My colleague Jessica Barnes noticed yesterday that ABC went LIVE on two occasions to the Hezbollah protests bashing America in Beirut on “Good Morning America,” albeit just for a brief shot as they described the protests in passing. They also had the usual habit of describing Hezbollah in euphemistic terms as a “militant” group. But what’s really sad about this is that, on “Good Morning America” last week, they had no time for any coverage of the pro-American, anti-Baathist protesters. It’s additionally sad when you consider the same ABC morning show had no time in January for pro-life protesters in Washington, but can scramble to produce live pictures of an America-bashing protest by a terrorist group abroad.

For a real slice of pro-Baathist coverage, listen to NPR on yesterday’s “Morning Edition” here. Ivan Watson touted a “massive” demonstration, “really massive numbers that we have not seen in the opposition Lebanese protests…I must say, though, that despite this huge number of people [at] this Hezbollah-led protest, it is peaceful, it is very well-organized, and people are very friendly.”
