"ABC is not about news"
They are for some people. Don't watch them. I don't.
Therein lies the problem. Some people think it's real because ABC presents it as real. It's called fraud. It affects peoples lives. It even costs lives. It emboldens our enemies. It is not theater nor is it benign. Maybe you should watch and you would then know what I am talking about.
You might also become sufficiently aware of this issue that you debate so earnestly that you might know what you are talking about.
I don't mean that as a slam but really, you have to see it a few times to know what I mean.
