DRUDGE FLASH: Big Surprise, ABC News Producer Hates Bush... Exposed In Leaked Office Email

***SCROLL FOR UPDATES***

h/t Ian at Expose the Left, and of course Drudge for obtaining the email

Anyone with an ounce of honesty is fully aware that the American media tilts way to the left. They hate Bush, and they reveal it time and time again (1, 2, 3), and again, and again, and again (just a small sampling of recent examples). Well, today we get one of those "juicy" ones. A top producer from one of the "big 3" network news stations (all full of Bush haters) sent an email from his BlackBerry to a coworker about the President's speech saying:

"Are you watching this? Bush makes me sick. If he uses the 'mixed messages' line one more time, I'm going to puke,"

If you didn't know better you'd guess that was actually ripped off a post at the DailyBS (spelling?)... But you'd be wrong. That would be top producer at ABC NEWS, John Green. So wait, are you telling me that a major player in the network news game is a Bush deranged liberal!!!!! WHAAAAAA!?!?!? Who would have guessed right? I mean with all the honest objective journalism that we've seen come out of Rather, Mapes and the gang. I only name those as the most known examples, but it's an undertone that you can see in virtually every "story" these networks do.

Here's the Drudge exclusive, with an image scan of the email.

ABC NEWS EXEC: 'BUSH MAKES ME SICK'; E-MAIL REVEALED

**Exclusive**

A top producer at ABC NEWS declared "Bush makes me sick" in an email obtained by the DRUDGE REPORT.

John Green, currently executive producer of the weekend edition of GOOD MORNING AMERICA, unloaded on the president in an ABC company email obtained by the DRUDGE REPORT.

"If he uses the 'mixed messages' line one more time, I'm going to puke," Green complained.

The blunt comments by Green, along with other emails obtained by the DRUDGE REPORT, further reveal the inner workings of the nation's news outlets.

A friend of Green's at ABC says Green is mortified by the email. "John feels so badly about this email. He is a straight shooter and great producer who is always fair. That said, he deeply regrets the sentiment expressed in the email and the embarrassment it causes ABC News."

Developing...

Here's where the liberals miss the entire point, and rant in the comments about "free speech" and how us conservatives are whining and trying to infringe on Mr. Green's "free speech", and "FREE SPEECH, FREE SPEECH!", while missing the fact that our point is this is yet another nail in the coffin proving the liberal media bias we've been pointing out and exposing for years and years.

Here's an even more interesting angle to this. If this guy were sending this from a personal computer, with a personal email address, at home to friends or blogging at KOS that's one thing (although if it were leaked, it would still be worth mentioning to add that extra nail to the liberal media coffin saying "look, we told you")... But this is a top ABC News Producer, using an ABC BlackBerry device, using his ABC email address, and sending it to others at ABC like it's something they do everyday, because it probably is. Do you get what's wrong with this?! The larger picture!? For anyone who works in an office, you know it's not okay to be sending this sort of thing around, and you could get in trouble for it. But the liberalism at ABC News is so widespread, they think nothing of sending Bush hate emails. It's what they talk about around the water cooler anyway!

But anyway, this is supposed to be a leading organization where we get unbiased news from top journalism professionals, but this email reveals they're like a bunch of whiny Fahrenheit 911 watching KOS kids. Why should anyone trust them?! I won't be surprised if he's not, but to save face ABC should fire him immediately. I know, I know KOS kids "free speech".. But this is one ABC's dime that he's expressing political views and it compromises the (chuckle) integrity of ABC News. I suspect the rest of the media will largely ignore it, so the heat won't be on ABC and they'll all have a good laugh at the next cocktail party: "Whew, remember that time the blogs caught us expressing our Bush hatred but the rest of the media looked the other way! That was a close one huh? Haha, hey I'm gonna go see what Koppel's drinkin'...."

Again, not that you had any integrity to begin with ABC News, but you need to fire this guy immediately to maintain a shred of credibility (well, you don't have that either....). On second thought, I guess you can't lose something you don't have, so you might as well keep him. Less paperwork.

***UPDATE***
Drudge now has the text of an apology email now sent by Green to his ABC colleagues.

[UPDATE: Green sent email to ABC staff: "By now some of you have seen the DRUDGE REPORT featuring a private email I sent to a colleague in 2004. I want all of you to know how much I regret the embarrassment this story causes ABC. It was an inappropriate thing to say and I'm deeply sorry.']

Well, don't you think Bush's disdain for the press' rights guaranteed under the FOA might lead a reporter to dislike him? You have to write about/publish stuff like this since your access to any real information is, like anyone else's, extremely limited and short on substance. Wow, you paranoid, dishonest and hawkish neo-fascists are everywhere...

Thanks for being one of the most pointless and lame comments I've ever received.

I don't think Mr. Green had anything to apologize for. Bubba Bush makes me want to puke, too.

Tired of Bush
Tired of lying
Tired of Republicans
Tired of the growing Deficit - How many gazillions is it now?
Tired of seeing people die because a Republican president and FEMA can't get it together
Really tired of Tom Delay

Wow, your professor really got your worked up during Friday's political science indoctrin..... I mean class didn't he? First off, elect someone else if you're tired of it.

Bubba Bush makes me want to puke, too

First, "Bubba"? Second, that's fine.. but you aren't an ABC News (a network that would claim to be non-partisan) producer using your ABC blackberry to email other ABC employees casually about your hatred for the President during the first Presidential debate in 2004. You're just some uninformed lib who likes to spew a bunch of BS cliches not worth responding to... but you're also not anyone in a position at a news organization that shapes public opinion... or are you?
