'''James McManus''' is a journalist, formerly of the [[Caprica Times]], now anchor host of the [[wireless]] broadcast show "[[The Colonial Gang]]".

No fan of [[Laura Roslin]], McManus tends to be harsh in his criticism of her, her policies and her staff. Whether this is a reflection of his real feelings towards her, or whether his is simply playing to the audience is unclear ([[Colonial Day]]).

McManus moderates the presidential election debates between President Laura Roslin and Vice President [[Gaius Baltar]] ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I]]). He also announces the voting results of each ship during the Roslin vs. Baltar presidential election ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).

McManus later discusses the state of the civilian government with Vice President [[Tom Zarek]] after Roslin and half of ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> air wing is apparently abducted from the Fleet by the [[Cylon Civil War|rebel Cylon]] [[basestar (RDM)|basestar]], where Zarek blatantly points out that the government since the attack is run by fiat ([[Sine Qua Non]]).

== Notes ==

* On modern-day Earth, the announcement of election results is a job usually reserved to senior news anchorpersons, which leads to the assumption that McManus is the most reputable news journalist within the Fleet.
