ABC Has Lost Their Minds
« on: June 26, 2008, 06:15:38 PM »
I USED to think ABC made at heast a half-potato'ed attempt to be reasonably bananced in their reporting (still 15 degrees left, but better than the other 2 "old" old networks), but that has flewn right out the window...

Guess who is sitting in for Charles Gibson? 

George Stephenopolis...the former Clinton Aide.

You have GOT to be flippin' KIDDING ME!

Why don't they just let John Kerry do the news...or even John Edwards?  Jeesh!  Why not let Hillary do the flippin' newscasts this week!

This network needs to get flushed--by viewers complaining to the advertizers.

Hey--don't get me wrong.  I went to college for Radio/TV/Film, did 25 years on the air in radio.  I'm not talking from just a viewer's prospective but someone who put in a full career in the media.

If you are doing the news:

  A) Speak the truth
  B) Have No Bias
  C) Tell BOTH sides of the story

ABC has gone over the deep end.


Its sad to see that.

I'm wondering how you feel about Karl Rove as a political analyst for Fox News.

stephi has been a political news commenter for a decade.  Always seemed like a decent guy to me, even if predisposed to left leaning lunacy  :aok

Yea, I never like the guy but he has been at the job a long time, so it's not the same as pulling some political guy in out of no where.

there's something wrong with your link. It's a link to the NEW YORK TIMES, the most left wing liberal paper in America. Base your source off something OTHER than the NYT.

Are you so brain dead you can't use a search engine to find a second source for yourself, or does Fox News have to spoon feed it to you, straight from the Gerber baby food bottle?

You have quite obviously lost the plot.

I dont watch the news frequently, I'm 15 and I'm smart enough to know that I only watch it about once, twice a week, sometimes not even that. I watch FOX, NBC, CNN but I'm smart enough to know this stuff, and are you trying to state that the NYT is fair and balanced, that it reports both sides of stories? That it DOESNT run ANY story to make the soldiers in Iraq look bad for 61 consecutive days?? It seems to me that you are brain-dead.

Here, if you want proof of that the New York Times is Liberal? Here ya go.

No one said the NY Post isn't liberal, just like no one can argue Fox News doesn't lean to the right. I simply told you to use your brain and look it up for your self if you don't like what he provided. Don't use "only 15" as an excuse for anything other than you can't drive by your self. At 15 I was out working everyday after school and started my first business mowing lawns, soon as I got my drivers license @ 16.

The point is, use the available resources to look it up and find it out for yourself and never use age as an excuse of why you can't do something that's not age restricted.

ABC news took a nice dive when Mr. Jennings passed on.  I loved his reporting...

Georgie was a better idea than putting Katie Couric on the CBS evening news.  Monumental tanking in the ratings.

So, somehow, I should be using your child-hood as an example to live mine?  :huh

The answer is obviously yes.

I don't trust any news source anymore, I listen to it as I would any other entertainment venue.
