ABC Evening News

I used to trust ABC News to deliver news. Lately, though, they are using the limited time in their broadcast to "report" what is happening at Disney resorts. I cannot believe real news people are putting up with shilling for Disney products and calling it news. It is appalling.

There is a lot going on in the world and, given the large number of ads in a 30-minute broadcast, there is actually less than 18 minutes devoted to reporting news. To displace coverage of events that matter with events important mostly to Disney properties is a disservice to viewers and an embarrassment to professional reporters.

Tonight David Muir teased the Disney honors no less than 5 times then devoted more than two minutes to the awards ceremony, now streaming on Disney+. This is not news, it is using a supposed news program to shill for ABC's parent company.

We will NOT stop celebrating Christmas. As the Government wants us too. We don't care about the fear you try to put in us with your scary predictions. We are FREE AMERICANS AND WILL MAKE OUR OWN DECISIONS. NOT THE GOVERNMENT.

Of the "big three" anchors of the '80s and '90s, it always seemed like Peter Jennings was the most intellectual. Hard to believe that in his 22 years as anchor, he covered the collapse of the Soviet bloc and later September 11. As I understand it, early criticism of him came because of his more circumspect approach to certain topics than other anchors (or maybe it was just because he was Canadian).

Still, from what I've heard, it would have been good to see "ABC Evening News" during the Vietnam War and hear John Chancellor's indictment of that war. I remember when Peter Jennings showed the 25th anniversary of the modern broadcast's first airing (they reported on the trial of some Soviet Jews): John Chancellor correctly identified that the USSR was dooming itself to failure.

But no matter. Had Peter Jennings survived a few more weeks, he could have covered Hurricane Katrina. I had never known that he smoked. But a radio station noted that he reported on anti-war protests when the US invaded Iraq, so you gotta give him credit for that.

So, for all it's flaws, I recommend this news show.

David Murr ABC , CBS, CMBC NBC, How come none of use report the real facts in our country , how Biden is destroying the USA. Open boarders,Afghanistan pull out , Inflation high as ever before the war. You blame everything on Trump so if you don't report the real facts like Fox News you all should you all are guilty for misinforming the people of the USAand all should lose your jobs. We have more crime then ever with illegal imagrants , people losing their jobs and now living on the streets, taking in imagrants and boarding them with shelter and money before our own Veterans, you all should be ashamed of yourselves.

We have always liked David Muir news program but wonder why it is necessary to repeat the headlines at least three times during the program. It is too repetitive and done every day. Our memory is fine and can't help but think we could get a good more info if it was not done,
