Good Morning America had on Mellody Hobson, a regular ABC "financial contributor" and former host of her own ABC financial-advice show. Hobson hit S&P hard, expressing the view that "everything that they do is suspect."
There's just one little factoid ABC didn't share with viewers. While presented as an ostensibly objective financial expert, Chicagoan Hobson in fact is an Obama partisan. Hobson served as a big-time fundraiser during Obama's 2008 presidential campaign and is involved with his 2012 campaign.

ABC brings on financial expert who slams S&P as ‘suspect.’ Doesn’t disclose she’s an Obama fundraiser. Ping to Today show list.
The press is a fraud as is the pResident. The whole world knows it as well. This story is for the kiddies over at KOS.
They're suspect, along with Moody's and all the others, for perpetuating the scam that precipitated the crash in 2008, via wildly optimistic "ratings" on trash not worth the paper it was written upon.
AAA mortgage backed securities, anyone? They were AAA right through 2008. Backed by liar-loan mortgages given to anyone with a pulse. No income verification, no employment verification, heck there were numerous instances of fake identities acquiring these things, flipping them to a strawman buyer with another fake identity, grabbing the six figures and either running or repeating.
Corruption. Top to bottom, from horizon to horizon. They're just PO'ed that S&P isn't playing ball anymore. Expect very interesting thing to be revealed in retribution.
Here we go, S&P is racist.
go ahead abc, you just can’t wait to break that news.
Her parents didn’t even know how to spell “melody.”
THE MESSIAH IS ENDANGERED BY THIS DOWNGRADE!
The media is rallying to protect him, no matter how unbelievable the lie, now.
I NEVER thought I would live to see this happening in my lifetime. Can you just IMAGINE the MEdia outrage if this downgrade had come under GEORGE BUSH??
ABC should be made to issue a formal apology for inaccurate characterization of their ‘experts’. If they had a medical expert on who was working secretly for a drug company and then went on to tell people not to worry about the side effects of a drug that company makes, it would be no different than what she did.
A “factoid” is not “a little fact.” A factoid is a NON-fact that looks like a fact. As an android is not a man, but looks like one.
Newsbusters has misused the word “factoid.”
