Here, after following some of your posts, I thought you were an intelligent lady.
Argue with me about the video, ABC's handling of it, etc.
But to make a personal attack based on something in YOUR HEAD, and not something you know or can prove about my person, shows you are being real sarcastic, or you are (like many of us) tired/jumpy/wishing the election was over and BUSH won in a landslide!
I hate Peter Jennings. I do not watch Him or Rather, or CBS or ABC, or NBC. Occasionally I watch FOX. Rarely do I watch any news program on TV. I know the motives of the MSM. I know what journalists do to 'stories' to get them in 'print'.
Next time, start off with "I BET YOU LIKE......" instead of assuming something that you end up being COMPLETELY WRONG ABOUT.
I am not defending ABC here, folks. I am trying to keep FREEPERS from looking like DU'ers.

During his Tuesday interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer played on Wednesday's Good Morning America, John Kerry excused his statement, that "I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it," as "one of those inarticulate moments late in the evening when I was dead tired in the primaries and I didn't say something very clearly." In fact, however, Kerry's March 16 remark at a West Virginia campaign event happened shortly after 1pm in the afternoon. FNC and CNN noted Kerry's misstatement of the time of day, but not ABC -- not on Wednesday morning nor even on...

Et Tu, ABC? By Bobby Eberle October 11, 2004 With only three weeks remaining until voters go to the polls to determine the next president of the United States, both sides are unleashing a full barrage of campaign ads, stump speeches, and political attacks. In addition to political messages being delivered directly by the presidential campaigns and their surrogate speakers, both Republicans and Democrats have their share of third-party advocates -- MoveOn.org, America Coming Together, and others on the left, and Swift Boat Veterans for Truth on the right. However, it appears more evident and more obvious that the Democrats...

CORAL GABLES, Fla. Sept. 30, 2004 — After a deluge of campaign speeches and hostile television ads, President Bush and challenger John Kerry got their chance to face each other directly Thursday night before an audience of tens of millions of voters in a high-stakes debate about terrorism, the Iraq war and the bloody aftermath.
The 90-minute encounter was particularly crucial for Kerry, trailing slightly in the polls and struggling for momentum less than five weeks before the election. The Democratic candidate faced the challenge of presenting himself as a credible commander in chief after a torrent of Republican criticism that he was prone to changing his positions.
Bush was expected to confront questions about leading the nation into war on the still-unproven premise that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. He also has faced accusations that he lacked a strategy to deal with the violence and chaos that have left more than 1,000 Americans dead and that the Iraq war has diverted U.S. attention from al-Qaida and other terrorists.
With a record of four years in office to defend, Bush had a debate strategy of being optimistic about Iraq but acknowledging that times were tough. His stance is that Americans know he is a decisive leader even if they don't always agree with his decisions and that Kerry has taken conflicting positions on Iraq and can't be trusted to lead the nation.
Although Kerry voted to give Bush authority to invade Iraq, he says he would not have followed Bush's path to war a path that alienated allies and, the Democrat says, left Americans less secure. Kerry argues Bush is out of touch with reality, paints too rosy a picture about Iraq and lacks a strategy to end the crisis.
Kerry also says Bush has neglected other major problems like North Korea and Iran, two nations suspected of pursing nuclear weapons.
Kerry, in a taped interview on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Thursday, said, "George Bush is scaring America. He's talking terror every day, and people see terrible images of what's happening in the world, and they're real."
Bush spent the morning comforting hurricane victims on his fifth survey of Florida areas hit by storms. At the Martin County, Fla., Red Cross center, Bush thanked volunteers for showing "the true heart of America. We long to help somebody when they're hurting."
The debate's focus on Iraq was sharpened by bombings in Baghdad Thursday that killed three dozen children.
Ahead in the polls, Bush could afford to settle for a debate draw while Kerry needed something to break the status quo. Some Democrats saw the debates as the last chance for a Kerry breakout.
Thursday night's meeting at the University of Miami was the first of three Bush-Kerry debates over a two-week period. Neither side was underestimating its importance with a TV audience of 30 million to 40 million expected. Almost a third of people surveyed say the debates will be a deciding factor in how they vote.
The first debate drew the nation's attention to hurricane-battered Florida and its political importance. Florida swung the presidency to Bush in the disputed 2000 election and could determine whether he wins re-election.
The debates were staged under a rigid set of rules negotiated by the candidates' representatives to limit spontaneity and opportunities for back-and-forth exchanges.
