Borowitz - ABC News Adopts Zero-Tolerance Policy for News
NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)Going forward, ABC News will have a zero tolerance policy for news, the CEO of parent company Disney said at an all-hands meeting on Thursday.
In recent days, Ive heard troubling reports of ABC News employees recklessly dabbling in news, Bob Iger told the gathering at ABCs Manhattan headquarters. This ends now.
Declaring ABC News a news-free zone, he said, If you find yourself tempted to do news, I want you to ask yourself: is it worth risking your career?
Igers anti-news policy, however, drew a harsh rebuke from Fox News Channel, who claimed that ABC was infringing on its brand.

(12,715 posts)what business does an supposedly non-partisan cartoon developer and amusement park owner, have in owning the broadcast of the supposedly truthful news I'm watching, and altering it to fit his partisan political views.
ABC should divest from cartoon Bob, and report the truth. This goes for all owners of network/cable news stations. Get the hell out of the news rooms.
