ABC News Vows to Challenge Drudge Report
Drudge Report ^
| 4/7/04
Posted on 04/07/2004 9:32:43 AM PDT by areafiftyone
ABC News proudly presents -- the next generation in Internet political news.
Imagine if there were a Web site where, at a glance, you could find out what was going on right that minute in the world of politics -- anytime.
A Web page for political insiders and those who like to watch them.
A site that would track all the latest print, cable, and broadcast media, plus provide the kind of original reporting you have come to expect from The Note, and the earliest heads-up possible from the campaigns and interest groups about what they were getting ready to launch.
Imagine the site had eye-catching headlines and short items with all the latest stuff -- and links to more information.
And imagine it had the sensibility, connections, and humor of The Note -- and the journalistic reputation and resources of ABC News.
Imagine no more.
During the political workday, everyone -- from Bill Clinton, to Rick Berke, to Ken Mehlman -- asks the same question of everyone else: "What's goin' on?"
Now, all in one place on ABCNews.com's Noted Now (http://abcnews.go.com/sections/politics/), 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.
From White House gaggles, to about-to-drop opposition research hits, to pending policy and personnel announcements, to new TV ads, to the latest soundbites, Dow movements, and anything else that can affect the 2004 elections -- it will all be regularly updated on Noted Now.
Some of you are currently using a certain other Web site as your homepage because you are under the misguided impression that it is the best place for BREAKING news and DEVELOPING stories that are IMPACTING now.
But given that elsewhere the focus is often entertainment news or earthquakes (geological ones, not geopolitical ones), we bet that a lot of you in this presidential year would like a one-stop shopping place to go to get all the information on the election -- faster than the AP (Sorry, Fournier.), more colorful than cable, and more direct than calling Howard Fineman.
The Note itself will still be there, as your ultimate morning must-read, but throughout the day, you'll now have the companion Noted Now to keep you refreshed.
Note to our sources: this is going to be the place where you can reach all sorts of political journalists and others in the game -- fast and efficiently. So let the leaking and pitching commence right now.
It's The Note and it's NOW!!! Go check out Noted Now, and make it your homepage today. (LINK).

I agree. ABC has the resources to have a site where things are up to date 24/7. I'm not questioning that. What I, and others ARE questioning is if they put up things which reflect negatively on Hillary or Kerry, or other libs. IOW, will they put up the truth and let the chips fall where they may, or will it be a continuation of lap dog journalism.? Only by putting up the truth, no matter who it impacts, can they successfully challenge Drudge.

Good Lord, that sounds dated, like 1960's "Murray the K" jive. Embarrassing ...

Well they do have this:
________________________________________________________________________________
The politics of the 9/11 Commission:
"National security adviser Condoleezza Rice plans to testify tomorrow that the Bush administration was acting in a pre-Sept. 11 mindset in its efforts to combat al Qaeda and other terrorist groups and must be judged in that context," report Mike Allen and Dan Eggen of the Washington Post. LINK
A debate over what "tone" Rice should strike in her Thursday testimony is being waged in the White House, report the New York Times' Sanger and Shenon, who report Rice "and her White House colleagues have prepared an opening statement that one official described as 'a detailed, almost day-by-day overview' of what the administration was doing in the months before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks." LINK
Note these details from the duo:
--Look for "two members -- one Democrat and one Republican -- allowed to question" Rice "in detail, with follow-up questions from the other eight panelists. 'You can't get much done in 10 minutes,' a Democratic member of the commission said. 'That really might be seen as letting her off the hook.'"
--Don't look for an apology to the families of those killed on Sept. 11.
--And this sentence: "Ms. Rice's presentation is considered critical to the White House's election-year effort to put questions about the Sept. 11 attacks behind it. But it may be just as critical for Ms. Rice herself."
--ABC, CBS, and NBC say they plan to cover Dr. Rice's testimony live.
The Los Angeles Times' Reynolds writes that "what is potentially pivotal about Rice's appearance before the independent commission investigating the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks is that she will testify at a critical moment. Bush has made fighting terrorism the centerpiece of his presidency, and the war in Iraq is the centerpiece of his fight against terrorism. Yet American voters are expressing increasing doubts about his handling of the war as U.S. troops face deadly new attacks." Note the blind quotes from former NSC colleagues . . . LINK
Anita Hill weighs in in the Boston Globe: "the intensity of the attention paid to the moment Rice takes the stand suggests another question -- that is, whether the combined glare of the political and media spotlights will illuminate the truth or rather blind the public to it. Sworn testimony is not the only factor being weighed. Public satisfaction with this process will turn not only on the candor of the witnesses, but on the independence and skill of the hearing tribunal and the unbiased tenacity of the press."
"...as the first woman and first African-American to serve in the role, she will have to battle stereotypes about her competence that loom in the imagination of skeptical viewers. And this new level of visibility may test whether she is truly an insider in the White House power structure or a marginal player." LINK
USA Today's Mimi Hall goes over how many commissioners were allowed by the White House to hear Rice's testimony back in February, how many were there, and how Scott McClellan characterized how many were there. LINK
The New York Post's Deborah Orin offers a brief profile of Dr. Rice. LINK

wonkette put it best.
http://www.wonkette.com/archives/the_note_news_dont_even_get_me_started_on_using_impact_as_a_verb_014811.php The Note News (Don't Even Get Me Started On Using "Impact" as a Verb)
With today's issue ABC's The Note, never a retiring media personality, has reached a whole new level of not-quite-ironic self-importance. The occasion for this massive expiration of collective ego? It seems that the geniuses at The Note have discovered an exciting new technology that allows them to produce a continuously updated digest of political news.
Egads! Where are my socks? I think they must have been blown off by the mind-bending implications of the incredible advance!
Sure, you're thinking "that sounds a lot like one of those 'web blogs' I've heard so much about lately." But Noted Now will be different. So very different.
[G]iven that elsewhere the focus is often entertainment news or earthquakes (geological ones, not geopolitical ones), we bet that a lot of you in this presidential year would like a one-stop shopping place to go to get all the information on the election.
That's right: Noted Now will dispense with the earthquake coverage. Take that, Drudge!
We're so excited we may not be able to make it through the rest of today's 5,900 word news summary.
The Note is now officially the Dave Eggers of political newsletters: Long-winded, cutesy, self-refential, and mysteriously immune from criticism. Oh, and no one actually finishes reading their stuff.
