		If you live in San Fransisco or somewhere in the Bay Area, or perhaps even further than that, at 10 p.m.
		I think much of the blame goes to our Sotho society, and the southern African society at large, if only for allowing rape to go unpunished for so long.
		To top off the horrible, heart-breaking story of Liketso, after days of searching for her and e-mailing anyone I can think of, an orphanage in Lethoso e-mails me back to tell me that Lisothos's government makes it VERY difficult to adopt a child unless you live in Lesotho.

	'Primetime Live' Poll: More Republicans Satisfied With Sex Lives Than Democrats
		18, 2004 — Oct. 18, 2004 - American Sex Lives 2004, a new "Primetime Live" sex poll conducted in conjunction with the ABC News Polling Unit, is among the most comprehensive surveys of its kind in decades and establishes a new, detailed picture of sex attitudes and behavior in America today.
		Among the factors that impact the survey results is that more men identify themselves as Republicans and men are more likely to say they are sexually satisfied and enjoy sex "a great deal." Also, Democrats are more likely to be women; and the poll results show that women are more likely to fake orgasms.
		The American Sex Lives 2004 survey was conducted by telephone August 2-9, 2004, among a random, anonymous, national sample of adults 18-99 years old.

		I cut my teeth here at "Primetime" when I first came on board with stories about kids who live in the sewers of Colombia, stories about children who cut sugarcane in Haiti against their will, being held as slaves, stories about blood diamonds more recently in the Sierra Leone.
		We're blessed at "Primetime Live." We have a great staff of people who are always looking for the big question, for the story that people need to hear about.

	Now singing for ABC News: Kristy Glass of "Primetime Live" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Ross is returning to the newsmagazine after several years at "Good Morning America," and among her changes is airing the show live again every Thursday.
		She thought back to the short-lived NBC series with David Frost, which poked fun at current events with a vocalist, orchestra and puppets.
		"Primetime Live" isn't going that far, but chose New Yorker Kristy Glass to end the show with a song from among 134 women who auditioned.

	ABC's "Primetime Live" goes after Paula Abdul - Sean Hannity Discussion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Seems the Globe got the story first and in one week, on a Wednesday night, "Primetime Live" is going with the story that sometime last season one of the contestants had an affair with Paula and she even helped him pick out the songs he would sing.
		Seems to me "Primetime" would better spend its resources and manpower investigating Michael Schiavo and how an alleged wife abuser got a judge to OK starving his disabled wife to death.
		Perhaps "Primetime" and ABC News resents the rise of the whole Fox Network and maybe it rankles them that "American Idol" is such a popular American diversion, and then again, maybe it is safer to go after someone like Paula than Michael Schiavo and his attorneys.

	ABC's Primetime Live Report on Autism: Yellow Journalism At It's Worst
		At a February 2004 meeting of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Vaccine Safety Committee, a majority of renowned experts offered their research from the past decade, which continues to show a strong link between Thimerosal-containing vaccines and neurological injury like America's autism epidemic in children.
		"Primetime's claim that their story was an 'investigative' report would have been far more believable if it appeared they had even attempted to present the whole story," continued Redwood.
		"We are amazed that a respected hard news operation like ABC's Primetime Live appears to have failed to check their facts before making such a blatant misstatement," Redwood said.

	Commentary, February 18, 2005, A Special Analysis
		I am not saying that John of God should not have been investigated and used as a subject for the Primetime Live show, because this is a major matter of public curiosity — and it's news.
		In a position to help millions of viewers understand that they live in a rational universe, ABC has chosen instead to tell them that their sad superstitions are open to scientific questions.
		The fact that some "Primetime Live" viewers will undoubtedly decide against seeking professional medical help for serious ailments due to the slanted way in which this program was presented is more than just bad journalism...

	"Primetime Live" (1989) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		In 1998, ABC News combined "Primetime Live" with "20/20" (1978) to compete with "Dateline NBC" (1992) which aired four days a week at the time.
		In 2000, ABC News returned "20/20" and "Primetime" to their original forms but kept "20/20 Downtown" as a spin-off.
		These days, all you can expect from Diane Sawyer and the good folks from Primetime Live are butt-kissing sessions with A-list celebrities and criminal acts covered up and praised to the stars.

		Even before the ABC News show PrimeTime Live joined the fray in November with a widely publicized "undercover investigation" of Food Lion, the supermarket chain and the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union were at each other's throats.
		Food Lion's claim that the story was a put-up job by the union goes hand in hand with its accusation that PrimeTime Live might have concocted the health code violations being videotaped.
		And when PrimeTime Live's producers were having trouble getting inside the back rooms of Food Lion stores, it was the union they turned to for crucial help.

	The Brethren (Jim Roberts)
		They believe that living a holy life and abstaining from sin are major prerequisites for salvation.
		Some parents must live with the minimal or no contact, with their loved ones -- some not even knowing if they are still alive.
		However, in their drive to live a life as Jesus commanded -- forsaking all possessions and separating themselves from their family -- they generate immense amounts of grief and anger in many of their families of origin.

	Setiz Reviews PrimeTime (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		PrimeTime Live purchased 15 white silk blouses with fl braid buttons on which they put the exact amount in the same place of a spaghetti sauce and Coca Cola stain.
		I would be willing to bet that PrimeTime Live probably shot 20 hours or more of tape and when edited, selected those parts that made their story -- the story they were looking for, which was to confirm the Better Business Bureau allegations that consumers complain about drycleaners and the way they handle customer complaints.
		It's easy and convenient to try to find a scapegoat for what happened on PrimeTime Live, but the result is that the drycleaning industry didn't do what it should have done -- rmove the stains, safely.
