Whether an attempt at being humorous, or just bad journalism, the cast of Good Morning America at ABC made a joke out of the bankruptcy of Hostess by handing out a plate of Twinkies. The 18,500 workers expected to lose their job may not find it quite as amusing.
Hostess has been in search of a solution to keep the business operating, but failed to reach a deal with the bakers union. As a result, Hostess CEO Gregory Rayburn announced the striking workers and resulting costs will prohibit the company from continuing to exist.
NewsBusters noted that both CBS This Morning and NBC’s Today both treated the matter as a serious news story and focused more on the people who will be out of work.

This is the second time in a week that ABC has demonstrated poor judgment. See a related story at ABC News accuses conservatives of inventing Petraeus conspiracy theories.

Bet it would not be funny if they all lose their job.
Thanks for the Video.
I did not know that ABC was still on the air,
ABC laughs at a lot of stuff that is devastating to others!!
I didn’t know ABC still existed. I thought abc, cbs & nbc had already been removed from the air. With all the free air time for obama and the liberal democrats, I guess I was wrong.
If this happened one month ago they would be blaming it on Mitt Romney
They were more worried about the twinkies disappearing off the shelf, then the 18,500 all losing their jobs. I just love how passionate and caring the libs truly are.
next thing you know the white house will be blaming prez bush
@duncan haven’t they already? Neilson survey diary arrived, no abc, nbc, cbs or pbs in mine… oops
Now it’s Romney’s fault.
Never watch them & don’t know anyone that does other than my 92 y/o mother-in-law.
