Mickey Mouse News Operation

 

ABC Nightly News did a lot to damage its integrity this evening.

The network on at least three occasions promoted a "story" in its "newscast" about the upcoming NFL college player draft being held in Cleveland  this year.

I had planned on turning off the newscast about 15 minutes in, but ended up watching until the final "story" which was about the draft.  Seems as if the news story was just a promo for the draft which would air later in the evening on the ABC network.  ABC which is owned by Walt Disney Corporation, and which carries the league's games, tried to justify is deceptive practices by interviewing the commissioner of the league Roger Goodell.  Goodell told ABC News this year would be better than last year's draft because fans would be back in attendance.

No kidding?

ABC there are a number of options for national and international news besides your Disney directed agenda.  Keep it up and you will not be an option for a lot of people.

George....He's Not Dead

Somebody at ABC needs to tell George Stephanopoulos to calm down. I am not quite sure who decided this guy should be on a national network doing commentary but for some reason he is doing just that. And not very well.

George stuck his foot in his mouth earlier this afternoon when news of Ted Kennedy getting sick at a lunch for the new president was put out by ABC. Stephanopoulos made the following remark..."Gee, Barack Obama really admired Ted Kennedy". Hey George why are you speaking in the past tense... Teddy Kennedy isn't dead! George, please sit down and shut up.
