Spent a little time at edgar.sec.gov today.

I put the outside directors on because they don't like bad PR for the companies whose boards they serve on, and they can really put heat on the executives at Disney/ABC.

while you're at it, ask them why they are holding “The Path to 9/11” hostage.

I doubt that they’ll read anything. They have staff to do that for them and they’d just delete them.

Disney Corp doesn’t really care anymore. They allow Hispanic gangs to carve their acronymns in the bottom of the toilets in Disneyland these days.

I doubt if writing them would have any effect. Maybe write to a sponsor and complain.

Writing to an advertiser will get a lot more of a result.

Gibson the Biased Media Bully: "Please take off your American flag pin. It is an abomination that is now prohibited by ABC rule."


Charlie Gibson's Gaffee

"The Times got it wrong. And Charlie Gibson got it wrong.
There is no single meaning of the Bush doctrine. In fact, there have been four distinct meanings,
each one succeeding another over the eight years of this administration --
and the one Charlie Gibson cited is not the one in common usage today.
...... I know something about the subject because, as the Wikipedia entry
on the Bush doctrine notes, I was the first to use the term.
Charles Krauthammer


Comparison: Gibson Questions for Obama (and Edwards in 2004) vs. for Sarah Palin

Obama's Puff-piece interview:
How does it feel to break a glass ceiling?
How does it feel to “win”?
How does your family feel about your “winning” breaking a glass ceiling?
Who will be your VP?
Should you choose Hillary Clinton as VP?
Will you accept public finance?
What issues is your campaign about?
Will you visit Iraq?
Will you debate McCain at a town hall?
What did you think of your competitor’s [Clinton] speech?

Palin's 'kangaroo court' interview:
Do you have enough qualifications for the job you’re seeking?
Specifically have you visited foreign countries and met foreign leaders?
Aren’t you conceited to be seeking this high level job?
Questions about foreign policy
-territorial integrity of Georgia
-allowing Georgia and Ukraine to be members of NATO
-NATO treaty
-Iranian nuclear threat
-what to do if Israel attacks Iran
-Al Qaeda motivations
-the Bush Doctrine
-attacking terrorists harbored by Pakistan
Is America fighting a holy war? [misquoted Palin]


"Charles Gibson of ABC News was out for blood and inherently applied
a double-standard compared with the kid gloves George Stephanopoulos
used on Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois on Sunday night.
Gibson was out to embarrass Palin and expose her presumed ignorance from the word go. "

UPI Say ABC Exhibits Double Standard


ABC News Edited Out Key Parts of Sarah Palin Interview


Boycott ABC sponsors:
Target, Glade Scented Oil (SC Johnson), Plavix, Advil PM,
Verizon, BlindsTOGo, Magic Eraser (Mr. Clean), Stop and Shop,
Toyota, Bali Bras, Ghost Town (movie), Prilosec OTC, Verizon Wireless,
Ethan Allen, AT&T, Werther Original Chocolates, Garnier Hair Products

On the other hand -- maybe thanks should be order.
After using such ham-handed tactics to attack a candidate - rather than interview - they've probably tacked on a couple extra points to the McCain/Palin ticket.

People's memories aren't perfect, but they have a good enough recollection that they know none of the Democrat candidates were 'interviewed' in this manner.
I wish we could broadly publish the transcript comparisons between Gibson's Palin condescending 'assault' and the Obama (July 2008) and Edwards (~August 2004) obsequious tributes. Seeing them posted here on the Freerepublic was quite eyeopening.
A night and day difference in interview styles (and questions) by the same person... Speaks volumes about the media (a subsidiary of the DNC)...

I am sure all these terrible "Rich Republicans" who are the ones buying the Disney timeshares for thousands of hard earned dollars just love getting screwed by Liberal Reporters that Disney contibutes to.

Thank you so much for posting this information. I couldn’t find much when I searched online the other day for it... I will be sharing this information with the “Palin Ping List”.
