For the May sweeps, ABC World News Tonight is beginning a series of reports entitled “Unanswered Questions.” Oh, good, I thought — someone in the cowardly media is going to begin asking why the Bush administration is so secretive. Or, “where are all those Iraqi weapons?” Or, “Where is Osama bin Laden?” Or, “What happened to the nation-building in Afghanistan?” Or…
No such luck. Their first report: “Why does traffic have to be like this?”
I swear to God, Edward R. Murrow is spinning in his grave.
Traffic? Really? That kind of not-quite-news reporting makes me think of ABC News’ John Stossel, whom, may I say, annoys me to no end. Heh.
