New Jersey Republican U.S. Senate nominee Jeff Bell on Friday issued a response to WPVI’s decision to remove the 2014 U.S. Senate debate from further viewing. Bell said:
“On Wednesday, WPVI (Philadelphia’s ABC affiliate Channel 6) ordered C-Span to remove New Jersey’s only 2014 U. S. Senate debate from the C-Span website. Since Channel 6 is not offering the debate for viewing on its own website, this means that the only debate between Senator Cory Booker and me is no longer available online to the voters who will decide this election next Tuesday. This is a decision by a major news organization to suppress a program that the very same news organization, itself the main media sponsor of the debate, has described as an essential service to the public.
“I commend C-Span for televising the debate five times in the last four days, and regret the decision of the debate’s producer, Channel 6, to deny a similar opportunity to its own viewers and to the voters of our state.”
With press inquiries, please contact Bell for Senate Press Secretary Gia Coluccio at (732) 851-3506 or Gia@Bell2014.com
Gee, I wonder why.
Can’t something be done about the incredibly irresponsible media? And these are the local girls, are they not? Unless ABC pulled those strings as well.
The media is far more dangerous that Obama ever was. Nothing less than the future of our nation is at stake.
Media’s total flip-flop from pursuing the truth to complete suppression of truth, the liberal must have naturally made a fool of himself.
License renewal time ?
Maybe I'm missing something here, but how can a local commercial broadcast station order C-Span to do anything?
Not taking Channel 6’s side but it could be something along the lines of copyright infringement as Channel 6 produced the debate, they might also own the rights to it. This is me just speculating here.
Da law is da law. (best stalone voice)
“License renewal time ?”
They’re a shoo-in for renewal under this regime.
Good point. If Channel 6 produced the broadcast, and one of their news anchors served as moderator, they may have the right to restrict its use.
The media is far more dangerous that Obama ever was. Nothing less than the future of our nation is at stake.”
Same thing! No difference. 2 sides of the same Marxist regime.
The answer is simple.
Put up an ad that makes clear the complicity of C-Span in covering up the @$$ whooping the liberal received, and ask “Why are they afraid to show the pitiful performance to the voting public?”
