Surprised? Scandal for 'Rising Republican Star' Prompts ABC Coverage on Election 2014

[For more, see video cross-posted at NewsBusters.] Good Morning America is a profoundly superficial show. The ABC program on Monday devoted air time to Full House star Jonathan Stamos responding a blogger's criticism of the '90s show. So, what does it take for the program to cover the 2014 midterm elections? A Republican scandal helps. GMA reporter Mara Schiavocampo highlighted the revelation that Oregon GOP Senate candidate Monica Wehby's ex-boyfriend in 2013 called police, accusing her of stalking. Referring to her ex, Andrew Miller, Schiavocampo made sure to note: "The millionaire timber executive claiming the rising Republican star is a stalker..." To underline the point, the journalist reiterated, "So far, Wehby has been leading her Republican opponent in the polls."
