Jade,
Fair enough. If those are the paramaters, then maybe he did cross the line a little bit. Since it did air on a "news program" I suppose it should have tried to hold itself, or ABC, should have held itself to a higher level.
Like I mentioned there was definitly his reaction to the zoo that turned me off. I guess were so inundated with tabloid news that sometimes it's hard to know what we are watching. That being said it doesn't bother me when Ted Koppell or Chris Matthews show thier skeptisism or disbelief with a subject or response to a question.
As far as Barbara Walters is concerned....my God...that woman became a parody of herself soooooo many years ago, I have trouble watching anything she's a part of.
