While Jennings' bias during the recent Iraq war was obvious, he has consistently skewed his newscast in favor of liberals and against conservatives. To mark the ABC anchor's anniversary, the MRC presents a litany of his most biased episodes.

Peter�s Back from Vacation, Liberal as Ever, Attacking on Iraq Peter�s back. After taking most of the summer off, Peter Jennings returned Tuesday night to his World News Tonight anchor chair and delivered a liberal line-up as only he could. He teased the September 2 broadcast: �On World News Tonight, an influential voice in Iraq says the U.S. must leave, and there�s been another car bombing. We�ll take 'A Closer Look� tonight at how Iraq is going to dominate business in the Congress this fall: So may priorities and too little money. The Democratic presidential race: John Kerry attacks the President today. He says the American people have been misled about Iraq...� Plus, now that former Army Secretary Thomas White is critical of the Bush team, Jennings treated him as a wise sage on Iraq. 2. ABC & CNN Skip Kerry�s Distortion About Only �Threatening� Force After ABC�s Peter Jennings focused on how John Kerry �says the American people have been misled about Iraq,� Dan Harris proceeded to trumpet: �With an aircraft carrier as the backdrop, the unmistakable message of Senator John Kerry�s announcement today was that, as the only Democrat who is a decorated war hero, he is best-suited to take on a popular wartime President.� But in emphasizing how Kerry �was very tough on President Bush� on �the situation in Iraq,� Harris, like CNN�s Candy Crowley, skipped over how Kerry re-wrote history in claiming that he only voted to �threaten� Saddam Hussein. FNC�s Carl Cameron, however, picked up on what he kindly described as Kerry�s �questionable claim.� 3. Kerry�s Repeal of Bush Tax Cuts Doesn�t Go Far Enough for Sawyer John Kerry appeared on all three broadcast network morning shows on Tuesday, and all three noted his struggling performance in the polls, but only ABC�s Diane Sawyer suggested his repeal of the Bush tax cuts is far too incomplete: �But if you only repeal those above $200,000 [a year], we calculate that it comes to some $40 billion against a potential $470 billion deficit. What does it gain?� But Sawyer did not follow up when Kerry said he�d use his tax cut repeal for more health care subsidies, as if that wouldn�t increase the dreaded deficit. But she found time to ask him to name his favorite movie, car and dessert. 4. Olbermann Denigrates FNC as Bunch of McCarthyistic �Demagogues� MSNBC�s Keith Olbermann, who once said that Ken Starr reminded him of the Nazi Heinrich Himmler, on Tuesday night, during a session with left-wing ranter Al Franken, denigrated the Fox News Channel as a bunch of �demagogues.� Recalling how past demagogues like Joe McCarthy have �self-destructed,� Olbermann raised the unsuccessful lawsuit against Franken for using the �fair and balanced� phrase and queried Franken: �Did you get some kind of comfort from this laughable lawsuit that maybe the latest set of demagogues are starting to fray at the edges and maybe headed towards self-destruction?� 5. �Top 10 Things Overheard at President Bush's Labor Day Barbecue� Letterman�s �Top Ten Things Overheard at President Bush's Labor Day Barbecue.� See today�s entire CyberAlert at: http://www.mediaresearch.org/cyberalerts/2003/cyb20030903.asp ________________________________________________________________________________ Advertisement NEW JOB OPENINGS!

Perhaps it�s an abortion clinic bombing, a remembrance of past segregation and racist violence, or some rerun of the strange ways those Bible-thumpin� Christians act. Enlightened journalists no doubt still chortle at the memory of the 1960s singer-satirist Tom Lehrer worrying about when "Alabama gets the bomb." The state�s Chief Justice, Roy Moore, brought the national media circus to town by plopping a granite monument of the Ten Commandments in the middle of the state�s top court building in 2001. What happened when... Read the latest column written by L.
