ABC wins 2006 Misinformer of the year award
Edited on Sun Dec-24-06 02:19 PM by antiimperialist
Move over Bill O'reilly.

Non-profit group Media Matters for America has given its 2006 misinformer of the year award to the ABC network, led by its political director Mark Halperin, who masterminded the biased 9-11 docu-drama.

1. I imagine Path to 911 tipped the scales...

2. Congrats ABC
Well deserved.

But can we exempt Brian Ross from this honor?

3. Sorry, but I think Faux Nooz should be the winner every year, as well
deserving as ABC may be.

4. I think that Fox News has already garnered the Lifetime Achievement Award
Even after the network dies, the earth is a burned out cinder and the sun is cold Fox News will be remembered as the go-to network for misinformation and government propaganda.

7. ABC is home to Rush Limbaugh and Hannity
I don't think the gap between Fox and ABC is as big as some think.

9. They earned it, even over Foxnews.
But Fox should come in second for setting up Bill Clinton over 911. That was 'no shame news' IMO.
