STATE-RUN MEDIA - What do you think of ABC teaming up with White House for its news?

STATE-RUN MEDIA
What do you think of ABC teaming up with White House for its news?

- It's a socially responsible move by the network
- It's a good way to get people interested in how government works
- Another example of Obama being open and transparent
- Obama has become "too big to fail," so the media need to support him in every way possible
- It's just a promotional gimmick by ABC to try to improve ratings
- Like Rush says, what do you expect from the state-run media? It's just blatant now
- Like Farah says, the media watchdogs have become government lapdogs
- It's the best example yet of a state-controlled media, just like in China
- That's it. I've had it with ABC and the rest of the broadcast media
- Other

Totally unsurprising. ABC, like every other news outlet just about, has been so far in the tank for 0bama that they will do anything and everything to keep him afloat.

We now have an official White House controlled Ministry of Propaganda.

Time for a total boycott of ABC and its advertisers.

Nice to see ABC “coming out of the closet” and not “living in the shadows.”

It reminds me of the old Third Reich and the old Soviet Union. A state run "media" is never a good thing.

We, as Americans, might want to think about taking our government back before it's too late.

ABC is a sell-out and they have been for years. This is just taking it to a new - and more dreadful - level.

The reporters at WABC are too dumb and lazy to do any independent thinking or research anyway - so this move just makes more blatant what was obvious all along. The WABC reporters are government stenographers.

NBC and now, ABC have proven that as 1st amendment watchdogs, they cannot be trusted, so I Submit they forfeit their protections under the 1st Amendment... and in the end, they will PAY for it.

besides if it wasn’t for CSI or NCIS, I probably wouldn’t watch the Networks at all... their coverage of MONICA, way back when, taught me that I don’t watch Network NEWS.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/reify re⋅i⋅fy /ˈriəˌfaɪ, ˈreɪ-/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [ree-uh-fahy, rey-] Show IPA –verb (used with object), -fied, -fy⋅ing. to convert into or regard as a concrete thing: to reify a concept. ******** The Statist-run MSM has been a reality for many decades. ABC moving their operations into the White House is merely the “reification” of this reality.
