As if we needed any more evidence of the moral decay of the MSM and their blatant bias towards Obama and away from McCain, ABC's "20/20" special on the Candidate's made even Al Jazeera seem far more "Fair and balanced" than Fox.
It was so bad that ABC ought to think about creating a spin-off of "UGly Betty" and call it "Dumb Dianne" as Sawyer pitched a lot of fluff balls to Michele OBama while throwing rocks at Cindy McCain.
We heard extensive coverage of McCain's infidelity, the Keating Five scandal with maximum innuendoes about McCain and minimal mention of his full acquittal, and, to top it off, Cindy McCain's drug addiction.
Then, we heard nothing about Obama's cocaine use, how no one remembers his time at Columbia, how he filled out a false application to law school. No, all we heard was pro-Lefties talking about the "slight whiff of scandal" involving the purchase of land, next to the house that Obama wanted to buy, by racketeer Rezko's wife, who then sold it back to Obama at a fraction of its cost -- or what Obama called "fair market value."
Nothing about getting donations from foreign investors.
Nothing about his and Michele's involvement in the Annenberg scam.
But, what's more disturbing and egregious was how Sawyer described his "brush" with Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who she called a "firebrand." Nothing about his racist, violent, anti-American, anti-Semitic and anti-Israel remarks, with only a sound bite of "God Damn America."
Then, Sawyer brushed it aside repeating Obama's claim that "he never heard those remarks in the 16 years he went to Wright's church." "16 years?" Like, wasn't it 20 years.
But, the topper of the evening -- the one where if you had a brick, you'd be mad enough to toss it through your TV -- was how ABC got together a few of Michele's apologists telling us what she really meant by her comment, "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I'm proud of my Country."
"Oh, she's always been proud of America, but that night she was 'extra proud' of her husband."
And then Sawyer simply let Michele slide right on past it.
Memo to ABC and 20/20:
How about having John Stossel do a show on why the media in America is brain-dead?
Boycott the media.
I have and my life is that much better for it.
I think we’ve all fallen for the lie that we need to listen to the other side. Not when they’re completely illogical and moronic.
JMHO.
I think Palin is going on Larry King Wednesday, Michelle will be there also....
This is BAD IDEA.....this has to stop....King is going to try and rape her...
“Bias” is the wrong word to use. They outright lie and deceive for Obama.
I'm so freakn angry....I don't want to say what i really think of the media, or I'd get the visit from the FBI....
Stossel has been the only decent thing on 20/20 since Hugh Downs left. I’m not sure why they keep him around. For a short time, it improved when Baba Wawa left. Now just cr@p.
Actually, as long as she is live, and not taped, I have no problem with Sarah going on some of these shows.
She’s on Greta next week too. Larry King asks stupid question no matter who the guest is.
The FBI would probably agree with you!
I completely agree with you about the MSM. But I also think we need to show just a tad bit more confidence in Sarah Palin. She did not get the nickname ‘Baracuda’ for being a pushover. Now that she has been turned loose she can handle herself quite well, thank you.
Maureen Biner Dean Clout?
Dianne Sawyer Ecdysiast?
Callgirl ring at DNC the main purpose of the watergate break-in?
Thanks for the report, but why do you even still watch that channel anymore? It’s not good for blood pressure or if you want to hear about actual unbiased news.
Well, McCain won’t be my hero, I’m sure. But I understand what you’re saying.
This is BAD IDEA.....this has to stop....King is going to try and rape her...
This doesn't bother for the very fact that it is live. No chopping up with creative edits. Sure it will be a session of gotcha questions but the fact remains some independents watch CNN and may be swung. Not to mention that Palin will be able to slap down King in decisive fashion.
This also is an excellent chance for Sarah to highlight the factual inaccuracies made by Biden including the idiocy of claiming to have gone recently to a restaurant that has been closed for 15 years. And in highlighting Biden's inaccuracies/lies Sarah can point out the complete lack of interest by CNN and their MSM allies in reporting on Biden's flubs/lies.
Prediction: Michelle will be on AFTER Sarah so King can feed Michelle softballs to cover the zinging Sarah will hopefully have done.
Live is the only way she should appear.
OH my GOsh. He is throwing Palin to the wolves.
Larry King has no news value anyway. Why the hell would he do that.
What a moron.
