Drudge Scoop: ABCNews Claims Will Run Terror-Endorsement at 6:30 EST
Just a headline on Drudge at the moment.
I rather doubt it, myself. I think ABCNews will run a portion of the tape, then make an oblique reference to possible "consequences" depending on the election. They will not allow the tape to speak for itself, nor will they report that Al Qaeda has formally demanded the election of Mr. Bad-Ass Terrorist Hunter himself, John Forbes Kerry.
This is a ratings stunt. It's also a modified limited hang-out-- they think if they air some parts of the tape that don't hurt John Kerry, then they can reduce the pressure to air all of it, and withstand charges of liberal bias.
Will this stand? I'm afraid it will. ABCNews is in the tank for Kerry and of course always has been. They can hold up for four or five days, and take whatever criticism is thrown at them.
The only hope is that someone with some balls at ABCNews copies the tape and sends it along to someone who will air it.
Like, for example, me.
I don't know how to air a videotape, but believe me, I'll learn quick.
