Since ABC is basically the publicist for Taylor Swift, I thought I would inform you of a story that you obviously had no interest in but was exceptionally newsworthy: Nicko McBrain, drummer for the iconic British rock band Iron Maiden, announced his retirement after 42 years of continuous service. McBrain, a resident of Florida, suffered a stroke early in 2023 leaving the right side of his body partially paralyzed. Through extensive physical therapy, he was able to regain about 70% use of his right side and perform on the band's hugely successful Future Past World Tour through 2023-24. The tour concluded the day before this news broadcast on December 7th in Sao Paulo Brazil where McBrain took his final bow in front of an estimated 90,000 fans at Allianz Parque stadium. In addition, other South American dates on this tour broke sales records. The show in Bogota Columbia broke records previously held by The Rolling Stones, Madonna, Ed Sheeran, The Weeknd and Coldplay. Other markets sold out in minutes. This tour alone performed to over 1.4 million fans over 81 dates. Nicko bowed out with thousands of Brazilian fans chanting his name. ABC news repeatedly covers the superfluous and vapid Taylor Swift. She is an industry plant who has had everything handed to her. It would have been nice if ABC covered this story to give Mr. McBrain the respect he deserved for his final send off; or at the very least, put it in the America Strong segment for his determination to overcome adversity. It appears you never even knew about it. Your entertainment segments sometimes cover people of substance but your coverage of Taylor Swift is continuously frivolous.
NO air news on…..😢 wwlll

In history years from now well show you all the presidents and what ybey stan for. Watch.
The CEO was scheduled to testify against Nancy Pelosi insider trading and Trump was going to prosecute Nancy
Trump is acting like a king. Not a president. All government programs begin cute that money goes back to the taxpayers. Remember that it doesn't belong to Trump or Elon. They think they get to keep the taxpayers money.
The person at McDonald's who told on the killer is in big trouble… leave it to the media to expose the whistleblower now his/her life is in danger…thx to the news…. SMFHRN 🙄
So, about the gunman. Now you mtfk are able to found out who is the guy that shot United Healthcare CEO.
But you mtfk can’t find the pipe bomb guy and the the other guy who killed Seth Rich who’s about to testify in Hillary case.
CIA created "Alquada " what about the thousands of Palestinians being murdered.
I seen a commercial on what America was built on .
More to come. I am The Chosen One!
I told yall governments will fall!
That cop running into people I know what happened it's that crack
You got to admit, when an institution turns people into numbers with no empathy, those numbers wont have empathy in return. Empathy is for those who struggle together. The police should be reimbursed by UCH, not tax payers.
Prayers go out to the health care ceo & his family but did they check the bridge maybe he jumped in the water.. top ceo, people hire up please hire security always
Must of known sum dirt on pelosi gang
Saying the monopoly was a reference to healthcare companies, being a monopoly, suggest that he believes in privatized healthcare , more competition, more companies, it doesn’t make sense to me. I think playing games with people’s lives that might make more sense to me.
