ABC News - a disgrace for news coverage ...pumping awol vs Kerry

[cthrumatrix]

You wonder why people's opinions are the way they are. You get home from work turn on Peter Jennings and you have them pumping Cheney's hate rhetoric and suggesting Kerry is "floppiing and behind".

Never mind the facts of a close race

Never mind the facts of 1000 deaths from a war of choice

Never mind the issues...it's all on terra...vote repug.


They are disgusting...screw ABC and Cap Cities.

1. It seems that the only journalist

you can trust these days is Jon Stewart!

[cthrumatrix]

2. I am so pissed at ABC .... might as well be the damn Enquirer reporting

zero objectivity....

[Joylaughter]

7. That's right

Those who tell the truth are now comdians or conspiracy nuts.

[jean]

31. Keith Olbermann is right up there, I think

[htuttle]

3. Well, CBS News was about the opposite of that tonight

They dissected a couple of the propaganda bits that Republicans have been trying to spread about Kerry, specifically the '$87 billion' and the IWR vote. They explained the truth about it fairly well.

[sallyseven]

4. I saw that it was very good.

Even brought up the magic number of 1000 deaths since the war began.

[cthrumatrix]

6. I never watch Jennings because I know they are pro-repug....but

in florida CBS/NBC went long on hurricane coverage...

[shivaji]

28. CBS & Danny Rather are hopping mad for being bypassed

in the debates as moderators. It will be shared by FUX, NBC & ABC.

[Kira]

5. CBS just kicked butt!

I couldn't believe it. They told the truth about Kerry not flip flopping on Iraq and explained the 87 million vote. They did it clearly and they wrote it on the bottom of the screen so people could take it in. I have been waiting for someone to talk about the 87 million for so long. I almost cried. Also they said that Cheney said if * isn't re-elected that we will be hit again! OMG I can't believe he said that! Yeah CBS you rock! Truth to power!

[cthrumatrix]

8. ABC made sure they played Cheney and gave a reason in Kerry's speech

on why he might have said...all speculation and bullshit

f them

[spooky3]

10. Thanks, I will now watch CBS exclusively (and Stewart&Olbermann).

[buycitgo]

17. geee..........what good does it do NOW?

where were they the DAY the pugs started LYING about it?

[hlthe2b]

9. Jennings et al really went Bushie* since the Michael Moore F9/11

"war" broke, with Jennings apparently pissed that his total and premature discounting of Moore's AWOL statements re: Bush gained traction elsewhere. Then of course there's the parent Disney battle with Moore over the film. Pretty hopeless now with a rare exception or two...

11. email them!

I saw we pound and hound the media and "journalist" who are not responsible enough to report the facts. It's our job to stay on them! I would but I didn't see it.

I think we need an email list of all the reporters on major networks for quick reference.

[David Dunham]

20. WE SHOULD E-MAIL ABC ABOUT THEIR TERRIBLE COVERAGE

[Lex]

12. ABC's Dean Reynolds was inserting his opinion heavily.

It was hardly "reporting" -- it was editorializing.

It was so noticeable and sickening, it made me pause what I was doing to stop and listen and see WHO was trashing Kerry so much in what should've been a straightforward report.

Ugh. Pathetic.

[cthrumatrix]

14. how in the hell can Dean Reynolds get away with that shit...?

he was worse than Wolf Blizter...

[Protected]

13. Watch CBS!

As others have already mentioned in this thread, John Roberts' report on the CBS Evening News tonight regarding the "flip flops" was pretty good. He even mentioned that Bush had threatened to veto a version of the $87 billion spending bill.

[hlthe2b]

16. I heard a piece somewhere on big league CEOS coming out for Kerry

I'm 99.9% certain that Viacom's CEO was among them....

[wurzel]

Yes CBS news is the most balanced we can hope for.

[Jackpine Radical]

23. Are you sure of that, Wurzel?

[wurzel]

22. Yes CBS news is the most balanced we can hope for.

[Jackpine Radical]

24. Well, OK--it must be true then.

[wurzel]

29. If you say it twice it must be true!

Ask any Republican.

[merh]

15. Maybe we will get lucky and the Jeopardy champ will

lose, that will be earth shaking news that needs coverage & ABC won't let us down. :puke:
<sarcasm off>

[Piperay]

18. I've given up on ABC & NBC

yesterday NBC did a hatchet job on Kerry. They showed those protesters and said they were from the neighborhood one of the protesters themselves said that they had come 50 miles to be there, so much for accuracy. :-( They also made a smart ass comment about Kerry having a "hard" road ahead to the WhiteHouse but said nothing about chimp having one even harder. :argh:

[cthrumatrix]

19. how in the hell can they say this -- this isn't America anymore

it's been taken over by corporations with an agenda ...adn the people are surfs

[David Dunham]

21. Please e-mail ABC and complain!!

[dennis4868]

25. It's the 2000 election all over again....

accuse your opponent of things based on lies and have the media do the attacking....fuck the media!

[cthrumatrix]

26. double fuck the media ...when will we ever get truth...this is our country

[DaveSZ]

27. Yeah I've noticed ABC is like Fox now

[Cogito ergo doleo]

30. The media is keeping doubt about Kerry alive

and at top of the mind awareness of viewers. Kerry pundits are at fault for not keeping aggressively to the facts, and they should embarrass the hosts for not being factual.
