ABC Primetime Live starts and ends with Jay Leno of NBC ridiculing Dean
I watched Diane Sawyer interview Howard and Judy Dean on Primetime Lie.

They showed a clip of Jay Leno making fun of Howard Dean for the whoop (Iowa post caucus speech) before the interview, then Diane Sawyer started the interview spending as much time as possible on it, then Diane Sawyer touched upon tax policy, and then Diane Sawyer ended the interview by showing the Deans a clip of Jay Len making fun of Howard Dean for the whoop.

I found this tacky. Leave late-night comedy in its place.

1. After Arnold
it looks like Leno is the kinder, gentler Rush Limbaugh...a front man for the RNC.

And it's one thing if people turn on NBC's "The Tonight Show" and know what they're getting.

When I turned on ABC's Prime Time Live, I wasn't expecting them to start and end with NBC's Jay Leno.

3. She was a real bitch
She cut him off like ten times. She even reffered to it as the stand by your man damage control interview.

I think that both Judy and Howard did a great job, you could tell they were uncomfortable but still honest.

God damn I hate the media whores, may they burn in the eternal fires of hell being anally raped by demons for all eternity.

Nope, that is still too nice for them.

4. yes, Diane Sawyer seemed to be more interested in talking
Yes, Diane Sawyer seemed to be more interested in talking about the perception of the interview then in CONDUCTING the interview.

8. She actually did us a favor by not being soft on the Deans.
They came through looking great and nobody can say she softballed them. I thought it was perfect.

10. That interview was not an interview
it was an opportunity to try and discredit a man and his wife.

Of all the things to discuss, this is what she chose to harp on over and over and over and over.

7. I only read the transcript
But 13 pages of the scream and Judy not showing up to events? Diane Sawyer - what a slime queen.

9. He's done
I hate to say it.(I've been a Dean supporter for a year and a half)
What the media has done to Howard Dean in the last 10 days has killed his chances.....
Who's next.

11. Notbush- Now you're seeing things others aren't
Edited on Sat Jan-24-04 09:35 PM by NeoConsSuck
Dean was bashed unmercifully because he was the Democrat frontrunner. As soon as another candidate takes the lead, he'll be next to be lynched.

Remember, the media is corporate Republican. No Democrat stands a chance to be heard in a fair manner.

Kerry, I wish you luck. The media never was against Dean. They're against any non-Republican running for President.

Edited for grammar.
