ABC TURNS PROGRAMMING OVER TO OBAMA; NEWS TO BE ANCHORED FROM INSIDE WHITE HOUSE
Tue Jun 16 2009 08:45:10 ET
On the night of June 24, the media and government become one, when ABC turns its programming over to President Obama and White House officials to push government run health care -- a move that has ignited an ethical firestorm!
Highlights on the agenda:
ABCNEWS anchor Charlie Gibson will deliver WORLD NEWS from the Blue Room of the White House.
The network plans a primetime special -- 'Prescription for America' -- originating from the East Room, exclude opposing voices on the debate. (snip)

Note the spin. Sure they "cover" all sides. But do they REPORT all sides? And equally?
and asking direct questions of all newsmakers -- of all political persuasions
Sure, for those of Democratic persuasion they'll ask hard hitting stuff like "Whats it like to be soo popular and well liked?", and those of Republican persuasions will be tossed softballs like "When did you stop beating your wife?"
even when others have taken a more partisan approach and even in the face of criticism from extremes on both ends of the political spectrum. ABCNEWS is looking for the most thoughtful and diverse voices on this issue.
"Most thoughtful and diverse = Only liberal leftists that agree with us.
"ABCNEWS alone will select those who will be in the audience asking questions of the president.
Whew, for a moment there I was worried. /sarcasm
Like any programs we broadcast, ABC News will have complete editorial control.
Translation: Its going to be our usual liberal fest.
To suggest otherwise is quite unfair to both our journalists and our audience."
You're absolutely right. I'm so sorry to think that for once you just might break away from your usual liberally biased reporting.
>>Who even watches ABC?<<
A lot fewer people than watched it up to last Friday.
I have to agree with Boucheau.
There was a small minority who still believed in God in the times of ancient Israel and Judah. That didn’t prevent their countries from being defeated and carried off into captivity by the Babylonians and Assyrians. There was a small minority of believers in Germany in the 1930’s. That didn’t keep Hitler from taking over. We are arrogant if we think that the fact there are still a small quota of believers here that God will continue to protect us if, as a whole, our country is living like pagans and exporting the garbage around the world. 50 million babies murdered through abortion, homosexuality being condoned officially by the state, pornography being exported around the world, divorce rampant, we don’t even keep the Sunday or the Sabbath holy any more. I’m not sure that God’s patience isn’t coming to an end with us.
You are exactly right. It's good that they've eliminated the pretense.
Government run media is not hiding what it is doing. The conversion to fascism is happening faster than expected.
If you’re waiting for God, you’ll get him—but not on earth.
I’ve come to tell you that no one is coming.
We that are alive and Americans are charged with the defense of this country and our way of life. The Founders are dead, the WWII generation is all but gone, Reagan is dead, etc.—THERE IS ONLY WE that presently live in this country.
If we do not make a stand, what righteous, worthy God would deem us worthy enough to save?
I would not have a God that would save a people like this, would you?
I wrote ABC ....I’m sure they will care about what I have to say..NOT.
Boycotting, complaining about media bias, being the righthand of the democrat party, helping them spew their health care propaganda...all of it was mentioned.
Editing myself here...
I told them they know they are a propaganda machine. LOL
It’s a joke to complain to any of the media outlets isn’t it. The don’t care what we say, or think. Or am I wrong?
It’s go time.
I was feeling disillusioned until I canceled cable. Now that I have eliminated propaganda from my life, all is well. The alphabet news networks will be the death of America as we knew it.
I don’t have a digital TV, nor cable, and I have decided not to even bother getting a converter box. I have written off the State Run Media as a mere mouthpiece for the fascist dictatorship.
There, I have said it.
Marxist, Facist, really no difference. Cut from the same cloth. F. A. von Hayek explained it well, and so does Jonah Goldberg.
Networks announce sixth show featuring Obama
President Obama, M.D.
New Sunday show joins prime time shows Reality West Wing; The Only American Idol; President Obama, Rocket Scientist
and dropping any pretense of allowing the private sector to provide healthcare
No need to be redundant, SeeBS knew the day they hired Wonker Cronkite they were BS.
That pic has always creeped me out of him. I don’t know exactly why.
I just read fresh headlines that the WH is now suddenly dire worried about Nkorea.
They're no longer trying to hide their bias with a guise of objectivity.
Wow. Unemployment at 9.4%. Trillions of dollars in new debt your grandchildren won't pay off. Nationalized auto industry. Obamacare and ObamaNews.
Obama sure sucks.
He must really think we watch that crap channel.
Well, I’ve been complaining about media bias since 1992, does that make me old? :) I wrote “you have officially become a propaganda machine for the democrat party....I consider you more of a state run media outlet now. I will never listen to you, nor will I ever trust your network again.”. LOL
