| Quote: | Elizabeth Vargas Steps Down Friday: A Look Back at Ten Years of Her Bias
by Brent Baker
May 26, 2006
Tonight (Friday) will be the last day as anchor of ABC's World News Tonight for Elizabeth Vargas, who after a maternity leave will reportedly return to the weekly 20/20. Before joining ABC in 1996, Vargas toiled at NBC. During her years at ABC, she was a regular fill-in co-host and news reader on Good Morning America and a frequent fill-in on World News Tonight, taking the lead role on that broadcast when Peter Jennings fell ill in early 2005. On the occasion of her stepping down from World News Tonight, from the MRC's archive, a look back at her most biased moments.
For the MRC's collection of 50 biased quotes from Charlie Gibson, who takes over Monday for Vargas, go to this page for the compilation which also features ten videos.
Ten items from the MRC’s Notable Quotables:

Insisting Bush Condemn Anti-Kerry Swift Boat Ad
"Even Republican Senator John McCain has called on the President to condemn this ad. Why hasn't he done so, this swift boat ad?"
-- ABC's Elizabeth Vargas to reporter Terry Moran on World News Tonight, August 19, the first night the broadcast mentioned the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.

Yet, I don't recall McPain condemning or calling for the condemnation of all the anti-Bush 527s.
If memory serves, Bush called for all to stop, he was the only one. |
