20/20 | comment |
This Prime Time News series on ABC began in 1978. Longtime anchors Hugh Downs and Barbara Walters previously worked together on NBC's Today. Reporters on 20/20 have included John Stossel, Geraldo Rivera, Lynn Sherr, David Muir, Bob Brown and the ever-popular Sylvia Chase. Began as a hard-news program, but slowly devolved until it is now mainly a purveyor of Missing White Woman Syndrome stories and fawning celebrity profiles (though it still does solid investigative pieces from time to time).In 2018, the show transitioned to a hostless format which spotlights a single True Crime story each week. | |

Author Tract: Many of John Stossel's segments were accused of being biased in favor of his well-known libertarian views. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
20/20 / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The very first edition was incredibly bizarre — featuring two magazine personalities as hosts (Harold Hayes of Esquire and Robert Hughes of Time), and a strange mix of hard news and fluff, capped off with a satiric Claymation short featuring then-President Carter and Walter Cronkite(!). The intention was to be for news what Wide World of Sports was for sports; Roone Arledge, the creator of WWOS and head of ABC Sports, had just taken command of ABC News as well. It was savaged by critics and the public, and the next edition saw Hugh Downs as host and the standard serious tone and format in place. | |

Hollywood Exorcism | |
20/20 / int_ee519430 | comment |
Hollywood Exorcism: A much-hyped 1991 episode featured video of Catholic priest James LeBar performing an exorcism on a teenage girl named Gina, with the approval of church leaders (on the grounds that it exposed how Satan works in the modern world). Despite no levitation or similar fantastic elements, the unusual nature of the ritual and the histrionics of the girl made it oddly compelling television. But it became a big center of controversy, particularly when it was revealed that Gina was a psychiatric patient, leading to accusations that the show was exploiting mental illness for ratings. | |
