“Real journalists” really, really want the story of the Sandy Hook father who was “heckled” by gun rights supporters to be true, even though it most definitely is not. There’s no basis for perpetuating the lie at this point, and even some lefty outlets like Slate, after watching the unedited video, are admitting they got the story wrong. Did CNN’s Anderson Cooper just get the memo? Tonight he tweeted that father Neil Heslin was “shouted down,” and then deleted the tweet.
.@andersoncooper So dishonest of you to delete your tweet without acknowledging the truth. But I guess that's how #realjournalists roll.

No worries, @andersoncooper. We'll have your deleted tweet up shortly at http://t.co/I0l7Sulj so everyone can see what you did.

@michellemalkin @andersoncooper Thank you, Michelle, for holding left-leaning media accountable. About time we call them on their misinfo.

#SandyHook parent wasn't "shouted down" as I said in previous tweet. He asked for response and audiences members gave it and were admonished

That wasn’t so hard, was it?

Gun-grabber Piers “Musket” Morgan, outraged over the “heckling” incident that didn’t happen, is scheduled to have Heslin on his show tonight. Will Cooper pass along his newfound knowledge of the truth?
If @cnn allows @piersmorgan to perpetuate the “heckling” lie, the entire network is corrupt.

Now that Cooper has said that the Sandy Hook father wasn't booed, I wonder if @PiersMorgan will retract?

.@andersoncooper I have perfect candidates for your #Ridiculist tonight! YOU & @piersmorgan for your reckless handling of heckling story.
