I am no fan of Brian Ross and I feel no sympathy whatsoever if security took what they thought were appropriate measures against a reporter acting too aggressively. Ross’s version of events here.

My displeasure with Ross originates with his wildly inaccurate reporting from 2006 on Dennis Hastert being “in the mix” of those being investigated for ties to Jack Abramoff, ties that were never established.

Under Ross reporting standards, all Bachmann security needed was reasonable doubt that Ross was “in the mix” of some possible threat to Bachmann. Case closed.
