ABC Touts Ron Reagan Jr.’s Alzheimer ‘Revelations’ About his Father for 24 Minutes Over Four Days

Over a span of four days and three programs, ABC donated 24 minutes of coverage to Ron Reagan's new book and the allegations that his father had symptoms of Alzheimer's while being President. On Tuesday, he appeared on Good Morning America for almost eight minutes of promotional coverage. Guest co-host Elizabeth Vargas teased the segment by proclaiming, “Coming up in just a moment, new revelations about President Reagan and when he developed Alzheimer's .” Wouldn't “allegations” have been a more fair way to describe the claims of Ronald Reagan's liberal son? In addition to appearing on Tuesday's GMA, the book was discussed on the Monday, Sunday and Saturday edition of the program. Vargas interviewed Ron Reagan for almost nine minutes on Friday's 20/20. Additionally, World News anchors highlighted the insinuations on Friday, Sunday and Monday. The grand total comes out to 24 minutes and 12 seconds of interviews or coverage.
