"Nightline" Needs a Lifeline

Another nail in the coffin of the Left's theory that the MSM is all about hard journalism:

ABC News last week shot a pilot for one possible "Nightline" replacement, a freewheeling show hosted by Washington reporter Jake Tapper and Bill Weir, the co-anchor of the weekend edition of "Good Morning America," according to two people inside the network. One of the pilot's top stories was about the Michael Jackson child molestation trial — exactly the kind of tabloid-friendly fodder that the generally sober-minded "Nightline" has tended to avoid.


Jake Tapper will be a familiar name for many who've been following the Internet for the past several years, and his involvement with a potential "Nightline" replacement is a strong indication ABC simply doesn't get that their political bias is a big problem.

This also would cause me to wonder what they've got in store for George Stephanopolous, the most visible face of that bias.

When will the networks stop looking to the DNC for its minor league bench?
