CONTROVERSY HITS ABC NEWS POLITICAL DIRECTOR MARK HALPERIN... EXCLUSIVE DEVELOPING... An internal memo written by ABCNEWS Political Director Mark Halperin admonishes ABC staff during coverage of Democrat Kerry and Republican Bush -- not to 'reflexively and artificially hold both sides 'equally' accountable'...

[white_wolf]

Too true. What are we going to do about it?

[processing please hold]

Kerry can distort all he wants....these are not central to kerry winning....Kerry can lie all he wants too and get away with it.

[BluH2o]

Surprised? Why? ABC hired ex-Clintonite Georgie Step ..., Clark, and other out of work democ"Rats" ... ABC, and Peeeetaaaa Jennings, their news anchor, are firmly in the Kerry camp.

[Semper Paratus]

The White House should pull ABC's credentials immediately.

[clintonh8r]

Jennings-the-canuck and Stephanofscomy have their marching orders.....

[CedarDave]

Could be a forgery??

(though Drudge usually checks his sources pretty well)

[mabelkitty]

Let's get the FCC and the FEC on this TOOT SWEET!!

Yeah, that hadn't been read when I first posted.

We now have the ammo to PROVE ABC bias. I hope everyone is writing ABC, all the MSM networks, FOX, internet sites, our Republican representatives, the Dems, we need to push this fast and furious before the debate starts.

[processing please hold]

I will...take my hand...lets go!!!!!!!

It was important to point out that Cheny sat next jedwards at a prayer breakfast, not that Kerry claimed 3 Purple Hearts and chose not to "stay and fight" in Viet Nam.

I agree with posting the whole memo. This might be taken out of context. The intent isn't really clear to me.

It is amazing however that Halpering doesn't just instruct his journalists, to remain above the spin, do not add to it and be fair. I guess those ethics are just out of style now.

[VRWCTexan]

Just set 3 e-mails to different ABC addresses located on abcnews.com address - does someone have an e-mail address for their top brass?

[Shqipo]

President George W. Bush
versus
MSM, UN, all liberals, global terrorists, radical international leftists, Old Europe, Canada, Hollywood, Mullahs, dictators,DNC, Soros, and the rest of Satan's lot.

Keep up the good fight, GWB! Virtue and valor are your allies.

Thank you for posting this! I've done numerous searches and was beginning to think I dreamed it.

When I sent my e-mail to ABC about Halperin's memo, spell check kept on insisting that "Halperin" should be "Hampering"!

[hershey]

Just remembered that I heard something about PBS...a vice president? resigned under a cloud. Some kind of wrong doing going on and being investigated/ Heard this on the radio today on the way home.
