ABC under fire for televised debate

A shameful night for the American media is Greg Mitchell's verdict on last nights televised debate between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton

ABC News hosts Charles Gibson and George Stephanopoulos focused mainly on trivial issues as Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama faced off in Philadelphia. They, and their network, should hang their collective heads in shame.

is how he describes it wandering how such major issues like Iraq,

had to wait for their few moments in the sun as Obama was pressed to explain his recent "bitter" gaffe and relationship with Rev. Wright (seemingly a dead issue) and not wearing a flag pin -- while Clinton had to answer again for her Bosnia trip exaggerations.

I'm glad that it is not just over here where politics is trivialised
