There is a special place in Hell reserved for ABC radio(post-speech dirty ambush)

lying sorry bastards at abc radio news division | 9/7/03 | Angry American sick of journalistic lies

[RaceBannon]

It was ABC radio. The only people listening were people waiting for Drudge to come on in an hour.

"Mad as hell" bump

[Chad Fairbanks]

Well, we could like I do - I just write a letter several times a year, cc'd to the FCC, that basically stayes I will continue to NOT listen to any radio station that uses ABC's news feed for their top of the hour news reports... Don't know if that's applicable in this case, but that's what I do...

[Natural Law]

The good news is that fewer and fewer people actually listen to them. You can smell the desperation in thier highly biased rhetoric. Take solice in the fact that the Republican majority continues to grow in spite of this.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Yeah, I should probably send a note to WBAP in Dallas(the station I was listening to) their local news(what is left of it) seems to be ok. But I think they may be owned by ABC, so it probably won't matter.

One thing you can do is write the sponsors and tell them you will NOT be buying their products and will recommend that your friends and family do not buy their products!! Sponsors have the most weight....they pay the bils.

I wrote AT&T too get ABC off their website. They wrote a nice note saying how sorry they are but I am in the Minority and I do not count. They are an evil Network. Pure evil.

[Peach]

Thanks for the update on ABC; I couldn't bring myself to watch it but have in the past so we know what the enemy is up to.

They are beyond dishonorable. I don't know what we can do about it; if we don't have a Nielson rating form in the house then boycotting won't work.

[Diddle E. Squat]

They are an evil Network. Pure evil.

Yep.

Take solice in the fact that the Republican majority continues to grow in spite of this.

Good advice.

CNN was practically foaming at the mouth after the speech as well.

Losers.

What can one do? E-mail's will do nothing

I'm not sure about that. After a lot of searching, I found the ABC Radio feedback e-mail on their website and sent them a nasty gram about ten days ago explaining the difference between news reporting and editorializing. I referenced their "reporting" of deaths in Iraq coupled with a snide remark about Bush saying the heavy fighting was over, "more have died since", etc., etc. Every hour, for months, I listened to that drivel BUT I haven't heard it since.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Actually it was ABC radio, I have no idea what was on ABC TV(though I have a pretty good guess...) Yes, all of ABC is beyond dishonorable. They have turned 'journalistic ethics' into an oxymoron.

[OldFriend]

Drudge has been on for half hour in NY metro area. BAshing the president, ridiculing his mispronouncing words and generaly acting oh so superior. This from a high school drop out........aaaarrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh

[TalBlack]

I hear the ABC network news over WABC everyday and the amount of outright lying is unbelievable! These people live in their own universe.

[Fred Hayek]

I just dropped AT&T as my ISP as well as my long distance. Mostly due to account administration problems. AT&T has had misplaced priorities going back to the Robert Allen leadership. Story I here about AT&T is they are about to go down the toilet.

[pfflier]

Trust ABC news to put the "anal" in analysis.

I don't need somenody to tell me what I just heard or what was meant. If you need that, ABC needs to send somebody to your house to help you with your shoelaces.

[mrsmith]

ABC radio news is shallow and twisted-liberal to the core.

I once called the radio station about something ABC was lying about that the local reader would repeat at the half-hour news- and that was stopped instantly (I don't remember what the issue was). The ABC report kept repeating the lie but the local reader would say just the opposite!

Complain to the local station, maybe they'll find another feed.
But I think Clearchannel has a super-cheap deal with Abc news.

[StriperSniper]

What can one do?

I usually laugh, since the ABC station I listen to is 770 in NYC. They have wall to wall conservative shows on the air that have often already refuted some of the more outrageous stuff on the top and bottom of the hour news. ;-)

First up was a foreign policy 'expert', which they loudly trumpeted as working for the Reagan, Bush, and (suddenly mumbled) Clinton administrations, implying that he was oh so impartial.

The real problem is the dumbed down American public that will buy that. If people were properly educated and maybe a little more cynical, they might question why a 'career' civil servant is now a pundit.

[CedarDave]

Media has DNC talking points up already on the news at the top of the hour -- focus is the cost and how it will be hard for Congress to support the request for additional money -- only a passing word on the speech and why the need for the money.
