    Shilling for Disney resorts

    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.

    COMMERCIALS

    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.

    Professional, classy, and traditional was what you got from Peter Jennings.

    "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.

    More commercial than news

    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!
