Whether it will have any practical impact is one thing (probably not, even the Jayson Blair scams couldn't affect the NY Times much). But I think you are wrong if you think this doesn't really matter - this is a quick peek into the sordid reality that the MSM outlets are controlled by people who have a definite agenda which ranges from very very liberal to far left. It's about a lot more than the ABC producer's 'feelings'......
It doesn't matter one iota.
I gave up a long time ago paying attention to the personal rants and outrages of liberals. Liberalism is centered around one's personal emotions. Conservatism is centered around intelligent discussions of the issues. Its the mind over heart factor. Intellect and reasoning, will always trump feelings and emotions. Conservatives understand this and agree with the basic political premise.
