I HATE the liberal media. Imagine if this were the other way around, against sKerry? After Rathergate, I stopped watching CBS all together, and now ABC is added to my sh!tlist.
Well, the husband is watching the Patriots game on CBS now, but there's nothing I can do about that.

Can you imagine the uproar if the memo had recommended a pass for Bush instead of Kerry?

I just can not reconcile the hated the left has for the President. He is a nice guy. That may be it.

Why would a NEWS division have a "political director"?

ABC even paraded Halperin on their Sunday Morning talk show with Georgie-boy.
How's that for adding insult to injury.

"there is no action that is going to be taken" Except for the thinking publig to exercise a boycott of ABC news.

A top ABC News official yesterday said the network won't discipline its political director, Mark Halperin, for his memo urging ABC staffers to hold President Bush more "accountable" than John Kerry. Why would it? Nobody there regrets the bias. Nobody there regrets the agenda. They are all on the same page.
Frankly, he's likely to get a promotion.

That's okay. We'll just 'discipline' ABC by not watching them, just like CBS.
