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.

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.

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.

[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.

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.

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.

[Consort]

One more reason to vote straight Republican until further notice.

But haven't you heard?

There's a Conservative Bias in media.

I heard a bunch of rabid "journalists" tell Marvin Kalb as much on C-SPAN this morning.

Re:Same goes for ABC news

[Proangel]

As soon as I heard the ABC Radio Anti-Bush diatribe, I switched stations to the Tennessee/Oakland game. I'm not going to waste anytime listening to their BS.

[tubavil]

I heard it, it was crap. Completely transparent anti-Bush sandbagging.

The only good news is that they are really desperate to be so blatantly obvious.

[joesbucks]

I heard what you are writing about. However, tell me what was incorrect about what Stephy said. He mentioned that it was a change of tactic by the adm (which it was), that Wolfowicz had mentioned that rebuilding Iraq would be able to be paid by oil revenues (and now the adm is asking for $$) and something else.

It may have been anti-Bush, but I heard nothing from Stephy that was incorrect.

[cyncooper]

I would be very interested in the name of the "expert", because in the nineties the clinton administration most definitely said Iraq and bin Laden were forging an alliance.

[zerosix]

Fortunately for me, I never have to endure such pap since discovering FOX News.

As to our local ABC radio affiliate, they have been pretty much *itch-slapped into having local guys and gals read from the wires instead of giving us the national feed.
