Meredith Viera is a train wreck. But Robin Roberts is painful to watch. Remember when Charlie and Diane were neck and neck with "Today?" Now we have Roberts. She has no journalistic standards. She’ll make herself the center of ANY story. And she regularly forgets to leave her personal opinions at the door. A “journalist” reports the news, and does not personally spin it, sharing her opinions freely. Roberts has no objectivity, doesn’t even try to hide it, and viewers can see it. It's great if you share her politics. But if you don't, you know you're not getting a fair shake when she reports a story. Are we not surprised she’s losing viewers for ABC?
