if Hitler wasn't a fascist leftist!? Even leftist WIKIPEDIA had to admit fascists started this awful movement with "left wing and right wing ideology!"
If this White House isn't radically authoritarian with their sneaky nontransparency and lies, I don't know what is!
We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions." --Adolf Hitler (Speech of May 1, 1927. Quoted by Toland, 1976, p. 306) elow is the 25 of the NSDAP
I'm the real Liberalmann and I'm a Socialist
Lib-Mann: "The last two posts in my name were by the imposters."
Oh OK Now I get it. I was beginning to think you were suffering from another personality disorder.
"There is no place for secrecy or, privacy in a Presidential campaign. If you want the job, you have to subject yourself to the scrutiny, period.."
Hey Bama boy....you do realize you're making a complete ass of yourself, don't you? When your "boy."...releases his for the world to see just what he's really accomplished....then you might have an argument.
We already know Mitts history.
Sybil Liberal, that's what was proven again and again.
Listening to NPR in the 1990's,
I heard how they were going to destroy the institute of marriage (it was only for bloodlines), and how they were going to sneakin the farms and contaminate the stock feed to cause more mad cow diseases so they would have more cases to squeak about. (BOTH CAME TRUE)
I heard them say they were going to arm themselves---so, don't think when our guns are taken they won't still have theirs.
Here Duck turd...no doubt you'd welcome any fascist so long as he's...a "progressive" asshole.
"Bloomberg bans sodas, Menino and Rahm Emanuel turn city governments into fascist fists strangling the freedom of thought.
And the world dances merrily on. Officials who behave as Menino and Emanuel and Bloomberg behave are not American, in the deepest sense of what it means to be an American."
I don’t know about y’all, but I’m going to Chick-Fil-A on August 1st. Twice, if I can. I’ve had more than enough of these thugs. Here's hoping that Menino doesn't get fisted in P Town by Barney.
you know, everybody, I'm having a hard enough time getting the libs to stop the hideous language...
let's all watch it.
Imp...if we had a Chick-Fil-A around here, I'd be eatin' there, that's for sure. Why can't a company stand up for values it supports.
Well, I'll tell you why; because the left changes a comment like "we honor traditional values and feel they're better for society" to "we hate anybody who's gay".
THis is REALLY seriously damaging to free speech. And they're supposed to be the big proponents!? "SHUT DOWN FREE SPEECH FROM THE RIGHT" is the leftist view of free speech, apparently
It's the Marcusian way Z.
he did a lot of harm and still IS!
We on the right are a despicable bunch.
ALL POSTS HERE UNDER THE NAME LIBERALMANN ARE BY AN IMPOSTER WHO IS TOO STUPID AND COWARDLY TO GIVE HIS REAL NAME.
YOU CAN TELL HE IS AN IMPOSTER BY CLICKING HIS NAME AND SEE THAT HE 'JOINED' IN JULY. I JOINED IN JANUARY.
THE ONLY POST I MADE IN THIS THREAD WAS DELETED.
It's a link which proves most violent crime is instigated and committed by the loony right. Hundreds of examples:

There is another "Steve" out there, not me. Easy to tell it's not me, except for you gullible nitwits.
Although I enjoy the fact that the 2nd Steve also has all you paranoids jumping. Thanks for another laugh. I always laugh at your stupidity
If we ignore communist china soviet union and every other forms of dictatorship then the right might be responsible
But then again interpol has no axe to grind
Steve, nobody's laughing harder than we are!!
Littlemann, The IP addresses are the same. Whine and gash all you want, you're both the same dude.
Click the name Liberalmann and you will see the imposter joined July 2012 and I joined January. The creep's name is Eddie Lowenstein from Orange County CA. What his phone number?
Doesn't work that way dinglenerry...sitemeter does not include phone numbers but you'd know that if you'd invest in your own blog. Take your punk ass home.
