Trigger-happy media blame every crisis on perceived right-wingers

In most cases they never admit a mistake no matter whose life it ruins: in the Florida shooting, George Zimmerman was tagged as a "white" villain in the national media seemingly within seconds of the incident. Finding they'd blown it for the 100th time along such lines, the media "corrected" themselves, proclaiming this "Hitler of the month" a "white hispanic". They're really quite the anthropologists, aren't they? Never mind that under other conditions Mr. Z is of the kind they would hail as the very embodiment of "diversity" -- it's a small world after all, tra-la!

Are you sitting down? In the case of the ghastly slaying in Colorado this morning -- almost certainly a CIA-type -- they rushed to press the perp into the TEA Party mold. Any old port in a storm, and a storm is what you get when you mix shocking violent crime with leftwing media fetishes.

This time they were wrong and they had to apologize:

ABC News and Brian Ross are apologizing for an "incorrect" report that James Holmes, the suspect in the Colorado theater shooting, may have had connections to the Tea Party.
"An earlier ABC News broadcast report suggested that a Jim Holmes of a Colorado Tea Party organization might be the suspect, but that report was incorrect," ABC News said in a statement. "ABC News and Brian Ross apologize for the mistake, and for disseminating that information before it was properly vetted."
In a similar statement released minutes earlier, ABC News said the report was "incorrect" but did not include the apology. "Several other local residents with similar names were also contacted via social media by members of the public who mistook them for the suspect," the initial statement read.

  How do I know they had to? I know 'em pretty well.   /\/.\/\/.
