ABC To Dump NIGHTLINE For Fluff?

By Wind(up)bird February 7, 2005 8:16 PM

The Los Angeles Times is reporting that the evil Disney Corporation (owners of the ABC network) is creating and reviewing material to replace Ted Koppel's 25 year old news program.

Sure they are a part of the American media machine and Nightline has been rumored (in some subculture circles) to have a list of people they will never have as guests (see also Noam Chomsky), but their occasional town hall meetings have always been interesting to watch (last week's panel forum on leaving Iraq was well done).

but jeez, can't you give your news brief a look-over before you publish it?
"apart"?? How about "a part"?
"they're town hall meetings"? They are town hall meetings? How about "their town hall meetings"?

Yeah, yeah.   reply

Due to a tragic accident and the flu, our fantastic team of extremely educated editors hadn't had a chance at this post before you commented. When you see a little icon/image attached to a post, you can know an editor has at least seen the post and it has passed our incredibly high standard of journalistic integrity.

WITH A LITTY BITTY WAIST
AND HIS SMALL DICK IN YOUR FACE
YOU GET STRUNG!

please, please DO NOT DO THIS.  I live in Eastern Time zone and stay up each and every night to see Nightline, which I consider to be an excellent show!!!

I saw the film and I really liked it. It is a good horror film, not like hill have eyes which is not so good. I liked that the story is a real story about a ghost in America. In Tennessee, in a city called Adams, in the south of America. It is a really good film, because the story is so fascinating and you wonder if it is really true. And the characters are really good. I like Sissy she is a good actress and she brings the character alive. I saw the film at the biff and I am a big horror fan. I hope this film will do good because it is real worth seeing! I thought that I was afraid, but my wife had to leave the room because she could not stand the film because it is so scary. I like scary films but my wife can not take it. But it is a good film!
