In Pa. Debate, The Clear Loser is ABC (BARF or Laugh)

When Barack Obama met Hillary Clinton for another televised Democratic candidates' debate last night, it was more than a step forward in the 2008 presidential election. It was another step downward for network news -- in particular ABC News, which hosted the debate from Philadelphia and whose usually dependable anchors, Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos, turned in shoddy, despicable performances.

Hysterical article. Lefty Shales, right out of the DU script, has a tantrum about the questions ABC offered Hillary and Hussain Obama. Where were the softballs? Laugh aloud funny.

It really IS out of that script.

I have been watching DU for the last few weeks. O The Popcorn. They had one guy they bounced because he was calling H! The Word Of Words...Four Times.

Every once in a while, I do see a post there I agree with..hahaha.

specious and gossipy trivia.
What a line.

Political gamesmanship is not working out well for ABC. Maybe someday they’ll just start reporting the news and forget about being King-makers.

The debate I want to see has each candidate providing the questions or questioner for the other candidate. Inane questions then reflect poorly on the candidate offering them.

Gee, I thought asking a presidential candidate about his close association with a terrorist who bombed the pentagon and capitol building was quite relevant today.

Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos, turned in shoddy, despicable performances.

Hey I saw that post on DU only in 4 letter words. Must be the same guy.

[Baladas]

Or maybe Barack Hussein Obama will realize he has to actually answer the frickin’ questions.

[tips up]

ABC was a loser even before the debate.

[fish hawk]

And to think that over at CBS Perky Katie Couric has been cry babying about not getting to host one of these disasters. LOL I bet she is changing her mind about now. It would be like someone handing you an anvil as you were falling.

Shales is missing ABC’s strategy. ABC can’t ask too many questions regarding the issues. It’d force the two candidates to out-left each other which could hurt them in the general election.

I searched debate, abc, shales and washington post. Still don’t see the original. Maybe I should have searched liberal nut job but then I would have gotten thousands of hits.

OPERATION CHAOS

The rats are children who just can't accept that this day has come. They dream their Peter Pan dreams that they will NEVER be asked tough questions because they are after all the rat and in their child like minds their being in charge of our lives is “just the way things should always be.”
These children can not allow themslves to allow that the new media even exists let alone has the power to kick the shiite out of them like this. The funniest thing will be that they will attribute all of this to rogue ratmedia types gone off the reservation. They can never admit Hannity and Rush had a part in this.
