I've been pleasantly surprised by GMA recently. While they still lean left I've also heard both Charlie and Diane say "Our prayers are with you" and similar when they've interviewed different people. It also appears they are trying to appear neutral about politics. They let the bias appear through reporters like George Stephanapolous and even he's been somewhat fair in his coverage of President Bush.
Charlie appeared to be put out or somewhat disgusted with Kerry this morning. I also thought the commemoration of Tillman was well done on GMA.
I watch GMA most mornings since that ABC station is the only one with truly local news for my neck of the woods. All of the other stations originate out of OKC which is 75 miles away and the station I watch is 25 miles away.
I've been pleasantly surprised by GMA recently.... It also appears they are trying to appear neutral about politics.Might be that, with their ratings absolutely in the toilet and programming heads rolling, a smart exec FINALLY got the nerve to say:
"Uhhh, why do we go out of our way to alienate half the viewing populace (particularly the white, middle-to-upper class viewers that advertisers covet) because of our Democrat producers, writers and reporters? Call me a nut, but shouldn't we be trying to attract such an audience?"
Sadly, he was taken outside and shot.
