GMA's All-Dem Panel Discusses President Ford

December 27th, 2006 11:30 AM

It's on days such as this that the absence of MSM balance is so striking.

In its first half-hour, here was Good Morning America's cast of characters discussing the life and times of President Gerald Ford:


  • George Stephanopoulos, former Clinton aide, guest-hosting for Diane Sawyer.
  • Charlie Gibson, predictable liberal, formerly a White House correspondent, now host of World News.
  • Cokie Roberts, daughter of two Democratic members of the House, who reminisced about her father Hale Boggs, the Democratic Majority Leader, interacting with Pres. Ford.
  • Sam Donaldson, antagonist of Republican presidents since time immemorial.

You'd think out of decency that ABC might have scared up one Republican for the crucial, first 30 minutes of the show. But no.
