Nightline Decline, FBI Raids and May Day Activism
ABC's *Nightline* is criticized for airing "soft" news stories about guardian angels, signaling a decline from its serious journalistic roots. Simultaneously, the hosts report on a series of FBI raids in Oakland, Seattle, and Olympia targeting "Black Block" activists ahead of May Day. They discuss reports of activists "disappearing" after being taken for questioning by federal agents.
