Please, ABC — Leave This Work to the Professionals
Oh boy! A Press Release from ABC News!ABC News and AOL News today announced “The People’s State of the Union ,” an interactive news campaign that will feature a live ABC News blogger and “truth squad” analysis on AOLNews.com. The campaign will also allow viewers to contribute text and video comments on their reaction to the State of the Union and the Democratic Response with select portions airing throughout ABC’s State of the Union coverage on ABC News programs, ABC News Now, ABCNews.com and AOLNews.com.
Liveblogging the SOTU! The future is now!
Personally, we’re excited about the “text and video comments” that will be shown, presumably, in a running ticker under the President, not unlike TRL.
“This is Monica and Stephanie from the University of Maryland and we just wanted to say private health savings accounts are da bomb!
“yo, just wanna giv a shoutout to my boy Justin!! i miss you and i hope to see you next semester give alito a straight up-or-down vote!!! federalizm 4-eva!”
It may not be the most appropriate time to make fun of ABC News, what with everyone who works there dying, being forced into retirement, or getting blown up, but when they stop and wonder why journalists are being targeted in Iraq, someone needs to remind them that they go around using phrases like “truth squad” and “electronic town square.”
