Who still watches the All Barack Channel anyway?

And also, who still watches National Barack Channel (NBC), Communist News network (CNN), and Complete Bull Shit (CBS).

ABC just begged us to organize an effort to boycott their advertisers.

What ABC just admitted is that taxpayer-funded inportation of children from foreign countries for the purpose of forced prostitution is NOT news. As such, they are ENDORSING THE IDEA.

Any advertiser endorsing ABC condones child prostitution as well.

Wherever this man got his degrees, he should demand his money back.

Their ideological filters on what is and isn’t fit to be “news” is gettng them real close to not being in any business at all.

Where are their stockholders? Do they enjoy throwing money down this deep dark hole or do they even exist anymore?

"...we’re not in the business of noise."

Just one response is sufficient ... Macaca

That would be Disney. ABC is just a division, and a money-losing division at that.

One thing that’s happened in the last couple of years at Disney is that they’ve finally woken to the fact that gay people don’t have children, and people who don’t have children don’t drop as much cash on Disney as those that do.

Pissing off families with kids isn’t a good business strategy.

Here’s hoping they wake to the fact that conservatives and libertarians have kids, and they drop money on Disney too.

That "noise" is the sound of the oppressed and fed-up masses bringing you the news of your imminent demise, idiot.

no... tax payer funded child prostitution rings are noise, especially if a future dem politician is involved.

/sarc

meanwhile... do we really need to see what stories ABC doesn’t feel are noise? i seem to remember a few stories focused on by the evening news being less than noteworthy

My e-mail to Holder:

Mr. Holder,

While you’ve been on summer vacation, the following scandals have broken regarding ACORN:

ACORN CEO's brother embezzles funds and no charges filed.

Voter fraud in several states.

30 employees found guilty of criminal charges.

Investigations in 12 states.

Counseling clients on how to set up child prostitution businesses.

Presidential candidate elected who told them they would be in the middle of everything.

We are waiting for you to announce the federal investigation into this criminal enterprise.

What a complicit joke they are.

I'd love to know exactly what business Mr. Banner thinks he is in. It certainly isn't journalism.

Charlie Gibson is now the poster boy for what happens when you rely exclusively on the old-stream media (OSM) to find out what’s going on the in the world: you lose touch with reality.

It’s fascinating, actually, that the OSM has grown so insular and isolated that they themselves have now lost touch with the world. Soon, no one will be paying attention to the OSM but others in the OSM. At that point, they will have constructed a self-contained alternate reality that only they exist in.

[BTW, I will no longer use the term MSM (main stream media). The tipping point has now been reached in which the old media outlets are no longer main stream: they are now simply just old. Hence, the the more accurate term “old-stream media”. I urge everyone else to start using term old-stream media (OSM), and will probably start making a minor pest of myself gently reminding people of this. If you control language, you control thought, and it’s time to start exerting ourselves in this fashion whenever feasible.]

The ABC affiliate in Monroe, LA doesn’t offer any newscast. Maybe the practice will become a best practice and soon be adopted by all ABC affiliates.

Yup. They can find and devote time to The One swatting a fly. Thats REAL news to them. But the Acorn scandal is nothing but “noise” that needs to be ignored. My, has the US news media fallen.

They aren't in the business of “noise,” but they are certainly in the business of lies.

At the rate ABC is sinking, they won’t be in business at all- well, maybe on the Disney Channel.

I’d like the connections between ABC & ACORN investigated...
