ABC - Great News Coverage; deceptive ads

Why do you allow Franklin Graham advertising time on World News Tonight? He’s basically spewing religious propaganda designed to appease Trump and enrich himself. It does discredit to ABC News, known for its fair and accurate coverage.

ABC News Review …

Closes all of the time before you ever get to the end … Never use to do this … Went from a great app to a terrible app …

Average app

After the last update, app shuts down before getting all the news stories.

Very biased reporting. You should report all the news without slanting it to fit your opinions.
And cover ALL the stories even if it’s about your parent company and programming.
