"I'm Joe Blow, ABC News. This report is presented through my personal liberal prism. I personally want to see John Kerry elected.
On the campaign trail today...."
The newsreader (Jennings, Brokaw, or Rather) would announce something along the lines of how people are hurting (almost always during a Republican admin) over name your subject etc. and now we go to Anywhere U.S.A. for a report about how people are hurting concerning whatever. The first person interviewed would be moaning and whining about something, many times mentioning how some cut in some gov program was hurting them. Then they'd interview someone from the admin saying the opposite.
Then the last soundbite would always be the original person being interviewed or some liberal or far-left hack who commiserated with the interviewee. That would also be the opinion of the network doing the "objective" report. Then the reporter would end the interview with a sad face confirming for everyone how the nasty, anti-poor, tax cut had hurt this average American and millions like him or her. And of course the newsreader would look thoughtful and caring as the reporter concluded his or her misinformation. That's how they've done it for many years and still do it on the Big Three.
