Did anyone see the ABC WH reporter after the debate last night say none of the

[Peregrine Took]

candidates, in his opinion, could beat trump.

Very depressing.

I don't know his name - middle aged white guy with glasses -but he's a prominent WH reporter so his opinion is worth analyzing.

If I knew his name I could look him up and see what he's all about and what his complaint was.

1. Jonathan Karl?

[Peregrine Took]

6. Yes. That's him thanks. Slightly different impression from the video:

It wasn't his opinion (although it well may be) it was his summation of what the trumper's felt about the debate candidates, i.e. nothing to worry about there.

2. I heard it. Don't know who the yahoo is that said it.

The MSM will manufacture the inevitable horse race going forward. Between that and the MF/Russian cheating, we have our work cut out for us.

3. I had to turn it off after about 20 mins...

Didn’t see the reporter, but I’m not far from his sentiment. I am concerned. Maybe the bad week has tinged my hope.

While I’m hardly a fan, Bloomie may be our best shot.

4. Faux boot licker.

5. Don't be depressed, be ANGRY. ABC skews coverage to defeat Dems

and protect Republican power, more than either CBS or NBC, and they're just following orders to protect RW interests also, just to a somewhat lesser degree.

With an outrageous statement like that, this individual is clearly one of ABC's corrupt political hacks. As Onecaliberal says, a faux boot licker.

10. Not simply ABC;

it seems to happen a LOT with our so-called "librul" media.

[Hortensis]

11. Yes. They're all infiltrated to various degrees and varying

by show, including to my fear and sorrow PBS. Judy Woodruff and the Evening News have become a blatant faux boot licker.

7. About Jonathan Karl:

https://www.politicususa.com/2013/05/18/abcs-jonathan-karl-alum-conservative-media-training-program.html

ABC’s senior political correspondent Jonathan Karl, of the now infamous Benghazi email lie, is an alumnus of a conservative media training program Collegiate Network. He stands now accused of making himself vulnerable to being used for political purposes, as he still refuses to apologize for taking the word of a Republican and passing it off as having access to the actual documents.

Karl came to mainstream journalism via the Collegiate Network, an organization primarily devoted to promoting and supporting right-leaning newspapers on college campuses (Extra!, 9-10/91)—such as the Rutgers paper launched by the infamous James O’Keefe (Political Correction, 1/27/10). The network, founded in 1979, is one of several projects of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, which seeks to strengthen conservative ideology on college campuses. William F. Buckley was the ISI’s first president, and the current board chair is American Spectator publisher Alfred Regnery. Several leading right-wing pundits came out of Collegiate-affiliated papers, including Ann Coulter, Dinesh D’Souza, Michelle Malkin, Rich Lowry and Laura Ingraham (Washington Times, 11/28/04).

The Collegiate Network also provides paid internships and fellowships to place its members at corporate media outlets or influential Beltway publications; 2010-11 placements include the Hill, Roll Call, Dallas Morning News and USA Today. The program’s highest-profile alum is Karl, who was a Collegiate fellow at the neoliberal New Republic magazine.

Karl has written for The Wall Street Journal, The Weekly Standard, The New Republic, & Reason. Notice a pattern?

He has a very long RW resume.

13. I didn't know any of this, thanks so much for posting.

9. That reporter was vicious toward Obama during his entire Presidency. He's never been a fan of Dems.

12. A press that has coward and allowed attacks, insults and name calling, even banning. That press?
