\No longer going to listening to ABC World News Tonight. They repeat the same news three times in 5 minutes. In the opening remarks I hear about the ship where 3 peaople died, 17 Americans on board, and other information. Then after all the other upcoming news is given, they repeat ther same thing about the same ship over again, then introduce another reporter who repeats everything again for the third time.
They do this with every news items.
BTW, all the others news station do the same thing but ABC is the worst.

That’s just ABC being ABC. And, it is never beyond Disney’s ABC News to not only modify the truth but, to completely make it up to their liking. Remember Matt Gutman’s story on Kobe Bryant? Terry Moran, Brian Ross, Martha Raddatz, and of course, Pinocchio himself, and another Clinton ( Bill & Hillary) supporter, Disney / ABC News’ own George Stephanopoulos. George is also known as Disney’s 16 MILLION DOLLAR MAN. That’s $16,000,000. It’s not nice to lie to your audience and, it’s extremely expensive. The list goes on and on at Disney’s ABC NEWS division.

Why does "World News Tonight" use creative editing to lie to the American people? Play the unedited video guys. The original video is all over the internet. You're not fooling anyone.
