    What a joke ABC News is...

    The arrogance of ABC News is astounding. Is there any reason at all we should trust their judgment? The only thing news divisions care about any longer is ratings, and ratings are driven by beating the competition to sensational stories, which provides an incentive for inconclusive research and half-hearted scrutiny about the credibility of sources. What does Schneider even mean when he says the story was approved at "highest level?" The highest level people are the ones most concerned about ratings. Why should we trust their judgment?
