#1 I guess that means an uptick in the accuracy of news coming out of ABC?

This is one case where no news beats their news to death.

I heard that the Iranian Office of Information is hiring..these guys are pretty well qualified for propoganda.

#2 Faster Faster!

The old media can still do a lot of damage before it finally dies. Just look at Obama......

#4 Sounds like they might be going to force the local ABC affiliates to hire them.

#6 To #1 KarlRove.
I think that they are staying in DC means the bias quotient will be going up for the big "O". This would make ABC a wholly owned branch of the government (grin). Oh, you say that they already are? Sorry then, I was being redundant.

#7 The question is: "Will anyone notice?"

#11 They can all go work w/Lisa Douglas @ the WH. Why should all their shilling be free?

#12 I thought ABC was part of the Great Disney Empire, which is still doing well? I can't find their revenue, but their stock price has been going up steadily for about the past year (after a low in March of last year).
