Audacity of Truth

Pathetic: ABC sends reporter to Wasilla to “find” Levi Johnston for an interview
Mark Finkelstein reports (video is also at that link):
This clearly seemed to be an interview of the ambush sort, not something Levi had agreed to in advance. ABC apparently sent a crew up to Wasila to track Johnston down. As [Neil] Karlinksy said in introducing the interview, “we found Levi Johnston,” and there he was in his pickup, looking about as comfortable as some corporate exec confronted by Mike Wallace.
The oily-toned Karlinsky came close to saying that the way the relationship between Levi and Bristol Palin had been portrayed during the campaign was a sham:
“It was only days after joining Senator John McCain in his run for president that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin announced her teenage daughter Bristol was pregnant, adding that she planned to marry the father. Today, the couple’s relationship is a long way from where it was on stage at the Republican National Convention.”
Hey Karlinsky, ever heard of teenagers having a change of heart? It got worse . . .
At one point, after Levi said the baby meant everything to him, Karlinsky sprang this gotcha: “do you have a picture of him?” Yeah, wouldn’t that have great, Neil, if you could have portrayed Levi as a hypocrite, not having handy pictures of the child he claimed to mean so much to him? As it turned out, Levi did have pictures, clipped to the visor of his truck. But that wasn’t quite good enough for Karlinsky, who looked into the truck, then sniffed:
“Just the old ultra-sounds?”
Apparently this is what passes for “serious journalism” on Good Morning America: Stalking the ex-boyfriend of Bristol Palin and the father of their child in order to try and “expose” their relationship as ”sham.” What purpose did this interview serve? Did it enrich your life any? Will Americans go to bed tonight relieved to know that Levi Johnston apparently only has “old ultra-sounds” of his child in his pick-up truck? This reminds me of the media hit squad that descended onto Wasilla not longer after Gov. Palin was announced as McCain’s veep pick, and the “scandalous” stories like the one about her tanning bed and the possibility that her lipliner was tattooed on.
Let GMA know what you think about their sorry priorities and attempts at tabloid style “journalism.”

Karlinsky must be bucking for Jerry Springer’s gig
Truly sick …
Thanks for the link to ABC. I made my feelings known. Disgusting.
If only they would spend this much time looking into Dodd or Frank, they might have actually come up with something. – Lorica
My kids are 7 and 11 months. For some reason, I can never remember to put their pics in my wallet, or my car, etc. in case someone wants to see them. My children are clothed, fed, sheltered, etc., etc., etc. But since I don’t have pics at the ready, I will assume ABC would think I was a bad parent. Since the new stats say that 40% of all babies in this country are born out of wedlock, maybe ABC can try to find some of the dads who are deadbeats and do nothing for their children. (I’m not saying all dads with kids born out of wedlock are deadbeats – but there certainly more than there should be.)
In spite of his lofty rhetoric in support of womens’ rights, His Hollowness isn’t in the least concerned about deadbeat dads (or moms, in some cases). To chase after them would be racist, you see, because a higher percentage of them are “people of color”, and that would require holding certain people responsible for their own actions, and there are more important things to be concerned with what with MMGW and the ozone layer disappearing and all, and even just thinking of chasing deadbeat dads (except if it relates to prominent conservatives) implies the government isn’t responsible for everything.
Don’tcha see where this all leads? His house of cards is just getting started and can’t be concerned about deadbeat dads (unless as noted above).
ABC is full of news sluts, that’s all there is to this story. Just consider the source, and think twice next time before you go to or buy a product associated with that conglomerate (a certain movie/playland company comes to mind).
….and that’s why I don’t watch ABC – I watch FOX.
