As Twitchy reported, leftist media hacks were tying themselves in knots over the story of Newtown father Neil Heslin being heckled during his emotional testimony at a Connecticut legislative meeting. Just one minor detail: the heckling never happened. And to the best of our knowledge, not one member of the media pushing this hoax has apologized. But as blogger extraordinaire Ace of Spades demonstrates, the lying liars have got plenty to be sorry about:
Only two sorts of people can fail to be embarrassed by this latest hoax: http://t.co/zT3fmt63

The dishonest and venal, who are beyond shame, and the stupid, who don't know enough to know they ought to be embarrassed. Choose.

The media claims the creed of "If your mother says she loves you, get a second source" but they RT @erichboehlert sans the most basic check

"No enemies to the left" = "not a drop of skepticism towards the left"

@AceofSpadesHQ He's their second source. Their first is their own opinions. It all adds up.

Heard they're remaking this film with media playing the docile and submissive housewives. Satire.http://t.co/KAkj6tFd@AceofSpadesHQ

Will you retract or do you believe Useful Claims are Definitionally True, like the Birthers you claim superiority over? @davidfrum
