All the progressive blogs are tearing into ABC, Gibson and Stephanopoulos..

[trumad]

I mean just ripping them to shreds over this canard of a debate. This is going to be a big story tomorrow.

1. Big story on the net or msm?

[ej510]

3. Probably the net.

Msm won't make hay of this bullshit!

[MadBadger]

2. Which one's specifically?

[trumad]

4. Atrios---TPM----Crooks and Liars----attywood---all of them

[mucifer]

5. yeah but what about the majority of the American people?

Are they eating up this shit? I'm worried.

6. Part way through, I just turned it off. Disgusting! Obama was 8 when this bomber did his work!

In Denver, they just aired that part. It's so typical of the M$M and conservative slime. We young liberals who had NOTHING to do with the 60s keep getting blamed for it. Yet we are suffering for it and have had to put up with the 30 years of conservative failures. Enough is enough. Get rid of the failed conservaitves NOW!

This "debate" is total BULL SH*t!

7. This will be a big story. CNN and MSNBC will be only too happy to point out ABC's failings...

And how they did a better job and deserve to be rewarded with more debates, come the general election.

14. I don't know.

It used to be that way, but the corporations are inbreeding with each other so much, I have my doubts. For example, I have seen local newcasts from competing networks dedicate whole segments to what happened on American Idol. If I was a part of the show running against AI on that network, I would be pissed.

8. The sucktastic quality of the debate has been duly noted elsewhere:

9. They should. It is a sham not a debate.

11. One sided....

isn't the word for it. Gross biased is the closest words I can come up with.

You can usually tell when a person is partisan and trying their best to cover it up for sake of integrity? You wouldn't have seen it in this case.

Obama did fine despite Charlie and Georgie's best efforts.

The way I saw it.

12. Main ABC switchboard: 212-456-7777

I reached a person at that number, and asked "to speak to someone about their hosting of the Democratic debate tonight". The man paused a bit and said "I'll try and put you through, we're really busy on that line tonight".

Good. YOU SHOULD BE! Assholes.

[rocktivity]

13. And rightly so.

Keith is going to have something to say about George S. in moment.

15. Fortunately that's going to be the only controversy produced by this "debate"

[saltpoint]

16. I hope that is so -- it should be as big a story as progressives can make

it.

ABC, which is traditionally biased in favor of the GOP, really just stunk up the place tonight.

Good for the left blogs for calling them on it.
