ABC Evening News

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.

I use to watch ABC World News but switch to. Sheppard Smith with MSNBC. I switched because World New Tonight has TOO MANY COMMERCIALS. Unfortunately, he was cancelled. I switched back to World News for now. Muir tells a news story and switch to commercial, then tells another then goes to commercial. I love watching the news show but too commercials is leading me to start watching NBC. Don't understand why so MANY commercials so close together. I know that commercials are needed but it can be not so close together. I think you get more commercials than you do actual news. Hoping for more news s.

What a disappoint ABC WORLD NEWS has become. It's 5 commercials for 1 story. Painful to watch but i do it until i can watch my favourite, Lester Holt and NBC.

Since we lost Peter Jennings ABC is not nowhere near what it was!

"ABC News" was always highly informative in the evening with the now late and great Peter Jennings. The network was always on top of things in events, though from time to time the network would focus much on international and foreign affair issues. The reporting and interviewing was always top notch from people like Charles Gibson, John Stossel, and Elizabeth Vargas, and the legendary Barbara Walters and Hugh Downs were unbeatable. Yet the most traditional and best was Peter Jennings it was sad he passed so young, Peter always told the news in a traditional manner with such a smooth and calm voice and he was always a hard working newsman and anchor. And ABC is probably the most conservative of the big three certainly more to the right than NBC or CBS.

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.
