that before there was Faux, ABC was the go-to network of choice for the Republican Party. It was where a young Britt Hume polished that undeniable antipathy to all things Liberal. Tonight Gibson and Stephanopoulis have demonstated how little ABC have strayed from their economic royalist and guilt-by-association past. Thank God this one is almost over.

4.  And his weary disdain for all Democratic policies would have
fit perfectly with this travesty that ABC has visited upon us.

3. Especially after they married Disney in a same sex union.
I get the impression that Disney has an objective tonite.

5. Yeah, but ABC is owned by Disney now, so it does what the Mouse wants it to.
Right now the Mouse is mad at John McCain because he has been an advocate of A La Carte Cable. When the Disney Channel was not bundled it had very little business, which was bad for Disney merchandising and other products. Disney uses their channels to sell their empire to new generations of kids.

A La Carte would keep Disney our of homes all across across America.

Disney will kill before it will allow A La Carte Cable to be the rule of law in this country.

ABC broke the Tom Foley scandal last fall to help the Dems take over Congress to keep the GOP from passing A La Carte Cable (McCain wanted it for his lobbyist girlfriend).

ABC is going to stump for the DEM. So will CNN-Time-Warner also for cable industry reasons.
