1. ABC - playing right into the right wings hands...

played only the "lipstick on a pig" part of what Obama said - then focused on how gaffes are so bad, ran part of McCains ad about the wolves (Obama) coming after Palin...I live in a fucking surreal world...this is just utter insanity...
towards the end of the report they mentioned other Obama gaffes and how they turned into controversy...I think at the very end of the report they said something about McCain saying the same thing...I dont even know...my head is spinning, I just cant beleieve this...where are the democrats to fight back, is Obama all on his own here...again, I'm so sad about this, it IS surreal!!

3. Oh, its just ABC again, they are always on the Rethugs side.

Tweety kicked it for us big time. CNN pretty much thought McCain's whiny statements were bs.

4. I watched part of abc and they showed mcstupid making the pig statement

about Hillary's policies 3 times. But, they failed to discuss real issues.

5. So They Want to Talk About Wolves

How about shooting wolves from airplanes? Doesn't seem very sporting to me.

6. ABC wants to compete with Fox News. That's a semi-conscious decision.

7. I think CBS showed it plainly and truthfully.

They showed Obama's clip and the context in which the phrase was used. They also showed a clip of McCain using the same phrase when referring to Hillary's healthcare plan. Pretty straightforward reporting.
