Brent Bozell: Ari's bias briefing: "One of the juiciest anecdotes in the book concerns ABC White House reporter Terry Moran, whose sharply opinionated questions make him look like he's auditioning for the role of the next Helen Thomas. On April 28, 2003, President Bush made a speech to Arab-Americans in Dearborn, Mich., proclaiming his confidence in the ability of the Iraqi people to create a new democracy and his commitment to helping build that vision. The crowd went wild in an emotional response. But ABC only gave the speech two sentences.
Fleischer asked Moran: Why so little coverage? 'I couldn't get it on the air,' Moran tells him, adding: 'If they had booed him, it would have led the news.'"
