ABC Admits Reporters Target Republicans

If you're wondering why the media establishment screams long and hard when Republicans say something politically incorrect but virtually ignores the disgraceful rantings of Sen. Patty "Osama Mama" Murray, Rep. Charlie Rangel, Rep. Marcy Kaptur, Rep. Jim Moran, Sen. Robert "KKK" Byrd and so on, ABC has a confession to make.

Yes, this is the same ABC that pays millions of dollars to its anti-American foreign anchorman, Peter Jennings, so he can drive millions of viewers away to cable news. (For a look at Jennings' astonishingly biased coverage of Operation Iraqi Freedom, check out Media Research Center.)

Here's a fascinating item today on the overhyped Santorum story from "The Note," a column by ABC News' political unit: Mark Halperin, Marc Ambinder, David Chalian and Brooke Brower.

"Could anyone deny that most Washington reporters tend to move more aggressively to bring down Republicans in trouble than Democrats in trouble?

"And could anyone deny that Democratic operatives work harder to build the kind of relationships with journalists that pay off at times like these?

"And could anyone deny the causal connection between the phenomena described in the previous two paragraphs?

"In any event, it's pretty clear that a Democratic party, which still is trying to figure out what it does well with its current array of personnel, is exercising the same muscles that allowed it to score point after point in driving Trent Lott from the leadership," the four reporters write.

If even ABC can't deny that, we certainly can't.

Man, those people at NewsMax really feel like the world has slighted them. Must be awful to live that way day in and day out.

Patriot, anyone that doesn't admit that CBS, AbC, and NBC aren't nothing but the extension of the democratic - socialistic - communistic parties are simply in denial or like to act as if it isn't true to try and piss off us conservative right wingers. It doesn't piss me off as I look at anyone who doesn't admit it as stupid. Real happy to see the MSNBC has pickes up Scarborough Country, he is good - he and Bill O'Reilly are the superstars and the truthtellers. I guess that move that MSNBC has made as well as getting rid of Donahue is proving that America is refusing to be dumbed down anymore and the republican revolution will continue for the foreseeable future!

 

FSB,
Why is CNN going down the drain and FOXNEWS is going thru the roof?

Why did MSNBC give Donahria the boot and hire Scarborough and the ratings are doing well?

JP, You're right on the money. MSNBC sucked azz and they were going down the drain and they changed in hurry.

 

Why does NPR need tax dollars to say on the air? Because they suck and few believe the BULLSHIT they spew or they'd make it in a free market.

I muse, "It must be fun to preach to the choir...."

FOXNEWS is going thru the roof?

People pay more attention to news that they WANT to hear and watch.

outandup - People got tired of hearing the Liberal media bullshit and so they turned to a fair channel like Fox News. I got tired of hearing how the war was a horrible idea and how we were going to lose thousands of troops and how this was going to be another vietnam. All of these predictions were wrong and they want everyone to just forget what they said. F#@$ that, I will never watch anything but FoxNews, unless I want to get a big laugh.
