Default Abc Rocks!

Well, after watching the Presidents speech on FOX I was quite curious as to see how the liberal media would try to spin things. So I joyfully turn my attention to ABC NEWS. Where I find the news correspondent interviewing a group of NOLA residents about their reaction to the Presidents speech! How wonderful they all were. Everyone they interviewed had such positive things to say about the speech and how well they thought it came off! Then, in typical ABC fashion, the correspondent begins to ask them questions that would generate some kind of negative response, and he just couldn't manage it. The best part came when he asked them if they felt blame should be placed...and I'm not to sure he was pleased with the answer...because they all started with the local government and their "hero" mayor!

GOD I LOVE ABC!

delivering the truth, even if it kills them!

ABC is liberal? Well that is news to me. I would think that managing to "find" only people who would be positive about the president's actions would indicate otherwise. And now, I ask myself, why couldn't I resist this bait? :sigh:

Actually these weren't folks they scouted out. There were quite a few of them (all of them black BTW...you know the ones that Bush "doesn't like"). The reporter tried his best to drag the interviews into a negative area, which would have Bush coming out looking like he was "all to blame" for the Katrina disaster...and these people just weren't complimenting that.

You being someone who watches the most politically biased station of them ALL , FOX NEWS, talking about political bias is simply amazing. I actually watched his speech on FOX NEWS also (because my aunt had it on that channel) and they sure did praise him, and allowed for no criticism to be aired...

Talk to me about bias

Funny thing is Fox News watchers usually think stations like CNN are biased only because FOX NEWS is so biased, anything less seems liberal.

I wouldn't expect liberals to acknowledge the liberal bias of most media outlets. It compliments your opinions nicely so I don't see why you would complain, or how you would even notice.

I love them, too. "Poison Arrow" is one kick-ass tune.

I love 'Desperate Housewives' and 'Lost,' and that 'According To Jim' is kinda funny sometimes.

Silly little sitcoms are my weak spot. I'd much rather watch something goofy and carefree than morose movies that'll make me cry.

Life's heartbreaking enough. I mean, didn't you hear about Renee and Kenny?
