ABC "news" no better than FOX




Topic started on 10-3-2008 @ 10:42 PM by EastCoastKid


On Friday, ABC news correspondent Mark Halperon filed a most bogus report on the nightly newscast. It concerned that crazy dustup where the Clinton campaign accused Obama's of telling Canadian officials to disregard his campaign rhetoric on NAFTA; that he wasn't gonna change anything; he was just telling Ohio voters what they wanted to hear.

As it turns out, it was actually the Clinton campaign doing the winking and nodding at Canadian officials. It was Hillary who was being disingenuous with voters (big surprise).

This was known well before Friday's ABC newscast. However, Halperon, for some reason, left out the new developments exhonerating Obama and pointing blame back at Clinton.

Methinks ABC is just a little biased in favor of Sen. Clinton.

I'm not the only one who thinks that. Steven G. Brant covered it at Huffington Post today.

I'm always amazed when I watch any of the US news channels. The presenters seem to be allowed to offer their own personal opinion. It seems very strange to me as I'm used to the UK news stations sticking to reporting the news and never offering an opinion.

All the media is bought off, its all run by three people, and therefore their political views, or their business compatriots views, are pushed off as news.

I agree with ATruGod its owned by disney than therefore its evil and probably has billions of subliminal messages put in the news like they do in there movies, hell i saw an add for disney on this very page when i went on it.

I think more people should do as i do and many of u do. get news from other places besides the mainstream media. ATS being one of them and there are many more news sites where u can unbiased political news and other such things. So do the reasearch, find the news, and come up with ur own opinion on.
