MSM Worships, You Don't Get to Decide IX

ABC News sinks yet further with the hiring of uber-Statist, anti-American Christiane Amanpour to replace Clintonista George Stephanopoulos. Stephanopoulos kept around Jurassic Press propagandists Sam Donaldson and Cokie Roberts to support their progressive agenda. Every week the program was loaded with Leftists and only George Will was left to present the Conservative perspective. To get an idea where Amanpour is coming from:

Pro Communist:
“Like these young dancers, Carlos [Acosta] benefited from Cuba’s communist system because it not only recognizes physical talent, it nurtures it, whether it’s baseball, boxing, or ballet.”

Anti Christian Bigot:
“On [Christian youth activist Ron Luce’s Honor Academy] campus, students must follow a strict set of rules: No secular music or television. No R-rated movies. No alcohol. No drugs. No dating... When I, you know, read that women have to wear skirts of a certain length and guys aren’t allowed to, you know, go on the Internet unsupervised, I mean, I think, you know, totalitarian regimes.”

Defending Obama re: Nobel Peace Prize:
“Can I just say, I think it’s overdone, this pushing back against his award. He’s obviously done something very significant, and that is, after eight years in which the United States was really held in contempt around the world, the United States has now had a new relationship with the rest of the world.” (Plus the Leftist template that the U S was held in contempt by the world, when it was only held in contempt by the enemies of democracy and other Statists.)

On the Press:
“I think the press was muzzled, and I think the press self-muzzled. I’m sorry to say, but certainly television and, perhaps, to a certain extent, my station was intimidated by the administration and its foot soldiers at Fox News. And it did, in fact, put a climate of fear and self-censorship, in my view, in terms of the kind of broadcast work we did....The entire body politic...did not ask enough questions, for instance, about weapons of mass destruction. I mean, it looks like this was disinformation at the highest levels.” The Jurassic Press, her included, bashed Bush and all members of his administration incessantly for eight years. I hate to think what they would have said if their freedom of speech weren't curtailed by the jackbooted Fox News reporters. Working from the mass weapons template of the Dems and Jurassic Press, when nearly all intelligence services and nearly all Dems said that there were weapons.

No one wants to hear this stuff, which is why the ratings for all the major networks are plummeting, and fewer are watching the Sunday morning talking heads shows.

What ABC needs is someone like Bill Sammon, Byron York, or Jim Glassman to name a few that have journalistic integrity and skills, and something other than a Statist supporting template.
