Rage Poured Out On ABC For Ex-Clinton Staffer Running Debate
What do you expect from the Mainstream Media, anyway?
Truth?
“It took the moderators over an hour to ask a single question on policy. They may as well have had britney spears asking the questions. If Stephanopolous and Charles Gibson made up those questions, they should both be fired immediately. You did an absolute disservice to this great country. Shame on you ABC News.”
US voters have expressed outrage over the decision to allow Bill Clinton’s former press secretary to moderate yesterday’s debate between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
The debate was moderated by ABC journalists George Stephanopoulos, a former Clinton staffer, and Charles Gibson.
More than 7000 viewers posted comments on the American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) news website criticising the “biased” and “superficial” questions posed by Stephanopoulos, the network’s Washington correspondent.
Stephanopoulos helped run Mr Clinton’s 1992 election campaign and acted as his press secretary and advisor on policy and strategy before joining the ABC.
“A very biased debate, both Charlie and George attacked Obama tonight,” wrote Admiralboy21.
“George Stephanopoulos was on Bill Clinton’s administrative staff at one point, why was he asking the questions. ABC did a TERRIBLE job with the debate!!”
Zorbakrufus wrote: “ABC News has officially lost any semblance of credibility it ever had for me.

THIS from people who probably actually turn on MSNBC and believe they don’t get their talking points, direction, and tone from Media Matters …

April 17th, 2008 at 5:40 pmImagine if NBC hired Karl Rove to host Meet the Press.
Yet no-one blinked when Klinton hack Steffi became head of ThisWeek.
The late great David Brinkley is spinning in his grave. But it’s nice to see the Left finally noticing the absurdity…
April 17th, 2008 at 8:37 pmIt just goes to show what kind of sheep watch network TV news - the first time in recent history that a Democrat actually had questions that were not puffballs or intros for a pre-packaged speech, and 7000 viewers are upset.
If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen
