ABC News Nightline

It's not a news show, but simply propaganda. I stumbled upon this show by accident only to see that it has an extremely bias agenda and trying to pass it as news.

I do not mind the show. A left wing slant, but not a overly left view. I only watch Nightline when they have an interesting guest or investigation. Nightline is mostly a run of the mill news show. The usual panel discussion, special guests, and the commentators own summary of the news topic. The special investigation segments is Nightlines saving grace. The investigation segments are usually about what the public should watch for. Nightline proves a News show can inform and alert the public. I love the heads up about scumbags and their evil antics. 6 out of 10. Not bad for late night TV. Tom is a decent anchor.

I used to be a huge fan of Nightline in the days with Ted Koppel. Nightline used to give you the information about a current issue in the country, then have a couple of experts debate the issue. I thought that it was very interesting and entertaining. But sadly, today, Nightline is nothing more than another news magazine show, and the stories are mostly boring. They mostly talk about stories that are already all over the news. Sadly, this is exactly what happened when Hugh Downs left 20/20, 20/20 used to be all about consumer investigations and undercover stings, today it's nothing more than a myth busting show beside what's already in the news. Most of these stories are already all over the news, and we don't want to hear them again, we want to hear something that's different and interesting!

Poo poo on Dan Harris and ABC for turning his (Dan's) book promoting meditation into a promo for a book he co-wrote with Jeff Warren. Shame on you. I thought I was watching an info commercial instead of learning about current events or top news stories. Shame, shame, shame and very tacky.

This show began at the height of the Iran hostage crisis and the incoming presidency of Ronald Reagan which changed America forever. Now adays, 24/7 news networks have taken over these late night news shows, and this one is part of a dying breed. Avoid it at all costs.
