Will you watch ABC nightly news ever again?

[Nitrogenica]

Yes or no.

[Arrowhead2k1]

1. No, and I hope the Democrats think twice about

participating in an ABC presidential debate EVER AGAIN!

[livetohike]

2. No and that is what I just e-mailed the network

Charlie Gibson should go on the Insider or some other tabloid journalism show.

[featherman]

3. I don't watch network nightly news at all... why bother

[lisa58]

4. I won't watch This Week with .....

....ever again

[azmouse]

5. I stopped watching any evening news show

after Dan Rather was kicked off CBS.
That was the last straw for me. The news networks no longer cared about the truth.

[Quixote1818]

6. Honestly no, I will watch NBC nt

[EFerrari]

7. I already don't watch it.

:)

[hisownpetard]

10. Me, too. (Or should I say, 'Me, neither'?)

[DB1]

14. Same here. Use to watch Jennings sometimes.

[TooBigaTent]

8. Don't watch any tv news - haven't for years. Going with the "youngsters" and

their internet/blog media. Many perspectives and spin, but then, you know that and can adjust accordingly.

The more the corporate media is cut out of the loop, the better off we all will be. There are no journalists anymore in corporate news.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

9. NO, but I haven't watched it

in decades anyway.

[crankychatter]

11. never have never will - the MSM gets way too much attention in DU

You'd think after the successful propoganda from the MSM, helping the War on Iraq, and the diminution of liberty in America... they would have incurred more wrath from Democrats than they have

here we are citing them incessantly on DU

We need to get out of the bubble and point our neighbors toward reliable sources of news...

I do... not going to stop

[sazemisery]

12. I get all my news from GD:P,

:hide:

[grasswire]

13. your poll is flawed

If you wanted to measure how many viewers were affected by last night, you didn't do so.

Most political junkies don't watch network news, period.

[Egnever]

15. ABC's agenda has been clear for a long time I dont know why this suprised people

Doesnt anyone remember the whole 9-11 movie thing they did?

[PVnRT]

16. Never watched it or any other TV network news

[Mass]

17. I do not watch it. What surprises me is the surprise that people show.

Stephanopoulos is one of the wost Sunday Talk Show host (and that is a difficult position to hold, between Timmy, Bob Schieffer, and Leslie). The other ones may be biased, but he is simply inept. He is a
very conservative Democrat and very respectuous of the powers in place, as shown by his show last Sunday where he at several instances did not correct Hadley when he confused Tibet and Nepal.

In addition ABC has shown a RW bias for years, that we have seen during the 2004 presidential campaign and since.

So, what is surprising. The fight against TV is something that has to be in our mind constantly, and not only when it affects our candidate.

[City Lights]

18. No, but I rarely watch the evening news anyway, and when I do, it's NBC.

_abc is back to being dead to me.

[libnnc]

19. They have a nightly news program?

I thought it went off the air after Frank Reynolds died.

:shrug:

[Taxmyth]

20. Sure, why not?

All they did was provide entertainment for their viewers, same as their news programming.

[Ichingcarpenter]

21. I haven't been watching them for years

or the nightly news on any of the major networks.

[KSinTX]

22. Don't watch now, might in future, surely never "This Week with George Stephanopoulos"

Unless Obama or McCain is featured guest

[Barack_America]

32. Really? I'm kind of curious to watch it this Sunday.

I wonder if he'll be embarrassed.

But I'll be out canvassing Sunday morning, so it's a moot point.

[KSinTX]

43. You're doing the right thing! Like Ma told me, "Idle hands" and all :)

[AlCzervik]

23. i didn't watch it before, i watch BBC America nightly newscast and News hour.

[LynneSin]

24. Where's option #3 - Never watched them to begin with

After ABC aired that shit about Clinton and 9/11, I quit watching ABC for the most part

[bigwillq]

25. None of the network news stations

or cable news stations are fair and balanced. ABC is no different, or better, or worse than anyone else.

I will still watch...I usually watch ABC because that's the local affiliate I watch my local news on and it comes on right after (when I am home of course..I work nights).

[nancyr]

26. Don't watch network news at all.

[AldebTX]

27. No there are better news sources

I haven't watched them in years and don't intend to start. I am looking for news not entertainment repackaged.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. I don't anyhow. Never have.

[high density]

29. Never watched it before

And see no reason to change that situation. :)

[Barack_America]

30. Meh. I don't watch it. Not the same without Peter.

:(

[jesus_of_suburbia]

31. I never watch it anyway, so it won't be hard not to.

[The Blue Flower]

33. Haven't watched evening news for years

nt

[Abacus]

34. AKA "Who do you support in the primary?"

[Crunchy Frog]

35. I've been boycotting them since Path to 9/11.

[racaulk]

45. Same here. nt

[uponit7771]

36. I will view them in the light of FAUX news for a LONG LONG time, Gibson and DickALessOrLot did major

...damage

[qanda]

37. Never have, never will

[knixphan]

38. never did, never will.

Read the Nation, Listen NPR/AA/NovaM

[demokatgurrl]

39. No, but that's easy because I already never do. n/t

[MadBadger]

40. Never have, never will... If I do watch Nightly News, I watch Brian Williams.

[SoCalDem]

41. I think the last time I watched it was before Peter Jennings came onboard

:rofl:

[PerfectSage]

42. Nope. I won't even watch ABC ever again.

[AtomicKitten]

44. I haven't watched ABC since "Path to 9-11" except for this debate.

They are now back on ignore.

[msallied]

46. And I'm done with GMA too!

[backscatter712]

47. Fuck, no. I don't trust MSM news much anymore.

For the most part, I get my news off of Reddit, DU, Kos, Huffington Post, Truthout, other Internet sources. Biased? Yeah, but there is no such thing as unbiased news anymore. They bring up the stories that the MSM won't touch, and any time someone tries to pass off bullshit as news, they get called out for it.

As far as what I watch on TV that resembles news, I'll watch Countdown with Keith Olbermann, The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Funny how today's equivalent of the court jester actually gets closer to the truth than the "serious" news sources.

[Autumn]

48. I don't watch any of those "news" channels

I would rather stick red hot needles in my eyes and ears.

[Eurobabe]

49. Never watched it any how. Makes no difference

but I won't be watching Stupidopolus on This Week anymore -- off the TiVO lineup.

[BklynChick]

50. never watched it in the first place, but i wouldn't boycott just on these grounds

[WinkyDink]

51. Considering I don't watch it now.....

[marlakay]

52. i only watched online for the debate. nt

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

53. Easy answer for me

I haven't watched network news in ages. I think the last time I recall watching the ABC Nightly News, Barbara Walters was the news anchor (late 1970s?). I remember seeing Charlie Gibson a few times on ABC's Good Morning America many years ago (late 1980s?) and that the show was deadly boring, with endless commercial breaks about every three or four minutes and lots of personal interest fluff types of stories but little real news or useful information.

[Tribetime]

54. I really don't care to watch anything other than Countdown

Daily Show and Colbert. Last night showed me how full of shit the msm is. If we sold Viagra ads on their network maybe they would ask questions we wanted to hear. K&R

[Buzz Clik]

55. No, but I don't watch any network news EVER.

[EnviroBat]

56. No, and HELL NO!

I'll never even watch their shitty network again! They've got garbage for programming, and now they've exposed themselves for the corporato-fascists they truly are. Fuck them.

[Texas Hill Country]

57. personally, i am going to leave my tvs on ABC 24/7 for the next month.

[lutefisk]

58. No, but I stopped watching network news after the Clinton impeachment crap..n/t

[endarkenment]

59. I haven't watched any nightly news in years.

At this point it probably is at least four years, but might be more like 8. ABC is one of many nightly news programs I will never watch again.

[Jawja]

60. I haven't watched it in a least 6 years

and last night I was reminded why.

I don't watch "This Week," either.
