ABC in the News

"The reason that the deaths and injuries of the American soldiers don't get as much publicity is because we are by and large banned from seeing it..." Christine Amanpour

Nice rebuttal of the recent criticism of the super-hyped coverage of injured ABC journo's.
Really excellent point...

Seems like no one has seen the footage Doug Vogt was filming when he and Bob Woodruff were injured. Sources say no one is much concerned about it, given their overwhelming concern for the wellbeing of their coworkers. While the sentiment appears quite charming, it is the job of journos to report the news and the hardest part of their job is to function in tough situations. That being said, Queenie's Daughter doubts the accuracy of the "no one's seen the tape" report and is slightly offended at being fed such a poopy line.

The tape is expected to make it to the ABC top suits today, then the decision about whether or not to will air it, edit it, etc. will be made. This could be a big deal and there will be many people unhappy no matter what decision is made. Queenie's Daughter urges ABC to provide the public with all the information they have, and trust the public to have sense enough to make up its own mind. That's What Peter Would Do //more//
