Back when Brinkley ran the place, they used to have Conservatives on. From reading that list of guests, it looks like a DNC cocktail party invite list.
ABC pretty much no longer cares about how they appear to average Americans. They’re just shills for the Democrats, and that’s all.
Just when you thought ABC couldn’t go any lower.
Just another big waste of time.
I used to really like Peggy Noonan. When she fell for “The One” back in 2008 I was done with her. Sure, she now admits to making a mistake and is against Obama. However, when you are considered a leading conservative pundit and you fall for the Socialist in chief, it’s not good enough to say “I made a mistake”. How many people did she influence by her “mistake”? And how many more could be misled by her poor judgement in the future?
ABC News is one other thing... and employment agency for Democrat administration staffers & speechwriters. Couldn’t believe it when they hired George Stephanopolus. Pretty much stopped watching “This Week” when that happened.
And they have the audacity to look down their noses at bloggers playing at journalism. Like these guys are pros?
george will will mop the floor with him
What in the world qualifies this clown to be on there?
This ought to be good. Olberman is going to be desperate to stay relevant. IMHO, I’d look for something outrageous from him...maybe even a total meltdown if some of those squishy conservatives find it in themselves to push a few of his buttons.
The communist media bosses take care of their own. As long as one is liberal/communist/dem/label du jour, s/he will NEVER run out of “work!”
Even a lousy sportscaster/pundit who had a fight with a communist icon, algore, will always be provided for.
Even if the communist media are losing their audience, readers and threatened with bankruptcy, our taxpayers’ “revenue” will be used to pay for more of the same; a communist propaganda machine that would make Goebbels proud!
If I have to identify ONE SINGLE REASON that caused the pain and deterioration Americans are experiencing, it’s the Fourth Estate being a Fifth Column, HANDS DOWN!
0b0z0 has to go and the media should suffer ANYTHING we may suffer, especially any violence fomented to reelect 0b0z0 without an election.
One of their own; an accomplished communist.
Peggy who?
"Days before his announced retirement from regular news coverage, Brinkley made a rare on-air mistake during evening coverage of the 1996 presidential election, at a moment when he thought they were on commercial break. One of his colleagues asked him what he thought of Bill Clinton's re-election. He called Clinton "a bore" and added, "The next four years will be filled with pretty words, and pretty music, and a lot of goddamn nonsense!" One of his team pointed out that they were still on the air. Brinkley said, "Really? Well, I'm leaving anyway!" Brinkley worked this mistake into a chance for an apology as part of a one-on-one interview with Clinton that followed a week or so later.
Brinkley stepped down from hosting This Week on November 10, 1996, but continued to provide small commentary pieces for the show until 1997. He then fully retired from television. He had been an electronic journalist for over fifty years and had been anchor or host of a daily or weekly national television program for just over forty years. His career lasted from the beginning of broadcast news to the information age."
What I would give to hear what he would have said about Obama! That would have been a hoot. BTW, I remember that interview when he called Clinton a bore. I really enjoyed Mr. Brinkley. RIP.
His mom is having her basement repainted.
You know it’s time to kill off the show when Olbermann is your conservative guest.
