Aren't you afraid that, with all the abc spin, we'll get whiplash?

Can we talk directly to Peter Jennings?

Wonder if they can keep up with FR? Are we forcing them to become more up to date?

the resources of the ABC News Political Unit will bring you everything you need to know -- not once a day, as with the regular The Note -- but all the time throughout the day -- constantly updated.

I live next to a cattle farm. I already see enough bull**** every day, constantly updated.

abcnews.go.com/sections/politics/?POLITICSad=true

Interesting URL that is... politicSad but true...

anyway...

Looks like a competetor for the drudge report. I would like to see a website for the abc 'perspectives' program. I have had the opportunity to listen to it and it is very informative and impartial. The truth for a change was very refreshing. Of course that could change at any moment. I dont trust these people.

Good point, but I'm willing to take the risk.

ABC's political writers are actually pretty good at calling other news outlets on their obvious anti-Republican bias. Just yesterday, they pointed out how ridiculous it was to claim that Bush was "marginal[ly]" ahead in Florida when in fact he's leading by eight points.

When I worked in radio I would go to FR to the get the latest up-to-date news. No one had it before Free Republic.

Correction: it should read "...the ABC News Political Unit will bring you everything we determine you need to know ..."

After Peter Jennings' (boy canadian communist) frightening and pathetic performance on Monday night wherein he said, on television when he knew that everyone was listening, that Jesus (read:God) had a nervous breakdown just before the soldiers took him away, why would ANYONE use an ABC site for ANYTHING?

This could be a useful resource for political junkies.

Yes it could but with a leftist spin. I'll stick with Free Republic!

"I see nothing 'leftist' in this."

I know you've been here a long time, but ...
As a smoker, I applauded the 'generic' influx of the 70's and 80's.
Now, generics aren't too far away from name brands.

My point being ... Too often we get a report (remember the years of x42) that seemed like we were making headway, but in fact much turned out to be more of the same-o same-o ... filler that never went anywhere.

Even the impeachment that we thought would result in x42's removal failed.

ABC may or may not be trying to 'right' itself, but for my money

(cleverly disguised request to donate to FreeRepublic)

I'll stick with the one that has stuck with us as we have stuck with it.
