Very disappointed with ABC News this morning...

[kentuck]

The usually consistent Martha Raddatz showed an obvious bias in questioning her guests, Tim Kaine and KellyAnne Conway.

She absolutely refused to let Kaine mention anything about Donald Trump and insisted on sticking to the "email" scandal, which the FBI has already refuted.

But, when Conway, Trump's campaign manager came on, she gave her free rein to attack Hillary Clinton and never once asked a substantive question about Donald Trump's foreign entanglements and possible risks to our national security.

1. That's especially bad

because Raddatz is a debate monitor.

[kentuck]

3. I thought that may have been why she didn't want to be seen as harsh towards Trump?

But, no problem with Hillary.

[pwb]

2. unfair and unbalanced all of them.

I cut the cable but still get network news by antenna. She made me sick.

[still_one]

9. I agree

[kentuck]

10. It's like, all at once, they all start following FOX News ??

They refuse to report the obvious. Donald Trump will be a disaster for our country. We all lose.

[still_one]

21. Unfortunately, I think that is sort of what they have been doing for some time Kentuck

It is as those faux sets the agenda

It is really pathetic

[GWC58]

27. This is why

I said on another thread, about Hillary holding a "presser," it matter not if she holds one. Attack her on anything, let tRump slide on everything. Discussed with whole lousy lot. Worthless!!

4. they are all in the shitter for trump.

[RKP5637]

6. M$M = a corrupt worthless venue. n/t

[spanone]

11. it's news for profit... the truth can get in the way.

[RKP5637]

12. Exactly! n/t

[Hortensis]

5. Did what I never do, tuned in Meet the Press, and

saw Tim Kaine defending the email "scandal," answering dishonest question after question.

[world wide wally]

7. The news media is doubling their efforts to promote Trump now.

They are coming out in full force.

[sinkingfeeling]

8. I stopped watching ABC news a month ago.

[Native]

13. Our lives would be much calmer without cable news. And we'd probably be better informed.

[ErikJ]

14. ABC news aint cable news.

[EV_Ares]

16. No it isn't but they all are corporate dishonest news for profit.

[ErikJ]

17. Yes, but ABC News has 10 times the audience that cable channel news does.

[EV_Ares]

22. No argument from me there. Network news has a huge audience & way more than cable news does. I

agree but the problem is network news as well as cable news is all corporate. They have their own agenda & it is not providing you L& me with real, legitimate news but instead the corporate line of news they want you & me to see & hear along with their bottom line of course.

We have to go with Independent news elsewhere, online news, European news. We have to work for the truth, best we can do right now. Even sites like this can help.

[ErikJ]

23. Agreed. But the network news has more influence

than cable or anything else. Even FOx News cant come close to audience.

[EV_Ares]

24. Erik, I think you & I are on the same page. Network News definitly has way more influence &

audience than any of the cable news. Also, I do believe the network news is better but they still have their own agenda.

As for fox news, I believe it is the weakest of any of the cable or network news. The reason I say that is because of who its audience is & that is an older, white audience somewhat like Limbaugh's audience

Here is a link you can read if you want that pretty well explains fox news.

19. True. I wasn't inferring that it was.

[CanonRay]

18. This is why I never watch the Sunday shows any longer

I got tired of the Republican parade.

[roscoeroscoe]

20. that's a shame

not good for the spirit to watch the news right now. Please take time away from the front lines, or turn your aggravation into action!

[betsuni]

25. With Conway, Raddatz says, "Let's just clear this up" and the topic disappears with a little poof.

Disgusting.

[Mike Nelson]

26. Raddatz...

...could be afraid of a "no show" for her debate. Raddatz needs to share the face time with Trump - her career could hit the $trato$phere. Agreed, the standards for Hillary and Trump are starkly different. What if the Clintons had a "Clinton University"? They'd be given the death sentence. Hillary made money legally - taking fees from corporations; Trump made money fraudulently - off the backs of small businesses and poor people.
