    I’m not even sure what national ABC is; as far as I’ve ever seen its local affiliates. Unless we’re just talking Disney which I guess is left leaning (that is, if acknowledging gay people existing is left leaning which honestly is kind of sad).

      W/ the national vs local I was speaking broadly about the major US news sources. Not just ABC. Even local Fox tends to be slightly less decisive.

        I worked for a local Fox affiliate and, as much as I hated it for other reasons, I can tell you that our journalists and producers were sincere about getting out accurate local reporting.

        Fox affiliates aren’t so bad, ya. I grew up on Good Day LA and it was mostly daytime fluff pieces anyway.
