After her morning BIDEN bash on This Week, she did Breaking News at BIDEN's honoring the casualties, now again on MUIR's show. She barely mentioned the 100K+ evacuations or the two drone take-outs.
The e-forms have a limit of 500 *characters* so couldn't tell them how I really feel. Thanks & to DUer Moebym who replied to my "anecdotal reporting" with "Same as 'some people say' ", which I appropriated. https://www.democraticunderground.com/100215795373
******* To ABC:
With "Liberal" media like RADDATZ/KARL who needs Fox? She's been unprofessionally editorializing not reporting to bash BIDEN with "anecdotal reporting" same as "some people say." YELLED at Blinken & dismissed his answers, let SASSE go with hostile partisanship, later said BIDEN was getting tons of criticism, from whom Martha YOU?! Go to Fox with Brit HUME! Plus maudlin sobbing not TELLING about war. JENNINGS is rotating in his grave.

(9,350 posts)I assume you are talking about Jonathan Karl. According to Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), Jonathan Karl is actually a right wing reporter. FAIR once did a story on Karl claiming that he came up in a right wing news group.
Conservatives dont just complain loudly, endlessly and inaccurately about liberal media bias. They also train right-leaning journalists to make their way into the supposedly hostile terrain of Beltway media. And one of the most famous alums of a conservative media training program is now a major star at a network news outlet: ABCs senior political correspondent Jonathan Karl.
Karl came to mainstream journalism via the Collegiate Network, an organization primarily devoted to promoting and supporting right-leaning newspapers on college campuses (Extra!, 9-10/91)such as the Rutgers paper launched by the infamous James OKeefe (Political Correction, 1/27/10). The network, founded in 1979, is one of several projects of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, which seeks to strengthen conservative ideology on college campuses. William F. Buckley was the ISIs first president, and the current board chair is American Spectator publisher Alfred Regnery. Several leading right-wing pundits came out of Collegiate-affiliated papers, including Ann Coulter, Dinesh DSouza, Michelle Malkin, Rich Lowry and Laura Ingraham (Washington Times, 11/28/04).
The Collegiate Network also provides paid internships and fellowships to place its members at corporate media outlets or influential Beltway publications; 2010-11 placements include the Hill, Roll Call, Dallas Morning News and USA Today. The programs highest-profile alum is Karl, who was a Collegiate fellow at the neoliberal New Republic magazine.
After a stint at the New York Post, Karl soon found his way to CNN, but he was still connected to ideological pursuits; he was a board member at the right-leaning youth-oriented Third Millennium group and at the Madison Center for Educational Affairswhich, like the Collegiate Network, seeks to strengthen young conservative journalism. After moving to ABC in 2003, Karl contributed several pieces to the neo-con Weekly Standard, such as his April 4, 2005 article praising Bush Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as out to make her mark with the vigorous pursuit of the presidents freedom and democracy agenda.

occupied at ABC years ago, when HUME was a consigliere of the BUSH Family Evil Empire and would wear a smug sneer anytime he mentioned Dems. KARL softened a few months ago for the length of his book tour, but not much and that's over.

(70,725 posts)* Keep friends close and enemies closer.
* Knowing is better than not knowing, which is also why I don't use DU's Ignore feature - well, there is that *one* member...
* My brain doesn't shrivel when I do my wingnut recon.
* I'm better prepared to slap down a wingnut assault.
* I post for those who want the heads up, however few they might be.
*** So, I do watch some, not Hannity or the other brain dead types.

(15,548 posts)I watched the news tonight and saw them bringing the caskets down the ramp. All I could think of was how no news outlets were allowed to take pictures of dead soldiers coming home from Iraq or Afghanistan when Dubya and Cheney et al (Rumsfeld and Colin Powell also) were in charge. Did Bush ever go to Dover to salute the caskets?
If Biden did that there'd be a huge uproar about how unpatriotic he is.

(70,725 posts)The one with the "Contact Us" at the bottom of page is actually: abcnews.go.com - not the main abc page http://abc.com
Then clicking on Contact Us you get: https://abcnews.go.com/contact?cid=clicksource_4380645_footer_contactus where you get a list of the different programs, which is why I sent three separate Complaints, one for each her appearances including "Other". When you click on the program link you get an e-form. I got nothing else to do.
