what? couldn't lure geraldo back?
Remember when Geraldo was a respected ABC News journalist, back before he "opened Al Capone's vault" and earned sideshow status? Remember the good old days when you lost journalistic credibility after leaving ABC News? These days you cost ABC News its credibility by joining them.
Ending months of speculation, ABC announced it will try to keep its late-night news program Nightline trudging along after the loss of anchor Ted Koppel.
In a "one person can't follow that act!" move akin to having two villains in every Batman movie since Jack Nicholson's Joker, ABC assigned three people as Koppel's replacement: Cynthia McFadden, Terry Moran, and... Martin Bashir.
Martin Bashir?! The quack who is still always referred to as "British journalist" even after being hired by ABC for scoring them big ratings with his trashing of Michael Jackson?! I'm astounded this guy can get a job anywhere after Living with Michael Jackson. That was the most biased, slanted, character assassinating, chop job I have ever seen. That wasn't journalism that was vendetta for profit. And now he's hosting Nightline?!?! To paraphrase another pseudo-journalist, "Give me a f--king break!"
As far as I am concerned, with this hire Nightline has lost all credibility. Watch that first misstep, Nightline -- it's a doozie. You've gone from A-circuit headliner to back alley geek show with no stops in between.
What, you guys couldn't lure Geraldo back?
