ABC Again Compares Bush Admin Actions to Illegal CIA of the Past

Media Research Center



Two days after ABC correspondent Liz Marlantes suggested that the Bush administration engages in abuses that are worse than illegal CIA activities from decades ago, on Tuesday's World News with Charles Gibson, ABC's Terry Moran made his own comparison between the past when the CIA was "running amuck" and modern times: "But many experts say they [documents] also shed light on this era, on the question of what the agency should and shouldn't be doing at a time when the CIA is running secret prisons, using coercive interrogation techniques like waterboarding and expanding its role in the war against al-Qaeda and other terrorists."

The June 25 CyberAlert conveyed: On ABC's World News Sunday, during a story about the release of classified information regarding the CIA's "cloak and dagger" past in the 1960s and 1970s, correspondent Liz Marlantes suggested that the Bush administration engages in abuses that are worse than the illegal activities detailed in the documents: "But this all comes when the CIA is under fire for an alleged array of current abuses, including the use of secret prisons and torture. Some say the activities of the past may look mild by comparison." See: www.mrc.org

Below is a complete transcript of Moran's report from the Tuesday, June 26 World News with Charles Gibson:

Re: the references to "is this the turning point"? I really lol'ed.

This is exactly the reason we see Hollywood churning out movie remakes of '70's sitcoms and why there are 100+ variations on the reality show theme.

The decision makers are uninspired elitists with low esteem for the combined IQ of their collective audience.

And, unfortunately, with respect to the latter, they are often correct.
