I really don’t understand why everyone is making such a big stink about Stephanawfululus… no, that’s not right… uh, Stephanopulopulopou… no, that not it… Anyhow, I don’t understand the controversy at all. I mean I didn’t watch the debate but I can remember watching some of the other shows he was on. He was Big Bird’s imaginary friend on Sesame Street, right? No, wait, that was Mr. Snuffelupagus. Never mind…

I’ve always gotten up on Sunday mornings to watch George Stephanopolous’s Hair, and attempted to do so again last Sunday when he had McCain on. Turned it off, couldn’t watch it.

Now I’ll have another free hour in the morning to do things more productive as I will never watch that drivel again. George Will and Cokie Roberts are but mini-echo chambers of the ever-lastingly compromised right, and George went from what I thought was an honest broker to nothing more than a shill for the same Star Chamber.

The first question out of Obama’s mouth should have been, “Mr. Stephanopolous, you used to work for the Clinton administration. Can you tell me why you are here?”

I’m glad to see the viewing audience sent an important message to all the Executives at ABC. We are outraged and are not going to take it anymore. They had an important responsibility in covering that debate and made a mockery of it. It insulted not only the candidates but all of us who watched.

Charlie and George proved they are not journalist. Very serious issues needed to be discussed and debated. Instead we were subjected to Gotcha questions and Flag Pins. Wearing a flag pin or having a bumper sticker on your car (I Support the Troops) doesn’t make you patroitic.

What Charlie and George did was disgraceful and no better than watching one of those reality shows. Incite and inflame the audience. They have reduced themselves to tabloid journalism.

It is very rare that I watch ANYTHING AT ALL on any of the big three networks and when I do its typically not for the news. More often than not when I watch TV its something on Discovery, History, or the Science channel. For news its typically either a local 24-hour news channel or CNN Headline News, sometimes Fox News Channel, sometimes radio. I get most of my news off of the internet. Thats pretty much during the week. Weekends I’m more likely to watch a NASCAR race or a movie of some sort. With a handle like mine you should be able to guess what kind. Long live George Romero!

When I actually watch any of the three network newscasts it is to see what they DO NOT COVER. But I will not be even sampling ABC for their stupidity anytime in the future. Not that anyone has asked what I watch or listen to. Hope this trend continues. And I hope somebody actually figures out that we aren’t all idiots out here in what used to be called the USA.

George, Charlie, we tuned in to watch a debate not some bs that has nothing to do with anything. If I wanted to waste 40 minutes it wouldn’t have been to listen to you two idiots ask stupid question. That’s why we already don’t watch Fox New, idiots.

Abc screwed up when they went with gotcha questions. Non-FOX watchers want some real debate with real issues, not inane questions about flag lapel pins.

That’s right. You ask a hard, fair, and legit question that would possibly make the saint Obama look bad and you will pay for it.

Let’s see if this is actually serves as a warning to the MSM news show producers to get their act together.

Charlie/George are now seen for who they really are. Look for the advertisers to look else where and drop ABC. CBS made the mistake of hiring a White House cheerleader and has made history as the lowest ratings in history. I know Bob is laughing as he was kicked out for political reasons. Now to get more viewers Brian Williams should keep his reporting fair/balanced and use his words to protect his views. I loved it when he said the White House reported just to let the viewers know it wasn’t his News reporting.
