As you know, ABC News is prepping George Stephanopoulos to take over its Sunday talking-heads news program. Some media critics want an explanation from Stephanopoulos before he is transformed into an "objective" media news icon.
This goes back to a conversation George had with Peter Jennings on Sept. 11. They were discussing the fact that Bush had flown to an Air Force base in Nebraska instead of racing home to DC.
Stephanopoulos said there was a situation room in the White House that could have been used. He knew about it because it had been used after the Oklahoma City bombing and, as George phrased it, the "bombing of TWA flight 800."
Excuse me … the "bombing" of flight 800? Why did George Stephanopoulos, who was a high-level presidential aide at the time flight 800 went down, call it a "bombing"?
It would be nice to see George Stephanopoulos explain that usage of the English language, wouldn't it?
