The Resume

    (March 24, 1980- )

Why Nightline might be annoying:

    Ted Koppel initially thought the name was 'crappy.'
    It has frequently brought Henry Kissinger to its program.
    For this reason, many have criticized it for being the 'transmission belt for official U.S. views.'
    The FAIR watchdog organization has charged it with being overly influenced by white male corporate guests.
    On the 40th anniversary of Jackie Robinson entering Major League Baseball, Los Angeles Dodger executive Al Campanis was an invited guest. He stated African-Americans lacked 'necessities' to be major league managers, which caused Campanis to be fired.
    It was in danger of being thrown off the air after ABC made repeated attempts to get David Letterman (2002).

Why Nightline might not be annoying:

    It won five Peabody Awards.
    It brought Jim and Tammy Bakker to the airwaves for an interview, which garnered 42% of network viewers.
    George Bush and Michael Dukakis appeared well after they stopped giving interviews to other sources.
    It is tougher and less sensational than most other news magazines.
    It doesn't allow idiots to scream at each other as the cable news channels do.
    It has the reputation of being smart and making all sides of the political spectrum comfortable.
    It refuses to hype itself as similar programs on other networks do.
    It has been called the most significant addition to television news since the creation of '60 Minutes.'
