   ABC News has been in the tank for the Arab side for so long that ABC is like a leopard that just can’t change its spots. Recall that after Sept. 11, 2001, Peter Jennings hosted a special report on the subject of whether there is a violent strain in Islam that had anything to do with the horrific events of 9/11. Jennings guests were Hanan Ashrawi, who was a close personal friend of his, and a “secular journalist” from Lebanon. Jennings and his guests concluded that
   Islam had nothing to do with the events of 9/11 and concluded that Osama Ben Laden’s actions were unconnected with Islam. Ashrawi did blame Israel for just about everything anyway. The program was so one sided that the Tom Shales, the liberal television critic at the Washington Post, ridiculed the program as being a whitewash. ABC News was also the home for many years of Charles Glass, who was covering the 1985 hijacking of a US Airplane and the murder of US Navy Diver Robbie Stethem. Glass, Jennings and Koppell fell all over themselves excusing Hezbollah and blaming Israel for “creating the conditions”…. Nothing has ever changed at ABC News.

   Should we really be surprised? Should we really expect any more from the left wing MSM? the answer is simply, NOPE.

   If there is any way that they can make America look bad, racist, phobic on anythin. Make America out to be imperialistic or wanting to dominate the world, then by all means they will run with it.

   If they can portray the white male as nothing more then an imbred, bible thumping, intolerant, oppressive charecter then sure make up a news stunt.

   In collage there is no journelistic classes being taught. What we have is some great creative writing classes though. I am surprised that more fiction novels are not out that are any good though.

   If I had walked into this stunt. My reaction would be simple. To chastise the clerk for being so inconsiderate to a customer then out of the other side of my mouth chastise the muslem for not doking more to change the negative image that they give. A lack of the socalled peaceful religion they want to oppress upon me.

   I have always liked and respected Steven Emerson. He’s been at this game for decades. His books are very well footnoted and supported by facts. And he is exactly right in this regard, ABC is in the tank with terrorist supporters like CAIR and always have been. ABC is populated with lazy, good for nothing, “I hate America” liberal editors. The network is completely useless and should be shunned by all decent Americans.

   And with Obama in the White House get ready to pray to Mecca several times a day. That’s the “thank you sir may I have another?” mentality the media and the left wants for the United States.

   They will make sure the United States isn’t as strong and powerful because it isn’t fair. They are hell bent on bringing this country down several notches.

   TV Networks, newspapers, and other media are inventing the news! And they’re doing so to push their veiled agenda to demonize the US citizenry.

    times three. But it won’t do any good, folks. Political Correctness is shoved so far up their nether regions that you won’t find it without a map, compass, GPS device, an Ouija board, and a toothpick.

    But let’s face it. They ARE the MSM. A drunk chimp with a scrabble set and the Ouija board could do a better job of creating half-way decent news.

    But wait…that’s speaking badly of the chimps, isn’t it?

    If ratings are any consolation, Soap, there aren’t as many Americans being dumbed down by ABC these days.

    It seems more and more are turning to Fox News from CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, etc. But, unfortunately, Fox seems to be slowly turning into a typical MSM outlet more and more these day.

    BF,

    I used to watch FOX news but they are becoming tabloid as well. I even tried to watch Bill O’ the other night (first time since he let the spitter off) and I had to change the channel.

    Bloggs are the best source of news bar none.

    I just can’t figure out what these people think will happen to them when America is destroyed. They make a pretty good living from sponsers that make a pretty good living from Americans.

    When America is a socialist s@*thole like most of South America, most of Asia, any muslem country, pretty much all of Africa and most of the former Soviet Union countries, where do these people think the paychecks are going to come from? Do they think they are going to be living in such luxery in the Socialist States of America? Go to Russia and see how the journalists live. Or the few telvision personalities. Why do all of the great Russian athletes live and train in America?

    Feel guilty for being American if you want, but give back the money, mansions and limos and leave the rest of us to our “Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness”.

    I was kinda wondering that myself. Okay, I watch the local affiliate in the morning for weather and traffic while eating my Cheerios. But other than that, what does Allah’s Brown-nosing Cafirs got on now that’s worth watching?

    You won’t get much argument from me on that, Soap. I do still watch Fox News from time to time. But, most of my news comes from blogs now. The coverage tends to be more in-depth.

    Any time I see Geraldo on Fox, the channel is immediately changed or the television is turned off.

    You know, I get the left’s evil alignment with radical Islam. Modern liberal ideology and radical Islamic ideology are just different sides of the same fascist coin. BUT, I’m always amazed that these reportedly smart, well-educated East Coast leftist elites can’t take the next intellectual step and realize that radical Islam ain’t gonna “share power” with them. If CAIR gets what it wants, we ALL will lose our freedoms, even the trendy, chic, tolerant producers at ABC News. Why is it that they don’t understand that each piece of propaganda like this they produce is an act of suicide?

    Anybody catch the name of the producer for this steaming pile of CAIR propaganda? After sending a critical e-mail, I scoured the ABC site for the producer’s name, but I can’t find it.

    I want to know who should be held responsible for this shameful departure from journalistic professionalism. (And I know, it is almost an oxymoron to use journalism and professionalism in the same sentence.)

    Soap, Fox does seem to be turning more to tabloid journalism in a lot of their stories, instead of hard news. A story on their site now talks about spanking leading to adult sexual problems. That is something I would expect a daytime shock show host or former one, like Geraldo to be covering.

    Of course, that is much more pressing news than FISA, illegal immigration, the Merida Initiative, etc. *sigh*

    One thing to remember, when jihadists say they are against killing innocent civilians, they are referring to innocent muslims. Israelis, in their eyes, are neither civilians, or innocent. Americans, also are not considered innocent.

    So, they can honestly say they are against terrorism that targets innocent civilians. The problem is nobody ever asks them who they consider to be innocent civilians.

    Barry & Soap,
    I couldn’t agree more, watched The Bore religiously for over 6 yrs, he’s has become a bore with his body language bs, t.v. icon seg. and most of the topics are not news there tabloid articles you’d see while waiting in line a the store. I’m down to watching Cavuto(which slides on occasion), The Big Story, I like John and Heather mainly John’s closing remarks at the end. Brett Hume for the 1st 40 minutes then they bring out the old Washingtonians to fill the hour out of boring left wing chat. Can’t watch anything else on fox now days, they have definitely swung left, like the Republican Party…more moderate and more garbage.
    The reason Fox has such good ratings, all you have to do is look at their competition on cable and the majors…nothing there. The soup networks are only missing one to have them all…BBC…(holding my nose but they do fit).
    Sorry, got carried away beating on Fox, disappointed I guess, no place to watch the news anymore.

    I gave up on the MSM a long time ago. They’ve gone from reporting the news to promoting an agenda. That was made quite obvious by Dan Rather, and this latest stunt by ABC only confirms that.

    I’ve recently become disenchanted with Fox News also. They’re beginning to fall in line with the rest of the MSM. Shows like Red Eye and the Half Hour News Hour tend to cheapen the network, and make me question their credibility. I don’t want comedy shows on my news channel. It won’t surprise me if one day they get caught staging news items.

    There’s really no place else to go for serious news other than the blogs.

    ABC has a newswoman whose name, I think, is Hillary Brown. She is so far to the left that she makes Terry Moran sound like Sean Hannity. She did a report about how Israel had deliberately murdered a PFLP “leader” in the West Bank and she treated it as a cold blooded murder of an innocent man. She had nothing to say about how this guy had plotted dozens of suicide bombings and was up to his neck in terrorism. The guy was killed by a precision missile that went right into his apartment (yipee!) but Hillary Brown trotted some Palestinian kids who lived in the building and Hillary said these kids “are our fellow Americans” and were American citizens and Israel had nearly killed them. Of course the kids had not been killed at all and were quite healthy but to ABC’s Hillary, it didn’t matter. Israel and America were guilty and the Palestinians and the Muslim world were innocent as usual. This Hillary even wore an Arab Khaffiyeh in the report. She was telegraphing her total indentification with the Muslim/Arab world. I think this used to be called “going native”.

    First of all, I have now lost any and all respect for ABC…what little I had to begin with.

    Secondly, it’s apparent to me that many, if not most or ALL, MSM liberals FEAR Muslims and Islam.

    I’m sure you’ve seen how everytime Keith Ellison, the representative in the Congressional House, gets interviewed by a liberal journalist, they put up their hands in a pleading manner and say over and over how they don’t want to offend him, but MUST know if he is or isn’t our enemy.
