How many other times has ABC put fiction in front of the public?

[mediaman007]

Consider that they give tons of time to John Stossel. I would guess ABC would not be a reliable source for any information anymore.

The Bush* Administration is trying to return to favor with the public after the cumulative lies drove the Bush* approval down. It will be the same for ABC.

ABC will be sacrificing its reputation forever. ABC will be known more for its broadcast of this film, than it will be known for any other substantial piece of work. So long, ABC!

1. Same for PBS during the last three years

[Montagnard]

2. Well Every Night

When they do the news.

3. Everything they show is true

That's why we are enamored with all those people lost on that island, and ready to pick up arms against those glowing aliens in Florida.

(Do I even need the :sarcasm:?)

4. Add Limbaugh, Hannity, and Levin

All launched by ABC radio. Didn't they used to have some racist name Bob Grant too?

And look what they did to Clinton during the 90s:
ABC broadcast every lie they could get away with about Bill Clinton and never once questioned Clinton's accusers when accusation after accusation was shown to be false. During the 90s, ABC had propagandist Brit Hume covering the White House. They had Ken Starr's favorite media whore Jackie Judd reporting every lie Starr put out, even special ones Starr saved just for her. Judd was assisted by producer Chris Vlasto,who went out of his way to exercize his anti-Clinton bias. Vlasto even called up journalist Joe Conason with complaints after Conason co-wrote an article accusing Ken Starr of a conflict of interest.

From a 2004 Peter Jennings interview of Clinton:

JENNINGS Oh, yes, you do, sir. Oh -- excuse me, Mr. President, I can feel it across the room. You feel it very deeply.

CLINTON: No, I care. You don't want to go here, Peter. You don't want to go here. Not after what you people did and the way you, your network, what you did with Kenneth Starr. The way your people repeated every, little sleazy thing he leaked. No one has any idea what that's like. That's where I failed. You wanna know where I failed? I really let it -- it hurt me. I thought I lived in a country where people believed in the Constitution, the rule of law, freedom of speech. You never had to live in a time when people you knew and cared about were being indicted, carted off to jail, bankrupted, ruined, because they were Democrats and because they would not lie. So, I think we showed a lot of moral fiber to stand up to
that, to stand up to these constant investigations, to this constant bodyguard of lies, this avalanche that was thrown at all of us.

I cannot find a transcript or tape that shows what happened after Clinton's statement, but the way I remember it Peter Jennings laughed at Clinton and told Clinton it was his own fault.
