ABC News and George Stephanopoulos have a credibility problem with conservatives and Middle America. And it seems to be getting worse.
It’s not just that ABC News hired Bill Clinton’s White House spokesman and counselor George Stephanopoulos as a journalist; it’s that the pack mentality at ABC News doesn’t see it as a problem.
“The planning meetings [at ABC News] have little political diversity. Everyone is left of center and at ease with their liberal ideals. The other viewpoint is rarely raised and never fully represented,” a current ABC News producer told me last week.

But the bias at ABC News doesn’t stop with just political-activist-turned-journalist Stephanopoulos. Obama White House Spokesman Jay Carney is married to ABC News reporter Claire Shipman. Shipman regularly reports for ABC World News Tonight and Good Morning America on political issues with no mention to the viewers that she is married to the Obama White House spokesman.

This is why Barry Soetoro does better than he should in polls - too many people still watch the Alphabet Networks and their Leftie Propagandists who prop up this total LOSER and in the process do the bidding of Georgie Soros - bring total CHAOS on America —too dumb or blind or naive to see through the crap. It really is quite shocking how far down the rathole we could go in three short years.
ABC News is still on? I can at least think of a guesstimate of the last time I watched CNN. ABC, not a clue.
‘60 MINUTES’ EDITS OUT OBAMA‘S CLAIM THAT HE’S THE FOURTH BEST PRESIDENT
The Blaze
He thinks he’s humble because he did not claim to be the best.
Perhaps more troubling, the ABC News website currently erroneously claims that Carney doesn’t work at the White House. Shipman’s bio reads: “Shipman, a Columbus, Ohio, native, now resides in Washington, D.C. with her husband, Time magazine White House correspondent Jay Carney.” Not disclosing their reporters’ relationships with Obama administration officials is clearly not an issue for ABC News.Still not an issue. From her bio on ABC News as of right now:
"Shipman, a native of Columbus, Ohio, resides in Washington, D.C., with husband Jay Carney and their two young children."
The key word is "ease". They are in their comfort zone and are not about to go anywhere else. Diversity only drags out the meetings and leaves less time to deal their set agenda. Diversity also may cause their audience to think. Thinking my cause them to get outside of their comfort zone and find another news source..
Bernard Goldberg accomplished a lot with “Bias.”
C'mon . . . . . who is REALLY "stunned" by ABC's "liberal bias"?
I mean, REALLY!
I haven’t watched one second of anything from ABC news since the inception of a little thing called FOX news channel.
The YouTube link is still good. You only need to watch the first minute of the video to see one of the most despicable, lying smears in the history of televised commentary.
In the video you will see Lauer show a portion of his recent interview with Bush during which he asked Bush about Kanye West's declaration in the aftermath of Hurrican Katrina that, "George Bush doesn't like black people." Bush responded:
"It was one of the most disgusting moments of my presidency."
End of clip, and now back at the studio, here is what Lauer looks into the camera and says:
"Here's a two-term president who ran the country during Katrina, 9/11, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the financial meltdown, and he's pointing the finger at Kanye West and that incident as the worst moment in his presidency."
See what Lauer did there? He turned Bush's phrase, "one of the most disgusting moments", into, "the worst moment", in order to paint Bush as being more concerned about the inane rantings of a self-absorbed hip-hop artist than he was about the mass murder of 3,000 Americans, the loss of our best and brightest young people in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Hurricane Katrina, and the economic mess. Watch this video for yourself and keep your blood pressure pills within reach.
Pointing it out and complaining doesn’t do much good. Perhaps if there were a wealthy Republican out there, somewhere, maybe he could simply buy the network and clean out the trash.
...dream on BobL.
You can say that for most local television stations, too. I know what I am talking about!
I don't believe ANY poll that shows ZERO above 12%.
I believe that November will go down as historic as KARTAH.
No, we don't have a Ronald Reagan running but don't forget we didn't know much about Reagan while he was running.
He trounced JIMMAH and sent him home to his peanuts. . . . . .
Being tha majority we should seriuosly think about avoiding all who work effortlessly to destroy America. Stop watching!

You are right - don’t know how I could even say what I said. These polls have to be fabrications. Surely my fellow Americans are not this stupid...but then again....
