Unbiased Reporting on ABC News?

Wed Dec 08, 2004 at 06:15:09 PM PDT

    Tonight, my husband and I turned on ABC's World News expecting the same feel-good coverage (America: Red and Blue bullshit).  Surprisingly, the first story off the teleprompter was about the soldiers questioning Rumsfeld, coupled with highly disturbing images of "shopped-up tanks" and the depressing interviews of soldiers bewildered by our government's apparent lack of concern for their safety. While the content was not news to my husband and I because of this site, the astonishing fact was that a national media corporation was broadcasting unbiased coverage of the war for the first time!  It left us both breathless.  While we can still say a "hurrah" for the long-overdue return (at least for 10 minutes) of 1st amendment rights, the question remains; WHY didn't we have this before the election?  Why is it only appearing now?  I feel like they're throwing us a bone, and it makes me all the angrier.
