Poll question: which network news has the least RW propaganda ?
Peter Jennings performance disappointed me greatly in the NH debate. We thought ABC was the least "whorish" I already hate Tom Brokaw. Is CBS/Rather any better?
-- but it's only by a nose. They're helped a bit by sometimes good analysis on 60 Minutes.
ABC is the most RW. Ted Koppel's performance at the Durham debate was terrible. Peter Jennings thinks he's 007. Brit Hume used to be with ABC. Very conservative outfit.
that ABC is the BBC News' American affiliate. Well they they share resources I believe and we get ABC news shown on the BBC's British news channel every night for 1/2 an hour.
I read some stuff in Greg Palast's book "The Best Democracy Money Can Buy". Tom was quoted something like 'Sometimes, you just don't know whether you can ask certain questions'. The gist I got is that he has to watch his step or he'll be fired.
I'm betting that some of these guys are still trying to "sneak" real journalism into their propoganda.
Jsut don't let Al Gore (supposedly the soon-to-be owner) go with his idea of turning it into a hard-news version of E! That would be a tragedy. Leave it as it is.
