Nightline is so blatantly biased against Republicans that it is now an absolute disgrace to "journalism." I can't stand to watch it, even for 30 seconds. The only good thing about Nightline is their ratings are so low that it doesn't have much impact on anyone these days.

i remember koppel pulling this during the bush vs. clinton campaign. i gave up on nightline at that point.
i thought it had been cancelled.
koppel is a narcissistic liberal. but he probably keeps a whole stable of people employed doing his hair, which is good for the economy.

Anyone who saw Nightline tonight saw the power of the liberal media to completely hide facts and spoon feed a message to the American people straight from the DNC. Tonight's Nightline was a 30 minute John Kerry campaign commercial.

LOL, gee, I missed it.
As did all but a handful of people who don't have cable or dish yet.

Your point is valid but overstated. Very few people are going to be swayed by a boring, stale old news show like Nightline or its has-been host, Koppel. That scumbag and his show are gasping for air at this point. It is on its last legs largely BECAUSE it is strictly a Democrat operation. Decent people are sick of it.
Hopefully, the whole franchise will die soon.

Regards,
LH

What the F@$^&*** are you doing watching Ted Koppel? He died over 8 years ago. That is just his ghost or a shadow person inhabiting his earthly shell.

I used to enjoy Nightline. Now I won't turn on that channel at that time of night.

Williams description was dead on; there was no mention of the Swift Boat veterans - the vets on the show were the same 3 or 4 that are always with him, the ones he called in 1996 to rescue his campaign for the Senate.

It was very slanted. Not a word about what he accused his fellow veterans of.

It appears that Kerry and his media allies have decided to put all their eggs in a remarkably flimsy basket...

That's all they have -- but the press seems determined to hand him the presidency.

Evidently Clinton will be interviewed by Charlie Gibson in the morning on Good Morning America. It looked like Clinton got pretty upset with Gibson.

I wonder....We have become so used to the outrageous media, and as disgusted as we are, do we even recognize the magnitude of what the media is trying to do - essentially determine the outcome of an election in a free republic? What does the media and its political allies really want? If Kerry wins - and if he does, it can all be attributed to the media - what does it bode for future elections? In Kerry's 4-8 years, will things become so stacked in favor of the Communi...er, I mean, Democrats...that the conservative voice will be, essentially, silenced? Limbaugh doesn't get it. He says liberalsim is all but dead. Yet, it runs the college campuses and is, in an understatement, the dominant ideology in the media and entertainment industry. I think that if Kerry wins, regulations and such will be so enacted that conservatism will be totally hamstrung. Now, AP is suing the Pentagon for all of Bush's military records. The story of the election is not Iraq or the economy. It is that the media is so blatantly trying to win a national election for the side it prefers, with no pretense of objectivity and fairness.

No doubt about that.

The question is whether they still have that much power.

My take.

To: Contact Nightline, http://www.abcnews.go.com/sections/nightline/Nightline/Nightline_email_form.html

How can ABC News, in good conscience, deny after tonight's Nightline that it does not have a liberal bias and an ongoing "Dump Bush" agenda? Your far-left news programing has driven me and most of my friends to the more "fair and balanced" Fox News as the only alternative to the propagandist alphabet networks.

Regards,
Lenny

IMO, it's looking pretty grim. In my life, I've never seen such out and out lies spoken as fact.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Bush did not win.

It also proves how worried they are about this topic

I believe Saudi Arabia owns a large interest in ABCommunists. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The islamocommie model is alive and well in America - the enemy of my enemy is my friend...today.

He undermined the Viet war when he got home and he was just a soldier. Imagine what he`s going to do as President. Democ-rats keep saying "This may be the most important election of your life" Damn straight it will be. If this moron wins, we can expect terror attacks that will make 911 look like a baby burp by comparison. Sort of like Pol Pot 2. Johnny Kerry said leave the animal alone back then and the animal ended up slaughtering 2 million people.
