After contentious event, Stephanopoulos on the defensive, Obama on the offensive.

  • ABC criticized for handling of Democratic debate

    Critics excoriated ABC on Thursday for its televised Democratic presidential debate, slamming the network for "shoddy, despicable" moderators who they said favored Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama and dwelled on "gossip" instead of issues.

    Critics ripped ABC journalists Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos, a former Bill Clinton staffer, for wasting time during Wednesday's debate on questions like why Obama wasn't wearing an American flag pin or rehashing old disputes.
