Response to HuffPo post:
Yet another example of shoddy journalism, thanks to ABC, and further compounded by HuffPo's fantastic headline. The daugher did not 'call her dad a hero'; she was responding to a loaded, sound-bitey, sensationalistic question by the GMA host: "Is your father a hero?" A simple "no" does nothing for headines or ratings; but a put-upon "yes" spins this story in a new distraction/direction. Had the daughter declared her father a hero in her own words, all this ridiculous hoopla and faux outrage would be justified. Can't we just be outraged that a sick, sick man with an axe to grind against the IRS performed the ultimate act of cowardice and domestic terrorism? That's not enough?? Now we're going after his daughter because she supports her dead dad? Why? At what point do we re-focus on the actual news here?? -- KT
