April 5th, 2013 9:31 AM
Abortion is about choice – the choice network journalists make not to tell viewers of the nightmarish side of the abortion industry.

ABC Ignores Own Scoop, Skips Latest on Fort Hood Victims Being Denied

April 2nd, 2013 4:59 PM
It's not often that media outlets ignore their own scoops, but that's what ABC is doing.

The ABC morning show on Saturday featured 11 mentions of the Congressman's party affiliation in a span of just two minutes. Young referred to "wetbacks" in an interview last week.
