Thanks for pointing out an ABC idiot vying for a job at Fox Jeff. The networks divested from journalism and reporting long ago. The pillars of democracy are an educated, informed, and engaged society. Sadly, the pillars of mainstream media are entertainment, narcissistic sociopaths, and conflict. If they were fulfilling their responsibility to democracy, a supermajority would understand the GOP is now nothing more than a criminal organization seeking to concentrate wealth and perpetuate power by whatever means necessary. People would laugh at an explanation of trickle down economics. They would throw things at someone calling catastrophic climate change a hoax.
They have taken "if it bleeds, it leads" to a whole 'notha level. Society is bleeding and they are like "Remove the tourniquet!" Do they realize their money will be meaningless if society implodes on itself?
Disney is in talks with Nexstar to sell the ABC network to the right-wing Texas based media giant, so I guess the MAGA mentality is already prevalent at ABC pre-sale.
I can't begin to imagine how a reporter must have been raised in order to consider that he did something GOOD by accosting our sitting President at a CEMETERY while he's paying his respects to his dead wife & children. Srsly? Even WOLVES aren't that crass.
Well, jparkABC definitely has not been terminated, but apparently he has been shamed sufficiently to have deleted the tweet... Question: Did he realize that he had crossed the bounds of decency or did mgmt. simply "suggest" that he deep-six it?
Walter Cronkite is rolling over in his grave. Chet Huntley and David Brinkley are speechless. Tim Russert is mad as hell. Edward R. Murrow, is weeping.
You know what? I can't even comment any more...just know I am with you all. It's so depressing I just read everything and shake my head. I'm just hoping that an awful lot of people feel the way we all do and they will vote to shut these people up once and for all!
He was vying for a job at Fox News, where he could join his fellow "correspondent" Peter Doocy for the cruelty and stupid division of that great "News" media channel.
Well, maybe devoted family pack members aren't the best choice on that. Wolves are loyal and protective and they might come eat you at the cemetery but again, maybe not.
I would expect this shit from Project Veritas, OAN, Faux, and other crap media. ABC has joined this group? Shouting inane questions at a cemetery is a sincere lack of fucking decorum. There aren’t enough middle fingers for this.
Yes. I'd like to know the QUESTION that was asked of the Dems in that poll. I'll bet it wasn't "given that there is no evidence that Biden has done anything wrong, do you support an impeachment inquiry. "
I mean, who does that? Who does that, Jeff, I really want to know. And dude was proud of it initially. Likely still is even though he took down his tweet. The sad thing was this wasn't a FOX, OANN or NEWSMAX reporter. They are normalizing and mainstreaming this crap now. All this is not without purpose. What happens when you mainstream cruelty? When you normalize it? You desensitize people to it. Talk about grooming. Grooming to what purpose? This is the stuff that keeps me up at night.
And also how about the media reporting on the two santa claus scam that keeps our debt going up under republican presidents while they do their hostage-taking for cuts under democratic presidents. Useless media bleh
That reporter isn't only tone deaf, he is ignorant. Has he no decency??? His mother never taught him a damn thing, as it appears. Thanks for shining a light on his stupid rathole.
It's weird because practically everything I say any more is about how shitty the media has become. I can't imagine why.
Do better doesn't even begin to cover it. What gain is there in throwing Biden and democracy under the bus? Do these "reporters" think they'll have it better if Drumpf is back in office?
Here, let me look at the future real quick - NO YOU FUCKING WON'T. Anyone who reports on anything other than how awesome every single Drumpf is will be shut down or shot down. Daily reports on Eric's cleverness will be mandatory. As will screeds on Junior's individuality. We will see more close-ups of Ivanka's body than any sane society would want to.
Everyone who has so much as looked at any Drumpf funny will be demonised for years. There will be no sports scores because Drumpf doesn't give a fuck. There will be just one channel, and watching at least six hours a day will be mandatory.
There is no upside to this. You won't be paid per click any more. Likely, you won't be paid at all. This is a fucking stupid decision from each and every one of you pseudo-journalists. Facts or fuck off!
The sleazy media are just practicing for the fast-approaching authoritarian takeover of news, so they can seamlessly transition to full-time, state-sanctioned lies and omissions.
Jeff, ABC is so much like most of the other media outlets. All they’re interested in is money, and ratings. And they don’t care how they have to get it.
This guy from ABC should have been fired! That is just about as uncouth as you can get. He could have been standing close to the limousine when the Biden’s came to go home, then ask his stupid question.
First off, what difference does it make if President Biden pardons his son or not. Look who all Trump pardoned after all the shenanigans he and his crime syndicate pulled before, and after, January 6th!
I say something else. Hunter Biden shouldn’t even need a pardon. He shouldn’t even be in a courtroom under any charges!
This entire Hunter Biden thing is nothing more than a bunch of pissy Republicans pissed off because we actually have a president finally that is a law abiding citizen. We actually have a president that is there for the people of this nation, and not a select few. We actually ally have a president that they can’t manipulate and impeach, or make to do as they wish. We actually have a president that is FOR THE PEOPLE!
That pisses this group of Republicans off to no end.
They have been investigating the Biden’s for years. Years! And yet, they have absolutely nothing. Nothing to impeach. Nothing to bring any criminal charges against the President.
Nothing.
Which is exactly what the Republicans need to have left in office after the next series of elections. We must vote these idiots out! Fire them! Terminate their employment!
By the way, today, September 20, 2023 is “VOTER REGISTRATION DAY”
If you are registered to vote, excellent, but you might go to your state’s voter registration website and check your registration. I checked mine for the state of Georgia and I learned “NO RECORD LOCATED”! So, I registered, again!
If our democracy should ever be eliminated and based on the ignorance and gullibility of so many millions, that is an even money bet at the moment. The media will be seen as significantly responsible for the demise of our democracy because of the incompetence they continue to show almost daily and their lack of understanding about how media needs hold everyone, but more specifically politicians accountable.

They'll be the first ones that get thrown in a concentration camp.
And just too dumb to realize it ...
Corporate owned as Jeff said. ABC owned by Disney so maybe Goofy or Cinderella are calling the shots.

He should be terminated for this inappropriate behavior!
Agreed, or taught to respect the grief of a family visiting a gravesite. I mean, srsly??
And then there are those crazy church people that stage protests at veterans' funerals.
We are devolving into a shithole country.
I think we already
are a shithole country! At least half of the country!
Yep.

Sometimes people don't get it til it happens to them. Maybe then they get empathy and compassion.
Well, jparkABC definitely has not been terminated, but apparently he has been shamed sufficiently to have deleted the tweet... Question: Did he realize that he had crossed the bounds of decency or did mgmt. simply "suggest" that he deep-six it?
Firing is definitely part of the answer. His gruesome behavior meets wall.
Walter Cronkite is rolling over in his grave. Chet Huntley and David Brinkley are speechless. Tim Russert is mad as hell. Edward R. Murrow, is weeping.

I almost feel the very same way. I shake my head a lot, Deb. I think there are many people who will express their (same) feelings at the ballot box.
Republicans love cruelty--he was vying for Republican accolades and money.
He was vying for a job at Fox News, where he could join his fellow "correspondent" Peter Doocy for the cruelty and stupid division of that great "News" media channel.
Pretty bad and classless. If he does get terminated, perhaps that Pecker guy over at the National Enquirer would give this heartless idiot a shot.
Indeed, they love his sort over there.
They need somebody after Tuckems got canned... 20 million a year up for grabs!
I agree 100%
Well, maybe devoted family pack members aren't the best choice on that. Wolves are loyal and protective and they might come eat you at the cemetery but again, maybe not.
Well, only if you weren't part of THEIR pack, right? ;)
Yes. I'm afraid so. All for one and one for all in a pack. Best to belong.
I would expect this shit from Project Veritas, OAN, Faux, and other crap media. ABC has joined this group? Shouting inane questions at a cemetery is a sincere lack of fucking decorum. There aren’t enough middle fingers for this.
Spot on
ABC is part of the Sinclair group which is pro Trump. So much for unbiased reporting
You know it's bad when 36% of Democrats support the impeachment inquiry. Those are people not getting the news they need.
Then again, I stopped trusting polls in 2016.
Yes. I'd like to know the QUESTION that was asked of the Dems in that poll. I'll bet it wasn't "given that there is no evidence that Biden has done anything wrong, do you support an impeachment inquiry. "
Bingo!!
The imbecile deleted the tweet without apologizing. Shame on him.
Let the Republicans all eat each other. The world may be a better place.
I mean, who does that? Who does that, Jeff, I really want to know. And dude was proud of it initially. Likely still is even though he took down his tweet. The sad thing was this wasn't a FOX, OANN or NEWSMAX reporter. They are normalizing and mainstreaming this crap now. All this is not without purpose. What happens when you mainstream cruelty?

Seems I’ve lived long enough to see courtesy, respect and consideration become unimportant.
The ‘nothing is more important than my priorities’ generation is taking over
Sad
And also how about the media reporting on the two santa claus scam that keeps our debt going up under republican presidents while they do their hostage-taking for cuts under democratic presidents. Useless media bleh
Thom Hartmann's substack post is covering that again today.
That’s why it’s on my mind again, it annoys me every time I think of it. Good write-up and recommended of course
That reporter isn't only tone deaf, he is ignorant. Has he no decency??? His mother never taught him a damn thing, as it appears. Thanks for shining a light on his stupid rathole.
