Why is it that some of the "news" programs or networks think that we are interested in their jokes, smirking, or wink wink nudge nudge attitudes? People watch the news to get the FACTS and then may make an intelligent and informed opinion on the subject.
When these same networks, willingly give themselves up to be a tool of propaganda; who are they to belittle or disregard THIS site? SodaHead is the only site to which I have gone so faithfully for so long, as it allows you to state your opinion, vent, and talk with others on subjects that you may not have even considered.
It strikes me that ABC is treating the reactions to their blog, like a 13 who has asked a "Is Robert Cullen Hot?!" question. They are jumping up and down and pouting and generally throwing a tantrum because others did not share their enthusiasm for the subject and maybe even pointed out glaring problems with their point of view.
(I apologize for the Twilight reference, it was simply the first thing that came to mind.)
To ABC I would like to say, if your blog turned into an "Obama Bashing"; you MIGHT want to do a REAL story on why THAT is! Further, I invite ABC to ask the question, "What do you think of George W. Bush?" and THEN report what kind of reaction THAT got. There will be an equal amount of bashing or "hating" going on.
ABC has abandoned the principles of journalism which put in a modern context and shortened dramatically is, "The news reporter is a Dominos delivery guy. You don't MAKE the news, you don't CHANGE the news, you just DELIVER the news."
Anything else is an editorial and of no greater importance than any post on this site.

Thanks so much for pointing out the blatant hypocrisy of the media in your blog Gun665. They are only interested in portraying the 'news' with their own slanted views interjected, rather just reporting undisputable facts that would allow the audience to analyze and form their own opinions. Unfortunately, thinking for one's self will soon be a thing of the past, it seems...View thread

I do watch Fox commentary and have to say that I think it's funny that they take so much heat. They may be one sided, but they are still reporting the news.
They're actually the greatest sock puppet ever created.
