ABC News Vice President Jeffrey Schneider has apologized for a story on his network that connected a CEO who supports traditional marriage to the Westboro Baptist Church and their offensive "God hates fags" signs. Mr. Schneider contacted the Media Research Center on Thursday after our social media department requested members call and complain about the comparison.

That is what they get for taking crap from Daily Kos verbatim. There is no such thing as “journalism” allowed in America today.

I had not heard of this story comparing Mr. Eich to the Westboro Baptist Church.
But then like most people - I never watch ABC News.
Which leads me to think they deliberately made up this mess so they could retract it and thus make more news.
No such thing as bad publicity, right?

When will ABC apologize for producing unfunny sit-coms and cliched dramas? I more concerned with the propaganda crap they foist on our children under the Disney Channel banner.
