GMA Hypes Video of Reckless Daredevil, Slams Other Reckless Daredevils

[See NewsBusters for more.] Good Morning America is not a serious news show. But even by the loose standards of ABC, the program's journalists set a new standard for cynicism. On Tuesday, hosts both hyped a reckless daredevil and later condemned such people.  At 7:15am, news reader Amy Robach enthused, "One daredevil is surely at the top of his game! Take a look at his latest stunt. He's the first person in the world to stand on top of the arch that rises nearly 450 feet over London's Wembley stadium."  Robach and the GMA crew marveled at James Kingston as video played of the man walking, with no net, barely keeping steady as he risked his life. (Kingston has been previously arrested for such stunts.) Less than 30 minutes later, the show changed course and chided such dangerous activity. Lara Spencer scolded, "We're back now with a warning for parents about a dangerous trend. It's called car surfing, riding on the outside of a vehicle while it's moving."
