Topic: All My Children
Long after Fox News stopped talking incessantly about the "war" in Iraq, ABC News was doing a bad impersonation of CNN as they covered Pentagon press briefings and other insignificant proceedings coming out of the Bush White House.
For fans on All My Children, many of our viewing days were interrupted as this feckless reporting by the hairsprayed anchormen at the Disney network tried in vain to get some of the credibility they had an eon ago when Nightline debuted.
i can understand why they broadcasted today's coronation, but i do hope that Reichkanzler Bush will consider the timing of these events in the future, as he broadens his crusade against Islam.
People who watch soap operas generally don't give a fuck about anything that can't fit into a sound-bite on the evening news. i am one of the few exceptions, but i still have been sorely perturbed by these meaningless attempts of ABC News where they pretend that Peter Jennings might be a second coming of Edward R. Murrow.
What i just saw in place of my soap opera, the post-inaugural parade here on the West Coast...made absolutely no sense whatsoever.
The protestors, who will later be vilified on Fox News, were mentioned in passing by Jennings. He insincerely spoke of their constitutional right to protest, but it was a hollow nod to the half of the electorate that voted against Herr Bush.
The kind of reporting one saw during the 1968 Democratic convention and the Viet Nam (as it was then spelt) war is part of the distance past, yet ABC/Disney is still trying to act like they are real newsmen!!!
ABC/Disney lost all credibility as a hard-news orginization when they summarily got rid of Lynn Samuels at their New York City radio station, and it is time that someone inform the mice at ABC/Disney that their network "news" coverage is farcial at best.
Quit trying to act like CNN and let people watch their AMC!!!
