In Pa. Debate, The Clear Loser Is ABC
Tom Shales
When Barack Obama met Hillary Clinton for another televised Democratic candidates' debate last night, it was more than a step forward in the 2008 presidential election. It was another step downward for network news -- in particular ABC News, which hosted the debate from Philadelphia and whose usually dependable anchors, Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos, turned in shoddy, despicable performances...
Charlie had the audacity to press his questions home against both 'Bamer and the Hildebeast, particularly on the proposed (or supposed) captial gains tax increase. You'd think that's what a journalist is supposed to do, press questions, but apparently WaPo thinks that's wrong. Maybe that's why WaPo isn't such a great newspaper anymore. |
