Putting back the curtain.

I like a lot of things about ABC News. David Muir, for instance. And the fact that they have really pushed buying Made in America products. But ABC is also sleazy and annoying. Diane Sawyer, for instance, charming as she is, has terrible diction and turns hundreds of two syllable words into three syllables. It makes me nuts to hear her talk about sparkelling, dazzeling, and gambelling. No matter. This week the were particularly transparent. As you may know Dr. Oz went to Congress supposedly to testify against frauds and while there was labelled as such himself. It was humiliating for this brilliant, but not always truthful surgeon. Well, what do you know. This week ABC is having a special in which Dr. Oz performs surgery, with all kinds of other ABC staff in admiring attendance. So obviously an attempt to put the wizard back in the good graces of his viewers. As Reverend Al Sharpton would say, "smart move, but we gotcha."
