From Our Members
Ronna Weltman on Lousy ABC
Democratic Presidential Nomination Forum
Hi, If you missed the Democratic presidential
debate on ABC Wednesday night, Editor
& Publisher called it "perhaps the most embarrassing
performance by the media in a major presidential debate in years." Moderators George
Stephanopoulos and Charlie Gibson spent the first 50 minutes obsessed with
distractions that only political insiders care about--gaffes, polling numbers,
the stale Rev. Wright story, and the old-news
I just signed a petition to ABC and other media that says: "Debate
moderators abuse the public trust every time they ask trivial questions about
gaffes and 'gotchas' that only political insiders care about. Enough with the
distractions--ABC and other networks must focus on issues that affect people's
daily lives." Want to sign it too?
We need a bunch of signers for ABC to take this concern seriously. Click here to sign: http://pol.moveon.org/enoughdistractions/?r_by=-3104217-vX0kiU&rc=paste. Thanks!
