Look, kids, it’s ABC attempting to spin the Merry Miller travesty into something fun! Oh joy! In the aftermath of Merry Miller’s butchering of an interview with Holly Hunter (see here), ABC News is doing everything it can to try to “deal” with the situation — by making light of it! Even Miller herself has gotten into the act. Gawker says: “In an attempt to make lemonade out of the lemon that was Merry’s interview with Holly Hunter, ABCNewsNow is holding a contest where the “prize” is a guest shot hosting “What’s the Buzz,” the scene of Merry’s famous flameout.” Har har, good try, boys, but everyone recognizes a FUBAR when they see one.

Wow, does Merry Miller actually speak English, or is she reading her teleprompter phonetically? I swear, I have never seen an anchorperson do such a poor job with an interview. Poor Holly Hunter. Here she is, an Academy Award winning actress, who has done some great works in her life, and all she’s trying to do is promote her new TV show “Saving Grace”, and she has to come face to face with this bumbling blonde who can’t even read the teleprompter without stumbling all over words like “Hello”, “Hi”, and, yup, ABC. Merry Miller actually MIS-IDENTIFIES HER OWN NETWORK at the end of the video segment! Truetruetrue, indeed!
