ABC News Republican Bias Reported

[Jackpine Radical]

Sources close to ABC’s executive leadership say that top managers have given instructions for their reporters to smear prominent Democrats with innuendos and unattributed accusations. Corporate executives did not comment.

10. Without a link, you ain't got nuttin'...

Although I don't need an unsourced statement to tell me that ABC news has veered sharply right. I've seen it on TV.

13. How do "reporters" smear? I mean, shouldn't they just be "reporting"

but I guess reporting is different(and more lucrative) than being a journalist in which case, you'd actually have to dig for the source of "unattributed accusations."

[gulliver]

14. Other sources said that there are six to eight "seriously corrupt"

... ABC executives with ties to convicted GOP lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Some say Federal investigators may be on the trail of what many consider to be quote, "a network of corruption."

[Jackpine Radical]

22. Bingo. Thank you. I'm glad somebody gets it.

Well, you're not the only one here, but...

Or the network where Focus on The Family's James Dobson has his show?

Always Broadcasting Conservatives.

[Kermitt Gribble]

17. Seems like

there could be a bias reported on every network. I hope they all crumble.

24. Isn't yourr accusation just an innuendo without proof?

I don't watch T.V., so a link would be nice

[Jackpine Radical]

25. How perceptive of you.

"Isn't your accusation just an innuendo without proof?" Indeed.

And I don't watch TV ether.

26. Hey, why not read the whole thread.

28. That is an amazing link. I didn't know about it when I posted.

MY OP was indeed unfounded innuendo, of the very sort ABC uses on the Dems. That was its point. But this link, which is now given twice on this thread, is dynamite. I was virtually in shock over Halperin's interpretation of the Bush NG story.

To paraphrase Lily Tomlin, no matter how satirical you try to be, you can't keep up.
