    Pure propaganda

    It's not a news show, but simply propaganda. I stumbled upon this show by accident only to see that it has an extremely bias agenda and trying to pass it as news.

    "News Magazine"

    News Magazine is how they used to marketing this show...I started watching when the host was Cynthia McFadden and then Bill Weir and I used to learn something from every episode...something interesting, curious, heck even useful sometime...but nowadays those episodes are so few and far between! Hate that they don't think people are smart and know exactly when they are trying to sell you a specific point of view...when they manipulate the information to their interest. It's a sad thing, really...

    Old News Late at Night

    Wow. After I wrote a review (not favorable) of Nightline, I noticed that most of the reviews for this news (?) format goes back as far as 2003 or beyond. Doesn't say much for the show.

    I don't mind the show

    I do not mind the show. A left wing slant, but not a overly left view. I only watch Nightline when they have an interesting guest or investigation. Nightline is mostly a run of the mill news show. The usual panel discussion, special guests, and the commentators own summary of the news topic. The special investigation segments is Nightlines saving grace. The investigation segments are usually about what the public should watch for. Nightline proves a News show can inform and alert the public. I love the heads up about scumbags and their evil antics. 6 out of 10. Not bad for late night TV. Tom is a decent anchor.

    Personal Info Commercial

    Poo poo on Dan Harris and ABC for turning his (Dan's) book promoting meditation into a promo for a book he co-wrote with Jeff Warren. Shame on you. I thought I was watching an info commercial instead of learning about current events or top news stories. Shame, shame, shame and very tacky.
