In Reply To: Please note the following change in corporate identity at ABC. As illustrated by Friday's edition of "20-20" featuring our in-depth look at "LOST", there is no longer an ABC News Division. ABC/Disney will now call it the Information Unit. (AKA-Corporate Blow-Job section). And David Weston becomes our Misiionary-in-Chief. The early evening show will now be known as ABC "World Information Tonight". "20/20" and "Prime Time Live" will stay as is and Good Morning America needs no name-change either. We appreciate the fact that ABC News once stood for quality and hard work. But shilling for the Mouse is what now pays the bills.(Even the late Roone Arledge knew where to draw the line.) Mr. Weston, despite his posturing. has no idea what that line is. And that'sokay because Disney has a nice retirement package ready for him when his mission to totally neuter the Division is completed.
Message: A terrible decision by the suits at ABC to have the in-depth "report" about "LOST" on "20/20". I have now lost all respect for Elizabeth Vargas. She can take over for Peter Jennings when hell freezes over.
