ABC-Jazeera and its propagandist-in-chief, Peter Jennings. Does his hatred for America get any more obvious?

[Benrand]

I am wondering why it seems Forrest sawyer is also cnadian. They must have been hired on purpose so they wouldn't feel allegiance to the US. But Cronkase sorta disproves this.

Forrest Sawyer is as bad as Jennings when forgetting to challenge Iraqi claims. But so what.

good for someone to point this out rather than always us .. whoever MRC is, good article and right on!

No doubt. During Rush's show I have to brace myself for the litany of gloom-and-doom that comes at the top of every hour courtesy of ABC Radio. With their fast talking and rapid-fire audio edits, they manage to squeeze a surprising amount of pessimism into their allotted two minutes or whatever it is. The ideal situation would be Fox news updates, but I don't know if they do radio.

You might enjoy listening to my favorite talk radio personality, Rabbi Daniel Lapin. I don't get a chance to listen to him on radio anymore, but I just received his latest e-mail update which contained this link from his show yesterday. His topic says it all.

Listen to Hour 1 -Would the media cover anti-abortion protestors as lovingly they do the as anti-War?

"ABC Radio has a strong anti-war/defeatist/doubting/savoring-the-screwups slant, too. It's really bad. ABC is clearly tailoring its message to please a particular demographic."

Absolutely right. Our demographic is in the majority. So what are we going to do about it? Petitioning the Anti-American Broadcasting Company is not going to change them.

BUT emailing and calling your friends and neighbors and co-workers to NOT view AABC will help send them a message in their ratings.

We can start a new freep campaign.

1) Admitting his mother "was pretty anti-American," on Friday's Late Show ABC News anchor Peter Jennings, who grew up in Canada, conceded that he was "raised with anti-Americanism in my blood, or in my mother's milk at least."

2) During his Letterman appearance, Jennings also denounced the Founding Fathers

Thanks for the link. I've heard Rabbi Lapin speak many times, both at the March for Life and on WAVA, a Christian radio station in northern Virginia. Perhaps a National Prayer Breakfast on CSPAN as well. Plus he publishes "Towards Tradition." He's an important voice and I offer him encouragement to press on. He's a lone voice in the wilderness.

ABC Radio has a strong.....

I had already noticed that as well. It was almost as if they were happy they could report on some bad news on the war. It also seemed like nah nah nah nah -- nah nah we told you President Bush had a bad idea. What made it worse was the fact that the war is actually going pretty well so far. definately better than ABC is portraying it.

[Newbomb Turk]

ABC ? Is that s*it still on ?

[davidtalker]

I have had XM in the car for 14 mos now. A true pioneer. I also have a pioneer unit. It is GREAT! Go down to Circuit City, Best Buy, etc. get it installed and you will wonder how you did without XM.

Do not get Sirius. A pretender AND more expensive. BTW, I have no connection to XM, either.

After listening to these idiots for a few days, I have come to the conclusion that Tokyo Rose couldn't have done any better.

I think someone should start handing out "Tokyo Rose" awards every day to the journalist who has the most misleading and demoralizing broadcast.
