ABC News' Phony Peace Protesters

01/27/2003
Weekend anchor Terry Moran on ABC's World News Tonight/Saturday, Jan. 18, wanted to make an especially strong case for worldwide disagreement with President Bush's policy on Iraq. After stories of 'regular folk' coming out in freezing weather to 'protest for peace' in Washington, he moved on to the activities outside the Beltway:

"The scene was similar on the West Coast where anti-war protesters marched in San Francisco. Tens of thousands of people packed the city's streets and, as in Washington, they called for the U.S. to resolve the crisis in Iraq peacefully. And there were anti-war demonstrations in dozens of cities around the world as well. Thousands of demonstrators blocked traffic as they marched in Syria's capital, Damascus. In Tokyo, the scene was similar…"

Hardly surprising that ABC's producers dug up an anti-American demonstration in Syria, but anti-war? No way! An AP story had this to say about the same Damascus demonstration:

"Not all protesters were pushing for peace: In the Syrian capital, Damascus, some people shouted, 'Our beloved Saddam, strike Tel Aviv', a refrain from the 1991 Persian Gulf War."

Here we go again: ABC News twisting the facts to support an anti-American, anti-George Bush agenda! Below is the contact information.
