" How in God's name does ABC News justify this blatantly biased and pandering display? Once again, the All Backing Clinton network is showing its colors. So much for broadcasting in the public interest. I will never watch this disgraceful excuse for "news" again.

You should be ashamed of yourself, George. But, I'm sure you're not. Conscience is not a Clinton backer's strong suit."

So Jeff, Are you trying to say that CNN, MSNBC, etc., etc., are all humbug pandering about "Oh Bummer" day in and day out in the name of "News"

Ask her this question

Do you think all women, black and white will be mad if they take this candancy away from you?

It is my hope that the voters of the US will see this for what it is. If ABC wants to back a candidate than please just say so. I understand that journalists may have a hard time suppressing their feelings but they are to try. I only hope that the FCC sees this for what it is, and revokes ABC's license or finds ABC to the full extent of the law, if this is a legal violation. If not I hope your viewers boycott all of ABC programing and send this network into the trash. Report not make the news.

SHAME ON YOU ABC NEWS!!!
Are you going to tell viewers that Stephanopoulos helped run Mr. Clinton's first presidential election campaign and acted as his press secretary and advisor on policy and strategy before joining ABC NEWS. If he is working for the Clintons, he should quit ABC News right now. I can't wait to hear the lame excuse from ABC News executives.

Fortunately, Have the country (Women AND Men) do not think like you do. God Bless America !

I hope he asks her about reinventing herself all the time.

First she was the Queen, (as in ready for her coronation), then she was the under dog, then Rocky, then Calamity Jane, (Barack said Annie Oakley, but Calamity is a better 'literal' description for Hillary), as well as, Paulette Revere, Teddy Roosevelt, now Goldilocks. I'm sure I missed some of Clinton's manifestations of her mental health debacle.

For the Mental health debacle, the manifestation is - BECKY ;-)

ABC's bias is showing. Just days before the crucial Indiana and North Carolina primaries, the network gives the Senator key time with softball questions from former Clinton staffer, Mr. Stephanopoulos.

Rush Limbaugh will be proud as it fits into his Operation Chaos.

For all the comment's about George let me go on record to say I am happy that he brought up the name of Ayers who is associated with Obama otherwise much of the public would not have known. Obama lost that debate because he got stunned and stuttered his answers. If fact, Obama can't answer quick he has to think about what to say. I am glad Hillary is going to be interviewed by George. Its good for the party. I am definately not an Obama supporter like most of this generation of college students who don't know which way the wind is blowing and think that two plus two if five. That's why there are so many drop outs. Obama stayed in that church because Obama is racial himself and anti-american as his wife stated I like America now. Well, that's some statement. Why didn't they go to Kenya to live.

What a joke.

The baby rooster interviewing Moma hen.

How sweet, yet laughable at best.

Let's see, should I get angry at Tim Russert for having Obama on this Sunday's Meet the Press for the entire hour?

Grow up people.

Posted by: sherr | May 1, 2008 6:00:18 PM

I'll be watching. Go Hillary

Posted by: Jacko | May 1, 2008 6:02:04 PM

Tim Russert is objective. Do you remember how whiney Hillary got when he put her ass on the hotseat with questions and she whined about always getting the first question?

We'll soon be rid of the Clinster Spinster Hillary.

Enjoy the spotlight while you can!

She'll be pumping gas by November.

ABCNEWS had hit the yucky bottom of the dumpster once again with the kissing up to HillRodClint, as if the previous debate with Steph and Charlie hitting Obama hard and patting HRC lightly on the back, wasn't bad enough; I am so disgusted with this Steph connection to the Clintons going way, way back; I had a good feeling for Steph for all these years in since he left the Clinton payrolls, until now, apparently he is still a servant to HRC... and this issue drags ABCNEWS to lowest level I can remember!

I realized after watching the last debate that ABC was biased against Obama and in favor of Hiliary. George Stephanopoulos disgraced himself as a media journalist. Now he has scheduled his former employer, Hiliary, for a love fest on the eve of the Indiana primary. As for me, I won't watch ABC news anymore, it's NBC and CBS from now on.

Sandy: Obama doesn't want another debate because he loses them all. He can't think fast enough to answer questions asked. And he also has a tendency to stutter at times. Is that what Harvard did for him? Maybe he should go back and start all over again. One thing is for sure, if he was elected president this country would be in the biggest disaster it ever seen. Obama is so dumb he wouldn't know what to do on day one. Maybe he could call on Ayers the bomber who lives next door to him. Or there's Richard whose speech Obama used at one time because he didn't know what to say on the platform. Believe me when I say he is a complete mess.

The most recent ABC debate was one of the most watched debates of the two Democratic candidates vying for the nomination.

I hope that Senator Clinton's appearance with George S. this Sunday is also a big draw for voters in Indiana and North Carolina.

BTW, I thought guilt by association was out of bounds per the Obama campaign. The tune seems to be changing.

The All Bull Clinton Network strikes again!

Who takes them seriously anymore anyway?

After all, Disney is for the kids.
