ABC News made the wrong choice in tapping Breitbart to have ANY role in their election coverage, but they corrected themselves in time, and won’t make that mistake again. I’ve bolded the most delicious, schadenfreudlich tidbits to savor after the polls close, as it’s likely to be one of the few pieces of good news to come out of today’s Election Day coverage.

We have spent the past several days trying to make clear to you your limited role as a participant in our digital town hall to be streamed on ABCNews.com and Facebook. The post on your blog last Friday created a widespread impression that you would be analyzing the election on ABC News.

Some aim to remove most basic government regulations, gut consumer protection laws, and cut federal aid to education. Republicans that are even more radical would seek to position Christianity as the effective state religion, essentially declare war on Islam, and press for aggressive action in Iran.
