About the same way FOX says that they are fair and balanced. LOL

Just how and when did ABC News claim they were unbiased? Was this part of a promotional slogan? Was it in a statement made by the news division president? Was it an off-hand comment made by a reporter? Did a news anchor flatly say "This network is one-hundred percent unbiased"?
If they are literally advertising themselves as unbiased, I suggest you and some friends band together and file a class action lawsuit against ABC News for false and misleading advertising.
Now just because we can define "unbiased" in the abstract doesn't mean we can all come to a consensus over what a news network free of bias actually is --that will never happen, because even if ABC News changes its ways to satisfy you, someone else will cry "bias!" I suggest that if a network fails to live up to your standards of objective journalism, don't patronize it. Try CBS, CNN, NPR, Fox, Pacifica Radio, the web, newspapers (print journalism - what a concept!), magazines, etc. The options are out there.

Which ABC are you talking about? The American Broadcasting Corporation which is biased as is all US media to various degrees or the Australian Broadcasting Corporation which has a history of impartiality.
All journalists bring their biases into their work even when they try not to.

it's impossible. al news medias are biased in their own way. Fox is conservately biased, and ABC, which is owned by Disney, answers to Disney's request. It could be said that showing Rosie against Elisabeth; could be trying to attract liberal viewers who agree with her. Ah corporations!
