It Has Begun. State-Run Media Refuses to Run TV Ads Critical of Obamacare (Video)
ABC and NBC have refused to run an ad critical of Obamacare.
This is after ABC aired a half hour Obamacare infomercial from the White House earlier this year and refused any response from conservatives.
The networks refuse to run this ad by League of American Voters:
FOX News reported:
The refusal by ABC and NBC to run a national ad critical of President Obama's health care reform plan is raising questions from the group behind the spot -- particularly in light of ABC's health care special aired in prime time last June and hosted at the White House.
The 33-second ad by the League of American Voters, which features a neurosurgeon who warns that a government-run health care system will lead to the rationing of procedures and medicine, began airing two weeks ago on local affiliates of ABC, NBC, FOX and CBS.
On a national level, however, ABC and NBC have refused to run the spot in its present form.

You’re welcome!
And for me - I believe there will be death panels... not in the legislation - but brought on by it... When I was young I was a democrat and I believed what democrats said. For example: One of the charges against some of the civil rights legislation was that it would lead to quotas... Everyone - including me - assured people that there would never be racial or gender related quotas. But there were - it was a logical outgrowth of the legislation. If you go back and read about it - youll see it. The mouth breathers saying there would be quotas - the enlightened saying there wouldnt be... The enlightened were wrong. Thats how this health care/death panel thing is - its NOT in the legislation but if you take this down time - enough years, itll be there. Thats what people are objecting to. Lets say there was legislation to form collectives rather than having for-profit farms. There would be people who would say that the legislation would cause starvation. And people like members of the MSM take it literally and read the bill and say, theres nothing about starving people to death in the bill. And they would be right. But there are people who know collectives dont work - that where they are tried - where ever they are tried - people starve to death. It does NOT work. But its not written in the bill. But it will be there - down the road - given enough time... Marx never wrote about putting millions of people to death - but communism always seems to include mass graves. But its NOT in the Manifesto. Do you see what Im saying - the death panels are there - just down the road...

Jake Tapper, ABC’s White House correspondent, is a reason to watch ABC, IMHO. Ditto John Stossel(sp?) from 20/20.
Sorry, but there are still DVDs worth watching...
You are right. I watch them on my PC.
