A Dangerous Chase for Ratings
February 2, 2006 - by
When I heard about ABC anchorman Bob Woodruff being injured in Iraq, I thought first about his wife and four children.
Then I thought about TV ratings.
The unpleasant truth is that Woodruff was sitting in that vehicle because ABC is desperately chasing evening-news ratings.
We all laugh when TV talking heads stand outside in hurricane-force winds.
This isn’t funny.
