ABC World News Tonight, not too shabby tonight

[swag]

Do they usually do a pretty good broadcast? I don't watch much TV, I'm afraid.

Najaf was first story, as I recall, the Sadr/Sistani "deal" with Pentagon sources expressing skepticism that it would do any good.

Then there was the Census Bureau report on skyrocketing poverty and medical indigence was second (with a great little clip of John Kerry in MN, an emphasis on the health insurance cost crisis, the jobless "recovery", and the 17% increase in child poverty), and later on down the broadcast was a story about McCain story in the NYT and a not-to-flattering-to-pres byte or two of McCain expressing his wish that Bush would condemn the Smearboat ads.

Tonight, ABC's first few minutes were substance.

And I saw John Kerry discussing domestic issues clearly and Bush mumbling shit about tax cuts.

Not a good night of news for the United States, but not a bad day of news coverage and presentation for the Kerry effort.

Wow, now ABC is even covering Sudan.

1. Jennings is fine though I feel that ABC/Disney is to kind to Bushie.

CBS has the best coverage.

2. Jennings is fine?

Jennings is the guy who went after General Clark during the debates for having the nerve to question Bush's military record....

3. I forgive Peter Jennings for that, since it helped us (nt)
