NO Debates for Charlie Gibson, ABC shut out

[grassfed]

PBS will host two of the four debates this presidential cycle, with Jim Lehrer hosting the first Presidential debate and Gwen Ifill hosting the only Vice Presidential debate, it was announced Tuesday. NBC's Tom Brokaw and CBS' Bob Schieffer will host the remaining two Presidential debates.

ABC News is noticeably left without a debate, perhaps a response to what many perceived as a "Gotcha!"-style debate hosted by Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos .

3. PBS is consistently more informative than any of the MSM networks...

And I do like Jim Lehrer's moderating.

I wish they were all on PBS though.

1. Good. Those idiots need to learn a lesson from the tabloid shit they pulled earlier.

[Whisp]

5. I hope they Know that it was that kind of shit they pulled that came to them being locked out.

I hope it was expressly said to them, this is WHY NOT


.... you don't wear your flag pins on the newscasts.

4. You mean "200K is middle class" Charlie?

Fuck him.

7. I'm not concerned about the moderators

A candidate will stand or fall on his/her own merits, and I for one thinks Obama will stand tall.

[blogslut]

14. Good

It's not the League of Women Voters but at least ABC & FAUX are out.

[grillo7]

15. I'm not sure about Brokaw, but the other mods actually seem fair and balanced n/t

16. What comes around, goes around.

You ruined your chances to play with the big boys when you acted like a dick in a piddly primary debate, Charlie.

I wonder if Rahm vetoed ABC's involvement? Wouldn't surprise me.

17. Just looking at him there makes me want to kick Gibson's ass. Oh and look at Hillary

just as happy as could be because Charlie Gibson and George S. did her dirty work for her. I was getting over it but seeing her picture from the debate (after she piled on him with the "moderators" pisses me off all over again.

18. That was a great night--not the debate, the reaction to it.

15,000 negative e-mails, as I recall...
