Sadly, instead of imparting truthful information about the Colorado shooting, our TV and newspaper media has gone into full liberal attack mode. Right after the name of the accused shooter, James Holmes, was made public the blame game started. On ABC’s hugely popular Good Morning America program, reporter Brian Ross, told George Stephanopoulos that a James Holmes was a member of the Tea Party.
Now why in the World would a supposedly un-biased TV reporter be going through the membership of the Tea Party for a massacre suspect? This left the millions of Good Morning America viewers with an impression of Tea Party blame.
Then we see on PBS, which is an American taxpayer supported TV channel, their most famous TV personality, Bill Moyers, blindly blaming the NRA for helping to bring about the Colorado shootings. American taxpayers of all political beliefs support this public, supposedly unbiased network. Now anyone that has listened to the truly left-wing liberal NPR (National Public Radio) would come to expect these liberal rants from it’s commentators, but not from PBS.
If old-time journalists of the caliber of a Brian Ross and a Bill Moyers are any indication of the state of TV newscasting then heaven help us. Maybe we should just start putting up newstands and start selling the Communist Chinese “People’s Daily” newspaper.

No criticism of the fear-mongering by the GOP, or the comparisons being made between Holmes and Obama by right wingers
"Holmes killed 12 ,the media is outraged. Obama killed thousands, gets a Nobel Prize"
I wonder why the blatant bias...
OH HI LEON!!!
Sorry, didn't recognize your letter, as it is grammatically correct (mostly), and not in ALL CAPS.

You know, Leon,
Where normally I record the Sunday morning news-talk shows, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN to view later on at my leisure, this past Sunday I deleted them all without watching a single one. I did catch Zakaria on the Daily Show. He talked about the relatively hopelessness of the revolution in Syria. Not a word about Aurora!

Well, Zakarias along with Sanja Gupta and what's her name Christiane Amenapour are on a "Crusade" against Assad. They won't be happy until he is eviscerated in the Public Square.
CNN has become the MSNBC of the Liberal Left. They were disappointed that the (their) ..."Arab Spring" ...turned into the ....."Islamists Spring" and are now, along with Wolf Blitzer and Anderson Cooper on full "attack mode" against the Syrian Regime.
Assad won't last forever then ....CNN can join their co-horts....lol....MSNBC in going after Mitt Romney so that their ....MESSIAH = Barack Hussein Obam...can be re-elected to finish turning America into a 3rd World Socialist Nation.

Leon,
I take it that you support Assad! You seem to defend him against those whom you perceive to be his antagonists. Assad is in tight with Russia, too. Do you support Russia?
Just what is all of your fussing about? Assad heads up a government that favors his particular minority against a Christian and Sunni majority. Assad has been close to Ahmadenijad, too. It's a majority opposition taken to the streets that we are witnessing. And where as in Libya the army under Khadafi had no foreign support [but for some African mercenaries] in Syria Assad has the Soviet Union [arms supplier] and China on his side [China needs Syrian oil]. Now there's a group of real human rights champions!
So how about it Leon? What are you fussing about?

Sadly, what most people view as a tragedy some Liberals view as a opportunity to push their agenda. The night before Obama spoke in Tucson about that shooting Keith Olbermann on MSNBC talked about Obama having " a golden opportunity to enlighten people about his political views ". Just like letting guns walk across the border getting an agent killed so you can use it as an example of why we need tighter guns laws!

Leon,
I'm never surprised by the lengths liberal/progressives will go to in blaming, accusing or vilifing others that do not agree with them.

Leon Ceniceros,
You are right that ABC News Media tried to create a link between conservatives and the shooting 70 people in Aurora, Colorado.
ABC News investigative reporter Brian Ross took the fact that the man arrested and accused of committing mass murder in a crowded movie theater in Aurora, Colorado was named James Holmes . . . And then suggested, on air, that James Holmes might be a member of the Colorado Tea Party Patriots.
Because there is a man by the name of James Holmes, who is a member of the Tea Party in Colorado, ABC apologized for the report and admitted that it hadn’t been properly vetted.
People in the Liberal media are in the business of manufacturing propaganda.

Take out the word "Liberal" if you believe in accuracy, Accuracy.

I bet Accuracy had no problem with that guy who patched the video together of those ACORN people to make it look like they did and said things that they did not.
Doing that sort of thing, if it hurts liberals, is fine.
Jumping to a conclusion against righties though ... O M G how terrible.
Did the right wingers apologize for the faked video(s)?
NO THEY DID NOT.
Did ABC apologize when the realized they made a mistake?
YES THEY DID.
See the difference boys and girls?
Arizona Willie posted at 9:51 am on Sat, Jul 28, 2012.
chatmandu .. I would also remind you that it was a right winger who manufactured videos of ACORN making it appear that they did and said things that they did not.
IT WAS PROVEN.
And you talk about liberals going to any lengths to villify conservatives?
Liberals have never faked evidence ( as far as I know ) like the faked video tapes of ACORN.
Limbaugh and associates LIE every day on the air but you think that is just fine.
